The Allen-Bradley 1769-L32E Compact Logix Controller is available in a unique compact cost-effective package. It incorporates one (1) EtherNet and one (1) serial communication port. It can be connected to the device via a 1747-CP3 or 1756-CP3 cable or an Ethernet cable. It has 750 KB of internal user memory, which can be expanded using the CompactFlash card part number 1784-CF128.

The 1769-L32E comes with a replaceable battery, part number 1769-BA, and supports the installation of up to 16 compact I/O modules, with up to 3 I/O groups connected via 2 expansion cables. 1769-L32E has a (5 V) DC current consumption of 850 mA, and dissipates up to 6.5 watts of heat. 1769-L32E can be easily mounted using either DIN-mounting or panel-mounting. The 1769-L32E can be easily mounted in either DIN or panel mounting, with DIN mounting having www.cniacs.com an operating shock rating of 30 G and a non-operating shock rating of 50 G, and panel mounting having an operating mode shock rating of 30 G and a non-operating mode shock rating of 50 G. The 1769-L32E can be easily mounted in either DIN mounting or panel mounting.

The 1769-L32E controller has an operating mode vibration rating of 5 G. It can withstand mounting torque forces from 1.1 to 1.8 N-m. The 1769-L32E has an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit), a storage temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius (-40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit), and a non-condensing relative humidity range of 0 to 95 percent. The Logix controller has a Group 1 certified emissions (CISPA11) rating and a unique open housing. Stranded wire from 22 to 16 AWG is recommended, while solid wire should be rated from 22 to 14 AWG. The module weighs approximately 2 pounds when shipped and measures 8 x 8 x 5 inches.

The CompactLogix 1769 Series serves as a migration platform for the legacy Allen Bradley PLC family, PLC5 and SLC500. A variety of CompactLogix 1769 products, including the 1769-L32E, ensure that previous processor functionality is maintained and enhanced.

The 1769-L32E processor can accommodate up to sixteen (16) compact I/O modules. It also supports expansion by adding three (3) I/O expansion banks. The controller has 750 Kbytes of internal memory and can be connected to non-volatile memory by installing a 1784-CF64 or 1784-CF128 CompactFlash card. The controller uses the 1769-BA to retain user memory. Avoid fully discharging the batteries as this may cause the user memory (including the user programme) to be erased. Use of non-volatile memory prevents such an event.
