The Allen-Bradley 1769-L30 CompactLogix controller is a state-of-the-art control system. Each task can have a maximum of 32 programs, and priority levels ranging from 1 to 15 can be set for these tasks. An additional isolator is not required to operate this controller because Channel 1 of the system is an isolated RS-232 serial port. The controller is also adept at multitasking and establishes an environment that makes processes involving controller configuration and code encapsulation highly efficient. A requested packet interval (RPI) value between 2 and 750 milliseconds can also be specified to control the degree of inhibition of the system. The 1796-L30 controller can support up to 16 I/O modules that can be arranged in banks of horizontal or vertical orientation. For efficient communication, an Ethernet network can be used with one 1761-NET-ENI interface for each controller. A unique IP address is assigned to each Ethernet device. The controller also can allocate memory dynamically during certain operations. A Channel 0 Default Communication Push Button is provided to reset the communication configuration to the default setting. With a 1747-BA battery, the 1769-L30 controller has a battery life of 8 days at 60°C and a life of 20 days at 25°C. A battery indicator LED is also provided to indicate battery life.

Part number 1769-L30 is a compact Logix processor module that was designed and manufactured by the company known as Allen-Bradley. This module is capable of supporting up to sixteen (16) I/O modules with two (2) expansion cables on a max of three (3) I/O banks. Each of these banks, however, need their own power supply. Not only that, but only one (1) of these Allen-Bradley modules can be connected to a CompactLogix system at once. This module has the ability to be used wherever in an industrial setting. The Allen-Bradley 1769-L30 is able to communicate with another device through the embedded RS-232 ports within it using a programming cable.

The Allen-Bradley 1769-L30 also has many specifications that would be extremely important to know. The internal user memory for this device is two hundred and fifty-six (256) kilobytes. This device has a backplane current of eight hundred (800) milliamperes (mA) at five (5) volts direct current (DC) and zero (0) milliamperes (mA) at twenty-four (24) volts direct current (DC). The vibration rating this module gives off when operational is ten (10) G at five hundred (500) hertz (Hz) and its shock rating is thirty (30) G for eleven (11) ms while operational. This Allen-Bradley module weighs three hundred and sixty (360) grams, or the equivalent of 0.792 pounds. The physical dimensions of this product measure 118 millimeters (4.649 inches) by 50 millimeters (1.97 inches) by 87 millimeters (3.43 inches). The temperature range for this product's operation should stay between zero (0) to sixty (60) degrees Celsius, or 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This is accurate at a relative humidity range of five percent (5%) to ninety-five percent (95%) non-condensing.
