I have a MicroLogix 1400 1766-L32AWAA controller. I got everything out of the box today and connected the power, it powers on, set to DHCP and everything is good. The unit has 120 VAC I/O, so I jumpered the neutral to COM 0-3, and then touched the hot to one of the inputs, IN3 or 4. I saw nothing on the I/O Status page and then upon touching the wire again, it sparks and trips the breaker. Of course now I start the controller back up and fault is blinking red. I'm in the status file and it reads the error code 0x0008 major error.
I'm assuming I fried the damn thing and I just need to buy another one (just great ).
I thought I knew a thing or two about electronics here...COM in regards to AC refers to neutral, yes? And then the input will be a hot, to complete the circuit. What the hell did I do?
Thanks for any answers.
