Communication and Configuration

The 1769-L32E features two communication ports, including one RS232 and one Ethernet port. The RS232 port can be configured for DF1 or ASCII protocols, offering flexibility for connecting devices such as barcode scanners. Ethernet communication is easily set up using BOOTP-DHCP, providing efficient network configuration.

Memory and Expansion

With 750 KB of built-in memory, the 1769-L32E ensures efficient processing and data handling. Users can expand storage by adding a CompactFlash card, such as the 1784-CF128, to increase memory capacity. This controller supports up to 16 Compact I/O modules and allows expansion through three I/O banks for increased system scalability.

Environmental and Durability Ratings

The 1769-L32E is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. It has a shock rating of 30 G during operation and a 50 G non-operational shock tolerance. The controller is also vibration-resistant, operating at 5 G in environments with 10 to 500 Hz frequencies.

Installation and Mounting

This controller is highly adaptable with both DIN rail and panel mounting options. It is engineered for quick and easy installation, with a mounting torque range of 1.1 to 1.8 N-m.
