1-4 Hardware Overview
Communication Cables Use only the following communication cables with the MicroLogix 1200
controllers.
• 1761-CBL-PM02 series C or later
• 1761-CBL-HM02 series C or later
• 1761-CBL-AM00 series C or later
• 1761-CBL-AP00 series C or later
• 2707-NC8 series A or later
• 2702-NC9 series B or later
• 2707-NC10 series B or later
• 2707-NC11 series B or later
Program the Controller You program the MicroLogix 1200 programmable controller using RSLogix
500, revision 4 or later. You must use revision 4.5 or later of RSLogix 500 in
order to use the new features of the series B MicroLogix 1200 controllers,
including the full ASCII instruction set. Communication cables for
programming are not included with the software.
Communication Options The MicroLogix 1200 can be connected to a personal computer. It can also be
connected to a DH-485 network, or a Modbus network as an RTU Master or
RTU Slave using an Advanced Interface Converter (catalog number
1761-NET-AIC) and to the DeviceNet network using a DeviceNet Interface
(catalog number 1761-NET-DNI). The controller can also be connected to
DF1 Half-duplex networks as an RTU Master or RTU Slave. Series B
controllers may also be connected to serial devices using ASCII.
See Chapter 4 Communication Connections for more information on
connecting to the available communication options.
The 1762-LxxxxxR controllers provide an additional communication port
called the Programmer/HMI Port. This port supports DF1 full-duplex
protocol only. The controller cannot initiate messages through this port. It can
only respond to messages sent to it. All communication parameters are fixed
and cannot be changed by a user.
See Default Communication Configuration on page 4-2 for the configuration
settings.
