The 1769-L31 is a CompactLogix chassis-less controller optimized for serial communication applications. Featuring two RS-232 serial ports, this processor enables simultaneous programming and peripheral connectivity, supporting devices such as HMIs, barcode scanners, and legacy drives. Ideal for stand-alone machinery or localized control systems, the L31 delivers reliable logic execution without the need for Ethernet networking.

Q: Does the 1769-L31 support Ethernet/IP?
A: No, this is a serial-only processor. For Ethernet/IP communication, use the 1769-L32E or 1769-L35E.
Q: How many I/O points can it handle?
A: Up to 16 local 1769 modules; the total I/O count depends on the module types used.
Q: Can I use it for motion control?
A: It supports basic motion via local I/O or serial devices but does not support Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP.
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.
