Allen Bradley 1756-A13 13 Slot ControlLogix Chassis

The AB 1756-A13 is a 13-slot chassis designed for use with the ControlLogix modular automation system. This backplane provides physical support and high-speed communication between ControlLogix I/O modules, controllers, and communication modules. Its expanded capacity makes it ideal for large control systems requiring extensive module integration within a single rack.

The 1756-A13 allows front panel installation, supports wall mounting, and is built to meet performance level e (PL e) requirements for use in safety-rated systems.
