Allen-Bradley 1336F-B025-AA-EN Adjustable Frequency AC Drive | Replacement, Equivalent & Selection Guide
The Allen-Bradley 1336F-B025-AA-EN is a 2.5 HP (1.8 kW) adjustable frequency AC drive from Rockwell Automation’s 1336 FORCE series, designed for precise speed and torque control of three-phase induction motors in industrial automation systems. It operates on a 200–240 V AC input and delivers reliable, field-proven performance across a wide range of manufacturing and process control applications.
Selection Background: Why Replacement & Equivalent Models Matter
Procurement engineers and maintenance teams frequently search for replacement and equivalent models when the original unit is discontinued, long lead-time, or cost-prohibitive. Understanding which drives are true drop-in replacements versus functional equivalents—and which cross-brand substitutes require parameter re-mapping or mechanical adaptation—is critical to avoiding unplanned downtime. This guide consolidates that intelligence so you can make a confident sourcing decision. Whether you need an exact substitute or a compatible equivalent, Konmask’s engineering team can validate fit before shipment.

Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
1. Direct Drop-in Replacements — Same form factor, voltage class, power rating, and EtherNet/IP interface. No parameter re-mapping required under normal conditions.
- 1336F-B025-AA-EN (new-production or refurbished) — Identical OEM unit
- 1336FORCE-B025-AA-EN — Alternative catalog notation, same hardware
2. Functional Equivalents — Same power class and communication protocol; may require minor parameter adjustment or different mounting footprint. Verify output current ≥ 8.0 A and EtherNet/IP support before substituting.
- Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 40 22B-D010N104 — 240 V, 10 A, EtherNet/IP option; compact footprint differs
- Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 525 25B-D010N104 — Modern replacement with integrated EtherNet/IP; requires Studio 5000 re-commissioning
- Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 4M 22F-D010N103 — Budget-tier equivalent; no EtherNet/IP native, add 22-COMM-E adapter
3. Cross-Brand Alternatives — Functionally equivalent drives from other manufacturers. Require full parameter re-mapping, possible I/O wiring changes, and PLC program updates. Confirm motor nameplate data and control architecture before ordering.
- Siemens SINAMICS G120 6SL3210-1PE13-2UL0 — 1.5 kW, 240 V; add CU240E-2 PN for PROFINET (not EtherNet/IP native)
- ABB ACS355-03E-08A8-2 — 1.5 kW, 200–240 V, 8.8 A; add FENA-21 for EtherNet/IP
- Yaskawa GA700 CIPR-GA70B2007ABBA — 2.2 kW, 200 V class; EtherNet/IP option card required
- Mitsubishi FR-E720-0.75K — 0.75 kW; suitable only for non-critical low-power substitution
⚠ Cross-brand substitution must be validated by a qualified engineer. Konmask can provide pre-shipment compatibility consultation at no charge.

Selection Guide
Answer these three questions to confirm the 1336F-B025-AA-EN—or its equivalent—is the right fit for your application:
- Power & Current Match: Is your motor rated ≤ 1.8 kW / 2.5 HP with a full-load current ≤ 8.0 A at 200–240 V? If yes, this drive is correctly sized. If your motor exceeds these values, contact Konmask for a higher-power equivalent.
- Communication Protocol: Does your control system use EtherNet/IP (Allen-Bradley ControlLogix / CompactLogix)? The -EN suffix confirms native EtherNet/IP. If your system uses DeviceNet or PROFIBUS, a different suffix variant or adapter is required.
- Replacement vs. Upgrade: Are you replacing a failed unit in an existing 1336 FORCE installation, or upgrading to a newer platform? For direct replacement, the original part number is safest. For platform upgrades, Konmask recommends the PowerFlex 525 migration path with full commissioning support.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the PowerFlex 525 directly replace the 1336F-B025-AA-EN without rewiring?
A: The PowerFlex 525 is a functional equivalent in terms of power and EtherNet/IP communication, but it has a different physical footprint and terminal layout. Rewiring of control and power terminals is required. Konmask recommends a site survey before committing to this substitute.
Q: Is the ABB ACS355 a compatible equivalent for the 1336F-B025-AA-EN in a Rockwell system?
A: The ACS355 is compatible at the motor power level (1.5–2.2 kW, 240 V), but it is not natively compatible with EtherNet/IP. An FENA-21 adapter card is required, and the PLC program must be updated to use the ABB EDS file. This is a cross-brand equivalent, not a drop-in replacement.
Q: Where can I find a verified substitute for the 1336F-B025-AA-EN if it’s discontinued?
A: Konmask maintains a curated inventory of both original and equivalent substitute drives. Contact us with your application details and we will recommend the most cost-effective replacement with the shortest lead time—typically the PowerFlex 40 or PowerFlex 525 series for modern installations.
