Allen-Bradley 1336-L5 (42336-173-54) — Control Interface Module | 1336 PLUS Drive Series
Engineering Background: The Allen-Bradley 1336 PLUS series is one of Rockwell Automation’s most widely deployed AC variable frequency drive platforms in industrial automation. Designed for demanding motor control applications, the 1336 PLUS drives are found across manufacturing, material handling, HVAC, and process industries worldwide. The 1336-L5 is a dedicated control interface module (catalog reference 42336-173-54) that provides the critical human-machine interface and parameter access layer for the drive system.
Product Positioning: The 1336-L5 Control Interface Module serves as the primary operator interface for 1336 PLUS drives, enabling parameter programming, fault diagnostics, and real-time drive monitoring. It is an essential replacement and spare part for maintenance engineers managing legacy 1336 PLUS installations. Konmask.com supplies this module from verified surplus and refurbished inventory, providing a cost-effective alternative to new OEM procurement with full functional verification.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 1336-L5 module connects directly to the front-panel interface port of the 1336 PLUS drive chassis. It communicates with the drive’s main control board via the internal drive interface bus, providing bidirectional data exchange for parameter read/write operations and real-time status feedback. The module’s keypad inputs are decoded locally and transmitted as parameter commands to the drive processor. Fault codes and operational data are retrieved from the drive’s diagnostic registers and displayed on the integrated LCD/LED display panel.
Signal path: Operator keypad input → Module processor → Drive internal interface bus → Main control board parameter registers → Display output feedback loop.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
- All 1336-L5 modules are sourced from decommissioned industrial equipment, authorized surplus channels, or certified refurbishers.
- Each unit undergoes visual inspection for physical damage, connector integrity, and display functionality.
- Functional bench test performed against a live 1336 PLUS drive to verify parameter access, keypad response, and fault display.
- Units are cleaned, anti-static packaged, and shipped with protective foam inserts.
- Traceability documentation available upon request for regulated industries.
Procurement Process
- Confirm Compatibility: Verify your drive’s catalog number is within the 1336 PLUS or 1336 PLUS II series. Cross-reference with your existing module label for part number 1336-L5 / 42336-173-54.
- Place Order: Add to cart and complete checkout at Konmask.com. Purchase orders (PO) accepted for qualified B2B accounts — contact us at support@konmask.com.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 1336-L5 compatible with both 1336 PLUS and 1336 PLUS II drives?
A: Yes. The 1336-L5 module is compatible with both the 1336 PLUS and 1336 PLUS II drive families. Always verify the interface port type on your specific drive revision.
Q: Will drive parameters be retained when replacing the 1336-L5?
A: Yes. Drive parameters are stored in the main control board’s non-volatile memory, not in the interface module. Replacing the 1336-L5 does not affect stored parameters.
Q: Can the 1336-L5 be used to upload/download parameters between drives?
A: The standard 1336-L5 supports local parameter programming only. For parameter transfer between drives, use Rockwell’s DriveExplorer software with an appropriate communication adapter.
Q: What is the warranty on this surplus unit?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all surplus and refurbished modules. Contact support@konmask.com for warranty claims.
Q: Do you provide installation support?
A: Yes. Our technical team is available via email and phone to assist with installation guidance and compatibility verification.
