1756-L73XT Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix 5570 Extreme Environment Controller, 8MB

Product Description

1756-L73XT is an extreme environment rated ControlLogix 5570 series PLC controller manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It comes with 8MB user memory, conformal coated circuit board, designed to operate under wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C and withstand high vibration conditions. This rack-mounted Logix controller executes sequential control, process control and motion control logic, communicates via EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and backplane. It uses Studio 5000 programming software and shares the same programming architecture as standard 1756-L73, but built for harsh industrial environments where standard controllers cannot survive.
