Comparison with Other Models & Substitute Feasibility
Model | 1769-L32E (Mid-Range PAC) | 1769-L23E (Entry-Level PAC) | 1769-L35E (High-End PAC) |
Processor | 1.5 GHz dual-core | 1.0 GHz single-core | 2.0 GHz quad-core |
User Memory | 4 GB RAM | 2 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
Max I/O Points | 1000 | 512 | 2000 |
Motion Axes | Up to 32 | Up to 16 | Up to 64 |
Communication | EtherNet/IP, ControlNet | EtherNet/IP only | EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, Profibus DP |
Typical Use Case | Medium-complexity systems (e.g., packaging lines, water treatment) | Small-scale systems (e.g., conveyor controls, simple machinery) | Large-scale, high-speed systems (e.g., automotive plants, complex material handling) |
Substitutability | Cannot replace L23E (higher cost for unused capacity) | Can replace L32E in small projects (but lacks performance) | Requires L32E for mid-range needs (L35E overkill for smaller systems) |
Summary:
1769-L23E: Suitable for small, simple systems but lacks the memory, processing power, and I/O capacity of L32E.
1769-L35E: Overkill for mid-range applications; L32E offers better cost-efficiency for systems requiring up to 1000 I/O points.
1769-L32E: Optimal for medium-complexity projects needing multi-discipline control, motion, and reliable communication.
