Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN Replacement for 1336 PLUS II

Product Overview

Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN Replacement for 1336 PLUS II: Smooth Migration & Legacy System Compatibility

The Allen-Bradley 1336S-B010-AN-EN is a 1HP, 240V AC sensorless vector drive from the 1336 PLUS II series — a platform that has powered countless industrial automation systems across manufacturing, water treatment, material handling, and process control applications. As the 1336 PLUS II series reaches end-of-life and spare parts become increasingly scarce, plant engineers and procurement teams face mounting pressure to source verified replacement units or plan a structured migration to a supported drive platform.

At TOPNLMS, we stock the 1336S-B010-AN-EN as a direct drop-in replacement for failed or aging 1336 PLUS II drives. Every unit is tested prior to shipment, backed by a 12-month warranty, and dispatched from our Xiamen warehouse with full documentation support. Whether you need an emergency swap to restore production or are planning a phased retrofit across multiple control panels, this guide covers everything you need to execute a successful migration.

Seamless Upgrade Solutions

A successful 1336 PLUS II migration rarely involves the drive alone. In most retrofit projects, the 1336S-B010-AN-EN is installed alongside a coordinated set of supporting components that ensure wiring integrity, communication continuity, and system-level compatibility.

For communication integration, many sites use the 1203-USB or 1203-GU6 DPI-to-USB gateway to connect the drive to a laptop running DriveExplorer for parameter upload and verification. Where the existing control network runs on DeviceNet, a 1203-GD1 DeviceNet adapter bridges the DPI port to the fieldbus without requiring PLC program changes. Sites running ControlNet topologies typically add a 1203-CN1 ControlNet adapter to maintain scanner-to-drive communication.

On the power side, the drive’s 240V input is typically fed through a 1321-3R series line reactor to suppress voltage transients and protect the drive’s input rectifier — particularly important in facilities with variable transformer loading or long cable runs. A 1321-M series EMC filter is recommended where CE compliance or EMI suppression is required in the control cabinet.

For I/O expansion and signal conditioning, engineers often pair the 1336S-B010-AN-EN with a 1492-AIFM analog interface module or a 1492-IFM series terminal block to cleanly land field wiring and isolate analog speed reference signals. Where legacy 4–20mA transmitters feed the drive’s analog input, a signal isolator or loop-powered conditioner prevents ground loop interference that can cause erratic speed control.

In multi-drive panels, the drive is frequently mounted in a 1336-MOD-L2 or equivalent chassis enclosure alongside a 1336-BRB dynamic braking resistor module for applications requiring fast deceleration — such as conveyor systems or hoists. The 1201-HA2 HIM adapter allows a legacy Human Interface Module to be reused from the old drive, preserving operator familiarity and reducing retraining time on the shop floor.

Finally, for sites migrating from older 1336 PLUS (1336F) or 1336 IMPACT drives, the parameter structure differences are manageable: most speed reference, accel/decel ramp, and current limit parameters map directly, and the existing motor nameplate data (FLA, RPM, voltage) transfers without modification. This makes the 1336S-B010-AN-EN one of the lowest-disruption replacement options available for legacy 1336-series installations.

Retrofit Guidance FAQ

Q: Can I reuse the existing field wiring when swapping in the 1336S-B010-AN-EN?
A: In most cases, yes. The TB1 and TB2 terminal block layout on the 1336 PLUS II is consistent across the series. Verify analog input type (voltage vs. current) and digital input logic levels before reconnecting. Label all wires before removal and photograph the original terminal layout.

Q: Do I need to modify my PLC program after replacing the drive?
A: If you are replacing a like-for-like 1336S-B010-AN-EN unit on the same communication network, no PLC program changes are required. If migrating from a 1336 PLUS (SCANport) to a 1336 PLUS II (DPI), you will need to add the appropriate DPI communication adapter and update the scanner configuration in your ControlLogix or SLC 500 program.

Q: Is the 1336S-B010-AN-EN compatible with my existing DeviceNet or ControlNet network?
A: The drive’s native DPI port is not directly compatible with SCANport-based networks. Use a 1203-GD1 (DeviceNet) or 1203-CN1 (ControlNet) adapter to bridge the DPI port to your existing fieldbus. Node address and baud rate settings are configured via the adapter’s DIP switches or software tool.

Q: How do I transfer parameters from the old drive to the new unit?
A: Use DriveExplorer or Studio 5000 Drive Executive with a 1203-USB gateway to upload parameters from the old drive (if still functional) and download them to the replacement unit. If the old drive has failed, re-enter parameters manually from your commissioning records or motor nameplate data. Key parameters include motor FLA, base speed, accel/decel times, and analog input scaling.

Q: Will the replacement drive fit in the same physical space in my control cabinet?
A: The 1336S-B010-AN-EN uses the same IP20 chassis form factor as other 1HP 1336 PLUS II units. Mounting hole patterns and overall dimensions are consistent within the series. Verify clearance requirements for airflow (top and bottom) as specified in the 1336 PLUS II installation manual (publication 1336PLUS-IN004).

Q: What is the recommended commissioning procedure after installation?
A: Power up with motor disconnected first to verify drive status and communication. Enter motor nameplate data, set control mode to Sensorless Vector, and perform an autotune routine. Reconnect motor, run at low speed to verify rotation direction, then ramp to full speed under no-load conditions before returning to production.

Warranty Assurance

Every 1336S-B010-AN-EN unit shipped by TOPNLMS is covered by a 12-month warranty from the date of shipment. Prior to dispatch, each drive undergoes a pre-shipment functional test including power-on verification, communication port check, and parameter integrity confirmation. Units are packed in anti-static foam with original or equivalent protective packaging to prevent transit damage.

In the event of a warranty claim, our technical team responds within 1 business day. We support remote diagnosis via email or video call, and where a defect is confirmed, we arrange a replacement unit dispatch or full refund — your choice. Return shipping for warranty claims is covered by TOPNLMS for the first 90 days from shipment.

For procurement teams managing critical spare inventories, we offer multi-unit stocking agreements with reserved allocation and priority dispatch. Lead times for standard stock items are typically 3–7 business days to most destinations, with express options available for emergency requirements.

All units are sourced through verified supply channels. We provide full traceability documentation on request, including test records and origin certification, to support your incoming inspection and quality assurance processes.
