Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN Migration-Ready AC Drive

Overview

Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN Migration-Ready AC Drive: Legacy System Retrofit and Compatible Upgrade

The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN is a 240V, 1HP sensorless vector AC drive from the 1336 PLUS II series — one of the most widely deployed variable frequency drive platforms in North American industrial automation. As the original 1336 PLUS and 1336 PLUS II drives reach end-of-life and spare parts become increasingly scarce, the 1336S-B010-AN-EN has become a critical migration-ready replacement for engineers managing legacy control systems, aging production lines, and control cabinet upgrades.

This unit is stocked, tested, and available for immediate shipment. Each drive is covered by a support terms confirmed by quotation and ships with full documentation support to assist your retrofit team through every stage of the replacement process.

Migration Compatibility Table

Retrofit Planning for Existing Automation Systems

A successful retrofit of the 1336S-B010-AN-EN into an existing control cabinet begins well before the drive is physically installed. Engineers should start by auditing the existing power supply capacity — the 1336 PLUS II requires a stable 240V input, and if the control cabinet houses a 1606-XLP or similar 24VDC power supply module for logic circuits, its load budget must be recalculated after the drive swap to ensure no voltage sag occurs during motor start.

Terminal block wiring is the next critical checkpoint. The original 1336 PLUS used a TB1 block for power connections and TB2 for control signals. The 1336S-B010-AN-EN maintains a compatible layout, but wire gauge, shielding, and grounding practices should be re-verified — particularly if the existing installation used unshielded cable runs longer than 10 meters. Any analog reference signals from a 1771-OFE or similar analog output module feeding the drive’s speed reference input must be re-calibrated after the swap.

For systems using DeviceNet or Remote I/O communication, the 1336S-B010-AN-EN’s EN communication option supports Ethernet/IP, which may require a protocol migration step. If the host controller is a legacy PLC-5 or SLC 500 communicating over DH+ or Remote I/O, a 1761-NET-ENI or 1788-EN2DN communication bridge module may be needed to maintain the existing control link without reprogramming the host controller. Systems already running on ControlLogix or CompactLogix platforms with an Ethernet/IP backplane will integrate more directly.

I/O mapping is another area requiring careful attention. If the existing system uses a 1746-IB16 or 1746-OB16 digital I/O module to manage drive enable, fault reset, and speed preset signals, the parameter assignments in the replacement drive must mirror the original configuration exactly. Parameter files should be backed up from the outgoing drive using DriveExplorer software before removal — this backup becomes the baseline for the new drive’s commissioning.

HMI screen updates are often overlooked during drive replacements. If the facility uses a PanelView 600 or PanelView Plus terminal with dedicated drive status screens, tag addresses linked to the old drive’s data table may need to be remapped to the new drive’s parameter numbers. This is especially true when upgrading from a 1336 PLUS (Series A or B) to the 1336 PLUS II, as certain parameter numbers shifted between generations.

Finally, confirm physical installation space. The 1336S-B010-AN-EN shares a similar enclosure profile with its predecessors, but heat sink clearance requirements and conduit entry points should be measured against the existing cabinet layout before committing to the replacement. Adequate ventilation is essential — if the original drive used a 1336-MOD-L2E line filter or EMC filter module, verify whether the replacement installation requires a new filter to maintain CE or UL compliance.

Downtime Control During System Migration

Minimizing unplanned downtime is the primary concern for any maintenance team executing a drive replacement on a live production line. For the 1336S-B010-AN-EN retrofit, the recommended approach is a staged replacement strategy: pre-configure the new drive on the bench using the parameter backup from the outgoing unit, verify all parameter values against the original commissioning sheet, and perform a dry-run power-up test before the scheduled maintenance window.

During the actual swap, the sequence should follow: isolate and lock out the incoming power, document all existing terminal connections with photographs before disconnecting any wiring, remove the old drive, install the 1336S-B010-AN-EN, reconnect terminals in reverse order of removal, and restore power only after a final wiring inspection. This disciplined sequence protects the original program logic in the host controller — no PLC code changes are required if the drive’s I/O interface and communication parameters are correctly restored.

For facilities that cannot tolerate extended downtime, a parallel installation approach is viable: mount the new drive adjacent to the existing unit, wire it in parallel, and perform a live switchover during a brief process pause. This approach is particularly effective in conveyor, pump, and fan applications where the 1336 PLUS II is used in a non-critical auxiliary role.

Post-installation, the commissioning checklist should include: motor nameplate data entry, acceleration/deceleration ramp verification, fault log clearance, communication link confirmation, and a full-speed test run under load. Each 1336S-B010-AN-EN shipped from our inventory has been pre-tested and verified against factory specifications, reducing the risk of commissioning failures and protecting your production schedule.

Retrofit Support FAQ

Q1: Is the 1336S-B010-AN-EN a direct drop-in replacement for the original 1336 PLUS 1HP 240V drives?
A: In most installations, yes. The 1336S-B010-AN-EN is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 1336 PLUS and 1336 PLUS II 1HP 240V variants. Terminal block layouts are consistent, and the drive accepts the same control signal wiring. However, parameter numbers differ between the original 1336 PLUS (Series A/B) and the 1336 PLUS II, so a parameter-by-parameter comparison is required before commissioning. We recommend using DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive to upload the existing parameter file and cross-reference it against the new drive’s parameter list.

Q2: What communication protocols does the 1336S-B010-AN-EN support, and how does this affect my existing PLC integration?
A: The “EN” suffix indicates an Ethernet/IP communication adapter option. If your existing system communicates via DeviceNet, Remote I/O, or DH+, a protocol bridge or adapter module will be required. Systems running on ControlLogix or CompactLogix with Ethernet/IP are directly compatible. For legacy PLC-5 or SLC 500 systems, consult your Rockwell Automation network architecture documentation or contact our technical team for bridge module recommendations.

Q3: Has this unit been tested before shipment, and what does the support terms confirmed by quotation cover?
A: Yes. Every 1336S-B010-AN-EN in our inventory undergoes pre-shipment functional testing including power-up verification, parameter integrity check, and output voltage confirmation. The support terms confirmed by quotation cover manufacturing defects and functional failures under normal operating conditions. It does not cover damage resulting from incorrect installation, overvoltage events, or environmental exposure beyond the drive’s rated specifications. Support requests are processed with a standard RMA procedure and typical turnaround of 5–10 business days.

Q4: What is your typical lead time, and do you maintain ongoing stock of the 1336S-B010-AN-EN?
A: We maintain dedicated inventory of the 1336S-B010-AN-EN to support urgent retrofit and emergency replacement requirements. In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For projects requiring multiple units or scheduled delivery windows, contact our sales team to arrange a reserved allocation. Given the end-of-life status of the 1336 PLUS II series, we recommend securing spare units proactively to protect against future supply constraints.
