Information About 1756-A4

The 1756-A4 is part of the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix chassis family, developed to support modular system expansion with high reliability and performance. It offers four slots for installing ControlLogix processors, I/O, communication, specialty, and partner modules, with the backplane delivering up to 10 A at 5 VDC and 2.8 A at 24 VDC. The chassis supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP), allowing maintenance without shutting down the system, and uses electronic keying to prevent installation errors. Designed for horizontal panel mounting in an open enclosure, it combines compact size with efficient power distribution and high-speed communication, making it suitable for demanding automation environments.

Key Features:

  • Slot Capacity: Four (4) slots to accommodate ControlLogix processors, I/O modules, and communication adapters.
  • Backplane Power: Provides 10 A at 5 VDC and 2.8 A at 24 VDC to distribute power effectively to all installed modules.
  • Power Dissipation: Operates with a maximum dissipation of 4 W, ensuring stable and efficient system performance.
  • Dimensions: Measures 20 x 20 x 8 in (50.8 x 50.8 x 20.3 cm) with a weight of 1.7 lbs (0.75 kg), allowing compact installation.
  • Communication: Backplane bus provides high-speed data transfer between modules for synchronized operations.
  • Mounting: Supports horizontal panel mounting with an open enclosure for flexible integration in control cabinets.
  • Safety and Reliability: Equipped with electronic keying to prevent configuration errors and protect system integrity.
  • Maintenance: RIUP capability allows modules to be replaced or inserted while the chassis remains powered, reducing downtime.

The 1756-A4 delivers the reliability and precision required for ControlLogix automation systems in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1756-A4
Question: What is the primary function of the 1756-A4 chassis?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1756-A4 is a ControlLogix chassis used to mount and interconnect various ControlLogix modules. It provides the backplane for power distribution and high-speed communication between modules. This makes it a critical foundation for building modular automation systems. It supports both local and distributed I/O configurations depending on the application setup.

Question: What are the physical dimensions of the 1756-A4?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1756-A4 measures 20 x 20 x 8 inches (50.8 x 50.8 x 20.3 cm). These dimensions make it suitable for compact enclosures and control panels. It’s mounted horizontally inside the panel and has an open-style enclosure. The design allows efficient use of space while maintaining robust electrical and mechanical connections.

Question: How much does the 1756-A4 weigh?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The chassis weighs approximately 0.75 kg (1.7 pounds). Its lightweight design helps simplify panel assembly and transport. Despite the compact weight, it’s built with industrial-grade durability. It can withstand standard operating conditions including vibration and shock.

Question: Does the 1756-A4 support module hot-swapping?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the chassis supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP). This allows modules to be replaced or added without shutting down the system. It’s ideal for reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Electronic keying prevents incorrect module insertion, increasing operational safety.

Question: Is the 1756-A4 chassis still being manufactured?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1756-A4 is still in production and is supported by Rockwell Automation. It is widely available and remains a standard offering in the ControlLogix family. However, always verify lifecycle status on the official Rockwell Automation website or through authorized distributors.
