1769-L31 CompactLogix™ Controller
System Planning
Consider the following when planning your CompactLogix system:
• The CompactLogix controller is always the left-most module in the system.
• The controller must be located within four modules of the system power
supply. Some I/O module's may be located up to 8 modules away from the
power supply. See the documentation for your 1769 I/O modules for details.
• The 1769-L31 controller supports as many as 16 I/O modules in a maximum
of 3 I/O banks with 2 expansion cables.
• Each I/O bank requires its own power supply.
• Only one controller can be used in a CompactLogix system.
• A 1769-ECR (right end cap) or 1769-ECL (left end cap) is required to
terminate the end of the communication bus.
