The 1769-L32E is a robust CompactLogix controller designed for small to medium-sized industrial applications. It combines high-speed EtherNet/IP communication with legacy RS-232 support, enabling seamless integration with HMIs, other controllers, and distributed I/O. Supporting up to 16 1769 Compact I/O modules across multiple banks, the L32E provides flexible control for conveyors, process skids, and machinery automation. Note that this legacy processor requires a 1769-BA lithium battery to retain programs and tag data during power loss.
