Replacement Considerations
The CompactLogixâ„¢ L1 Series B controller is a direct replacement for the Series
A controller. The Series B controller has an improved power supply circuit to the
isolated power supply so that a second power supply is no longer needed.
The Series A controller requires two power supplies:
• One to supply the controller power (VDC)
• One to supply the field power (FP)
