The hardware implements a specialized No Stored Energy (NSE) architecture that drops residual energy to less than 200 uJ per component upon power disconnection, eliminating spark hazards in gaseous or volatile environments. Featuring dual Ethernet ports configured for Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies, the module coordinates up to 16 motion axes over industrial networks while executing program logic without internal battery backup systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1769-L31ER-NSE Series A and B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS Stock \/ Factory Sourced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.00 lbs (5.44 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard CompactLogix 5370 L3 module dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 deg C to 60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard backplane power allocation from 1769 power supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUser Memory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 MB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Interfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-port EtherNet\/IP embedded switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotion Axis Support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 16 axes over EtherNet\/IP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Volatile Storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable 1 GB Secure Digital (SD) card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReplacement Terminal Block\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1769-RTBN18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEtherNet\/IP Deterministic Networks and Firmware Flash Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe processor regulates data packet delivery across EtherNet\/IP deterministic networks by executing synchronous data transmissions through its integrated dual-port switch. System architectures utilize the embedded Device Level Ring (DLR) protocol to maintain network connectivity and uptime if a single physical line break occurs. The processing core matches local I\/O modules via standard 1769 backplane bus communication velocity parameters, allowing deterministic I\/O density scaling across connected expansion racks. To ensure operational consistency, the module requires strict verification of firmware flash compatibility via ControlFLASH utility software, allowing secure updates over the active EtherNet\/IP interface or local USB channels before commissioning the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does the No Stored Energy (NSE) architecture affect data retention when the controller loses main electrical power?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because the NSE design eliminates internal lithium batteries and high-capacity capacitors to prevent sparking, the controller does not maintain long-term internal RAM storage on power loss. It writes active project data directly to the non-volatile 1 GB SD card during a controlled shutdown sequence to preserve the logic application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this processor module be inserted into an active 1769 backplane chassis while power is applied?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The CompactLogix 5370 L3 framework does not allow hot-swapping or Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP). Attempting insertion or removal operations while the backplane power supply rail is active will damage the processing circuits and trigger major system errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChassis Attachment and Mounting Alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mount the processor unit onto an EN 50022 compliant 35 mm DIN rail or secure it to the enclosure panel using the integrated mounting tabs. Verify that all neighboring 1769 Compact I\/O modules seat properly via the built-in tongue-and-groove guides before latching the bus connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWiring Configurations and Terminations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect field interfaces using 90 deg C rated copper wire. Limit solid wire selections to sizes between 22-14 AWG and stranded wire options to 22-16 AWG. Strip insulation back according to the specifications designated for the 1769-RTBN18 replacement terminal block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Grounding and Shield Layouts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Terminate the controller grounding lug directly to a low-impedance functional earth ground bar on the central control panel. Route all EtherNet\/IP and communication lines in isolated wireways away from high-voltage AC conductors or variable frequency drive cables to suppress electromagnetic noise cross-talk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Allen Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422217203811,"sku":"1769-L31ER-NSE","price":310.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/5246\/8067\/files\/225_98480b67-3438-43f0-ac30-0a9c865a2dc1.jpg?v=1785373526","url":"https:\/\/www.autocontrolglobal.com\/products\/1769-l31er-nseallen-bradley-compactlogix-5370-l3-controller","provider":"AutoControl Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
