1 Reference Manual MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controllers Catalog Numbers 1766-L32 BWA, 1766-L32 AWA, 1766-L32 BXB, 1766-L32 BWAA, 1766-L32 AWAA, 1766-L32 BXBA. Important User Information Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at ) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid-state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable. In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.

Summary of Changes To help you locate new and updated information in this release of the manual, we have included change bars as shown to the right of this paragraph. Firmware Revision Features are added to the controllers through firmware upgrades.

4 See the latest release notes, 1766-RN001, to be sure that your controller's firmware is at the level History you need. Firmware upgrades are not required, except to allow you access to the new features. See Firmware Upgrades below. Firmware Upgrades Enhanced features are added to the controllers through a firmware upgrade. This firmware upgrade is not required, except to allow you access to the latest features and corrected anomalies. You can only upgrade firmware within the same series of controller. To use the newest features, be sure your controller's firmware is at the following level: Programmable Firmware Revision Catalog Numbers Controller MicroLogix 1400 OS Series A FRN 6, Boot 1766-L32 AWA, 1766-L32 BWA, 1766-L32 BXB, Series A FRN 1 1766-L32 AWAA, 1766-L32 BWAA and 1766-L32 BXBA controllers OS Series B FRN 10, Boot Series B FRN 3. To upgrade the firmware for a MicroLogix controller visit the MicroLogix web site at In order to use all of the latest features available with OS Series A controllers, RSLogix 500/RSLogix Micro programming software must be version or higher.

5 For Series B controllers, this should be version or higher. iii Publication 1766-RM001D-EN-P - September 2011. iv Summary of Changes Notes: Publication 1766-RM001D-EN-P - September 2011.
