Allen‑Bradley 1756‑L61A ControlLogix Logix5561 CPU Controller Module

Allen‑Bradley 1756‑L61A is Logix5561 main CPU controller for Rockwell ControlLogix PLC chassis. It executes user control logic programs, processes I/O signal data and manages internal communication tasks as the core processing unit of automation control system.

This A‑revision controller provides 2MB user program and data memory, supports large‑scale I/O configuration and RS‑232 serial communication. It uses 1756‑BA2 lithium battery for data retention during power loss, widely used as replacement spare parts for manufacturing, energy and petrochemical control cabinet maintenance projects.
