The 5069-L3100ERM is a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) by Allen-Bradley. This device is part of the CompactLogix 5380 product category that features modern capabilities, designed to meet today’s control, integration and connectivity requirements of the industry.

The 5069-L3100ERM mainly features the highest embedded user memory among the CompactLogix 5380 controllers as this unit boasts of a 10 MB user memory that is coupled with a 2GB non-volatile Secure Digital (SD) memory card. The non-volatile memory area may be expanded up to 32GB to allow storage of other controller files such as recipe and data logs.

The primary communication port of the 5069-L3100ERM are the Two (2) Ethernet communication interfaces. These interfaces can be configured to operate in Dual IP or Linear / Device Level Ring (DLR) mode. Communication rates supported by these ports include 10 / 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps ethernet speed. The controller’s secondary communication port is the USB 2.0 Type B interface. It cannot be used for communication with visualization systems and higher level control systems.

It supports programming languages such as Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

Controller mounting requires use of DIN rail. It is recommended to use EN50022 - 35 x 7.5 mm (1.38 x 0.30 in.) or equivalent zinc-plated, chromate steel DIN rail. Permitted mounting orientation is horizontal position only.

This controller has a maximum controller task capacity of 32 tasks and supports all trigger types. It also has 2 built-in Ethernet ports that support 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 GB/s rated data transmission rates in full-duplex mode. The 5069-L3100ERM Controller has 10 MB of memory capacity and it supports an external memory card for memory expansion. It is mounted using a DIN rail and requires a Removable Terminal Block (RTB) with a terminal screw torque of 0.4 N-m (3.5 pounds on an inch). The controller has designated T4 ATEX, North America, and IEC temperature codes, and its operating temperature ranges between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius at 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. The 5069-L3100ERM Controller is c-UL, CE, RCM, EX, IECx, and KC-certified, and it has a net-weight of 0.768 kilograms (1.693 pounds) with dimensions of 143.97 x 98.1 x 136.81 millimeters (5.67 x 3.86 x 5.39 inches).
