Series & Revisions

Series A in stock; other series on request.

Series notes: Logix keys on catalog number and firmware revision, not series; with the default Compatible Module keying, any series of the same catalog number is accepted in the slot.

Intended Use

Built for machine-level control applications. CompactLogix controllers run packaging machines, palletizers, conveyors, material handling, small process skids and OEM equipment where a mid-size Logix controller with local I/O fits in the machine panel and programs in Studio 5000 like the rest of the plant.

Migration Path

Rockwell Automation has discontinued the first-generation 1769-L2x and L3x CompactLogix controllers. Published successor for the CompactLogix L2x / L3x: 1769-L33ER (ControlNet has no 5370 equivalent; move the network to EtherNet/IP) (CompactLogix 5370).

  • The 1769 Compact I/O and 1769-PA/PB power supplies carry over unchanged to a CompactLogix 5370 L3; the controller sits in the same left-most position on the same bus.
  • Open the project in Studio 5000 (RSLogix 5000 v20 also supports the L3xER), change the controller type, verify and download. The L3xER has dual EtherNet/IP ports with Device Level Ring, an SD card (1784-SD1) in place of CompactFlash and no RS-232 port, so serial devices move to Ethernet.
  • To move to Compact 5000 (5069) I/O instead, choose a CompactLogix 5380 and plan a re-termination; 1769 I/O does not mount on the 5380.

A like-for-like replacement or a repair keeps the existing program, wiring and panel layout; a migration is a project. Both are listed on this page so the choice can be made on lead time and budget.

Where the manual's only remedy for a code is to replace the unit or module, the code is pointing at a hardware fault inside that part. Those are the faults NJT Automation repairs at component level, so a repair quote is usually the first thing to check before buying a replacement.
