The 1769-L23-QBFC1B (Part Number: 1769-L23-QBFC1B) is an all-in-one "Packaged" Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) designed for small to mid-sized industrial applications that require a high density of integrated I/O. This controller belongs to the CompactLogix L23 series and is uniquely equipped with 42 total I/O channels, including digital, analog, and high-speed counting capabilities. It is a highly cost-effective solution for standalone machine control or serial-based communication architectures.
Featuring 512 KB of user memory, the 1769-L23-QBFC1B supports sophisticated control logic through multiple programming languages such as Ladder Diagram (LD) and Structured Text (ST). Its hardware design emphasizes monitoring and maintenance, providing a comprehensive array of LED status indicators for everything from network link activity to individual I/O point status. The unit also includes two built-in RS-232 serial ports, enabling simultaneous communication with HMIs, barcode scanners, or other DF1/ASCII compatible devices.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Digital I/O | 16 DC Inputs (24V DC Sink/Source) and 16 DC Outputs (24V DC Source) |
| Analog Inputs | 4 channels (Differential or Single-ended); ±10V, 0-10V, 0-5V, 1-5V, and 0-20mA |
| Analog Outputs | 2 channels (Single-ended); ±10V and 0-20mA |
| High-Speed Counters (HSC) | 4 integrated counters |
| Physical Dimensions | 105 mm x 249.4 mm x 118 mm |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to 60 °C (32 to 140 °F) |
The 1769-L23-QBFC1B is an excellent choice for:
Material handling systems
Simple batching systems
HVAC controls
Its integrated analog and high-speed counter points make it particularly effective for controlling variable frequency drives (VFDs) and receiving high-speed encoder feedback in positioning tasks, all without the need for additional expansion modules.
What is the maximum cable distance for the serial ports?
To ensure signal integrity and prevent data loss, the RS-232 serial cable length should be limited to a maximum of 15.2 meters (50 feet).
Can I expand the I/O beyond the integrated 42 channels?
Yes, the 1769-L23-QBFC1B supports the addition of up to two local 1769 Compact I/O modules on the right side of the controller.
