Product Details

1336F-BRF20-AA-EN Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN is a 2HP (1.5kW) AC variable frequency drive from the 1336 Plus II series, engineered by Rockwell Automation for seamless integration into layered industrial control architectures. Designed to operate within the Allen-Bradley ecosystem, this drive delivers precise motor speed and torque regulation across demanding process environments including manufacturing, energy, water treatment, petrochemical, and mining applications. Its architecture-ready design ensures compatibility with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and SLC 500 control platforms, enabling engineers to deploy a fully coordinated automation system with minimal configuration overhead.

The 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN supports 200–240V AC single-phase input and is rated for 2HP output, making it well-suited for pump, fan, conveyor, and compressor drive applications where energy efficiency and motor protection are critical. The drive incorporates built-in diagnostics, fault logging, and parameter management capabilities that reduce commissioning time and simplify long-term maintenance. Its modular design philosophy aligns with the broader 1336 Plus II platform, allowing engineers to standardize drive configurations across multiple machine cells or process lines.

Within a complete automation architecture, the 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN functions as the execution layer component, receiving speed references and control commands from upstream PLC platforms such as the Allen-Bradley 1756-L71 ControlLogix CPU or the 1769-L30ER CompactLogix controller. Communication is facilitated through the 1203-USB or 1203-GU6 DeviceNet communication adapter, enabling the drive to participate in a DeviceNet network alongside other field devices. For EtherNet/IP-based architectures, the 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP adapter can be integrated to connect the drive to a Stratix 5700 managed industrial switch, ensuring deterministic communication with the control layer.

Power distribution to the 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN is typically managed through Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP power supplies or coordinated with the 1492-SP series circuit breakers for branch circuit protection. On the I/O layer, the drive interfaces with 1734 POINT I/O or 1756 ControlLogix I/O modules to receive analog speed references (0–10V or 4–20mA) and digital run/stop commands. Signal integrity is maintained through 1492-CABLE wiring systems and, where required, signal isolators to prevent ground loop interference in high-noise industrial environments.

The 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN is fully compatible with the Allen-Bradley 20-HIM-A6 Human Interface Module for local parameter programming and drive status monitoring. For centralized supervision, the drive integrates with FactoryTalk View SE SCADA platforms, enabling operators to monitor drive status, energy consumption, and fault history from a unified HMI environment. This integration supports predictive maintenance workflows by surfacing drive diagnostics directly within the plant-wide control system.

All units supplied by NANKMOS are sourced from verified industrial channels, subjected to pre-shipment functional testing, and covered by a 12-Month Warranty. Global shipping is available with typical lead times of 3–7 business days. Stock availability is maintained to support urgent MRO and project procurement requirements.

The 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN is designed to operate as a coordinated component within a multi-layer Allen-Bradley automation platform. At the control layer, the drive receives velocity and torque references from the Allen-Bradley 1756-L71 ControlLogix CPU via a DeviceNet scanner module such as the 1756-DNB DeviceNet Bridge. For EtherNet/IP architectures, the 20-COMM-E EtherNet/IP Communication Adapter connects the drive to a Stratix 5700 Industrial Ethernet Switch, enabling real-time data exchange with the control layer at deterministic cycle rates.

At the I/O layer, analog speed references are delivered through 1756-OF8 ControlLogix Analog Output Modules or 1769-OF4 CompactLogix Analog Output Modules, while digital run/stop and fault reset signals are managed via 1734-OB8 POINT I/O Digital Output Modules. Power distribution is coordinated through Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP Power Supplies and 1492-SP Series Circuit Breakers to ensure stable, protected power delivery to the drive and associated field devices.

For local HMI interaction, the Allen-Bradley 20-HIM-A6 Human Interface Module provides on-drive parameter access and fault diagnostics. At the supervisory layer, the drive integrates with FactoryTalk View SE for centralized monitoring and alarm management. The 1203-GU6 DeviceNet Communication Adapter enables legacy DeviceNet network participation, while 1492-CABLE Wiring Systems ensure reliable signal routing throughout the control cabinet. Together, these components form a cohesive, scalable automation platform that maximizes system uptime, diagnostic transparency, and long-term maintainability.

The 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN is deployed across a broad range of industrial sectors where precise motor speed control and system integration are essential. In water and wastewater treatment facilities, the drive regulates pump and blower motor speeds to match process demand, reducing energy consumption and extending motor service life. In petrochemical and refining plants, it controls compressor and agitator drives within hazardous process environments, leveraging its robust fault protection and diagnostic capabilities to minimize unplanned downtime.

In manufacturing and assembly lines, the drive coordinates conveyor and material handling motor speeds with upstream PLC logic, enabling synchronized production flow across multi-station lines. In power generation and energy applications, it manages auxiliary motor drives for cooling fans, feedwater pumps, and HVAC systems within power plant control architectures. In mining and metallurgy, the drive supports crusher, mill, and conveyor motor control in high-vibration, high-dust environments, where its IP20 enclosure and robust thermal management ensure reliable continuous operation.

For packaging and food processing lines, the 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN enables precise speed synchronization between filling, sealing, and labeling stations, supporting high-throughput production with minimal product waste. In marine and offshore applications, it controls auxiliary machinery drives within vessel automation systems, where compact form factor and communication flexibility are critical design requirements.

Q1: Is the 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN compatible with ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms?Yes. The 1336F-BRF20-AA-EN integrates with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix (1756 series) and CompactLogix (1769 series) controllers via DeviceNet using the 1203-GU6 or 1756-DNB scanner, or via EtherNet/IP using the 20-COMM-E adapter. Add-On Instructions (AOIs) and pre-built function blocks are available within Studio 5000 Logix Designer to simplify drive integration and reduce commissioning time.

Q2: What installation and commissioning considerations apply to this drive?The drive requires a clean, ventilated enclosure with ambient temperature maintained between 0°C and 50°C. Input line reactors are recommended for installations with long cable runs or high harmonic distortion environments. Parameter configuration is performed via the 20-HIM-A6 HIM or DriveExplorer software. Verify input voltage compatibility (200–240V AC single phase) before installation. Ground the drive chassis per NEC and local electrical codes to ensure personnel safety and EMC compliance.
