Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the 5069-L310ER replace the 5069-L320ER directly?
A: Physically yes — same form factor and mounting. However, the L310ER has half the memory (10 MB vs 20 MB) and supports only 8 motion axes. Verify your program size and axis count before substituting.
Q: Is the 5069-L320ER backward compatible with CompactLogix 5370 (1769) I/O?
A: No. The 5380 series uses the 5069 Compact I/O bus and is not electrically compatible with 1769 I/O modules. A full I/O migration is required.
Q: What Studio 5000 version is required?
A: Minimum v30.011. Rockwell recommends using the latest available version for full feature support and security patches.
Q: Can I use a 5069-L320ER in a safety application?
A: The standard L320ER is not a safety controller. For SIL 2 / PLd applications, use the GuardLogix 5380 variant (e.g., 5069-L3100ERS2) paired with 5069 safety I/O modules.
Q: Do you supply used or refurbished units?
A: We supply new-in-box (NIB) and tested-surplus units. Condition is clearly stated on each listing. All surplus units pass functional testing.
