Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1756-ESMCAP is a capacitor-based energy storage module (ESM) for ControlLogix 5570 controllers. It replaces traditional batteries, providing power to flush volatile controller memory to non-volatile storage during power loss events while eliminating battery maintenance requirements.

  • Power dissipation: 13.3 W max
  • Operating temperature: 0 to 60 °C
  • Hold-up time: 12 days @ 20 °C, 10 days @ 40 °C, 7 days @ 60 °C
  • Weight: 0.152 kg
  • Enclosure type: Open-style

Why Choose This

  • Maintenance-free capacitor technology eliminates battery replacement schedules
  • Protects controller programs and data during unexpected power loss
  • Maintains WallClockTime for up to 12 days during power disconnection
  • Charges fully within 2 minutes of chassis power application

Common Questions

  • Is it compatible with 1756-L6x controllers? No, the 1756-ESMCAP is designed for 1756-L7x (ControlLogix 5570) series controllers only.
  • How long does it take to charge? The ESM charges for a maximum of 2 minutes after power application, indicated by the CHRG status message.
  • Can it be removed while powered? No, removing the ESM while the controller is powered triggers a minor fault and risks losing the application program.

Mounting Steps

  1. Align the ESM with the controller slot and slide forward gently until it snaps into place.
  2. Install the controller with ESM into an energized chassis to begin charging.
  3. Wait for the ESM Charging or CHRG message to clear before removing power.
  4. Verify the controller OK status indicator shows green.
  5. Monitor ESM status via the controller display or Studio 5000 diagnostics.

Buying Advice

  • Order the 1756-ESMCAP as a spare for every 1756-L7x controller in service.
  • For enhanced security applications, consider the 1756-ESMNRM non-removable variant.
  • Verify controller firmware compatibility: requires version 18 or higher for proper ESM management.
