Recently one of our readers brought to our attention that Rockwell Automation was preparing to launch a new I/O platform (thanks Brian!)
Not having heard of it myself, I headed over to Rockwell’s Literature Library to see if they had yet to published any information about it.
What I found was a recently released brochure for what Rockwell Automation is calling their new 5069 Compact I/O Platform.
What we know so far:
According to Rockwell’s own documentation, the key benefits of this I/O platform include a new high speed backplane for faster I/O updates, as well as expanded support for up to 31 local I/O modules.
In addition to the above, it also appears Rockwell has taken a new twist on its Ethernet I/O adapter by combining it with an integral power supply.
Some of the unique features of the combination Ethernet Adapter / Power Supply include:
- Diagnostic Display along with standard LED indicators
- USB port for configuration
- SD Card Slot
- Front access Ethernet Address rotary switch’s
- Terminals for field power
Also included in Rockwell’s documentation is the below list of 5069 Compact I/O modules:
- 5069-AEN2TR EtherNet Adapter supports up to 31 local I/O modules
- 5069-IB16 Digital input-24V DC, 16-point sinking digital input

I just learned today that the only processors that can talk to the new 5069 I/O is the L8x CLX.

Check out page 9 under “Important”.
I don’t mind the v28 requirement, but at least let us L7x and CompactLogix users play with the new I/O.
Thanks Jeff for pointing this out!
Very helpful info!
