Looking at purchasing a Compact Logix starter kit from local ab rep. Have been using the Micrologix 1400 plc for the last few years on all my projects and wondering which compact logix unit would be equal to the micrologix 1400.
Depends on your I/O count and other capabilities.Looking at purchasing a Compact Logix starter kit from local ab rep. Have been using the Micrologix 1400 plc for the last few years on all my projects and wondering which compact logix unit would be equal to the micrologix 1400.
Really the only thing the Micrologix 1400 and CompactLogix have in common is they both do ladder logic.
Really...
Both made by AB/RA
Both called PLC's (kind a)
Both have inputs and outputs
Both need power
Both ....
the I/O count is too high for the micrologix so the compact logix looks like a great fit.
Then you may need to look at the 1769-L35e or 32e the 23e can be expanded but the power supply is fixed, see the manual below, I would get something you can play/learn with then put into the project once it starts

Chapter 6 page 80 is the I/O information
