The 1769-L30ER-NSE is a specialized member of the CompactLogix 5370 L3 family, designed for high-security or hazardous environments where residual energy storage must be eliminated.
The "NSE" (No-Stored Energy) designation indicates that this controller has no internal energy storage, unlike standard models that use capacitors to maintain the Real-Time Clock (RTC) and volatile memory. This makes it ideal for applications in mining, explosive atmospheres, or sensitive facilities where accidental stored energy discharge could pose a safety risk.

Mandatory SD Card Use: The application program must be stored on the included SD card.
Load on Power-Up: Controller loads the program automatically from the SD card upon power restoration.
Clock Synchronization: RTC resets to default on power loss. Use an NTP server over Ethernet to resync time once the network is active.
What happens to data during a power failure?
Any data in volatile tags not saved to the SD card will be lost. Use non-volatile tags or periodically write to the SD card for critical data.
Is it compatible with standard 1769 I/O modules?
Yes. It supports the same 1769 backplane and up to 8 local expansion modules within the power supply distance rating of 4.
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.
