The Allen-Bradley 1756-A10 is a 10-slot ControlLogix chassis manufactured by Rockwell Automation for housing ControlLogix controllers, communication modules, I/O modules, and chassis power supplies within a centralized automation platform. The chassis provides a high-speed ControlLogix backplane that enables communication between installed modules while distributing regulated backplane power throughout the system. It is designed for medium to large-scale industrial automation architectures requiring modular expansion and flexible system configuration.
The chassis supports up to 10 module slots and is compatible with 1756 ControlLogix processors, EtherNet/IP communication modules, digital I/O, analog I/O, and specialty modules. It supports horizontal mounting and requires a separately installed 1756 series power supply such as the 1756-PA72 or 1756-PB72. With high backplane current capacity, rugged industrial construction, and scalable architecture, the 1756-A10 is widely used in manufacturing, process control, power generation, and distributed industrial automation systems.
