Unboxing a CompactLogix 5069 PLC
Eric Hanley, Automation, HMI & Network Specialist at ES&E, gives you a quick tour of the features offered by the CompactLogix 5069 PLC in this unboxing video.
This video demonstrates the unboxing and setup of the 5069 PLC, specifically the 5069-L306-ERM-S2 model, which features Ethernet redundancy, motion control, and SIL2 rating. Key highlights include the lack of included terminal blocks, which must be ordered separately, and the inclusion of an end cap, eliminating the need for a terminating resistor. The video also covers the PLC’s front features such as status LEDs, network indicators, and ports for programming and connectivity, as well as the controller's ability to switch between different operational modes and network topologies.
