Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1762-RTC is a real-time clock (RTC) module designed for MicroLogix 1200 programmable logic controllers. It provides accurate timekeeping functionality that allows the PLC system to perform time-based control, event logging, scheduling, and sequence operations.
By adding real-time clock capability to the MicroLogix platform, this module enables automation systems to execute tasks based on actual date and time. This is essential for applications such as production scheduling, data logging, and time-stamped event tracking.
The 1762-RTC is designed for reliable operation within industrial environments and can be installed directly into the MicroLogix system architecture. It supports remove/insert under power functionality, allowing maintenance or replacement without shutting down the system, improving operational continuity.
With a compact design and stable performance within a 0–55°C operating range, the module is suitable for standard industrial control panels where accurate time synchronization is required.
