The 1769-SM1 is a communication adapter for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems. It connects legacy SCANport/DPI drives (e.g., PowerFlex 7-Class, 1305, 1336, 1397) directly to the 1769 Compact I/O backplane, allowing the controller to perform real-time monitoring, command execution, and status feedback as if the drive were a local I/O module. This simplifies migration of older drives into modern Logix-based control systems.
| Item | Specification |

Integration: Connects older SCANport/DPI drives as local I/O, no complex gateway needed
Programming: Configurable via RSLogix 5000, Studio 5000, or Connected Components Workbench (CCW)
Power: Draws logic power from the 1769 backplane; the drive provides SCANport-side power
Capacity: Supports one drive per module; multiple drives require multiple SM1 modules
Q: Can this be used with PowerFlex 525 or 520 drives?
A: No. Use direct EtherNet/IP for newer drives; SM1 is for legacy SCANport/DPI devices.
Q: Does this module need an external power supply?
A: No, logic power comes from the 1769 backplane.
Q: How many drives can one SM1 control?
A: One SCANport device per module.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
