1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 is a purpose-engineered AC variable frequency drive from Rockwell Automation's 1336 PLUS II series, designed to deliver precise motor speed control within layered industrial control architectures. This unit integrates seamlessly into distributed automation platforms, supporting coordinated operation across control, I/O, communication, power, HMI, execution, protection, and maintenance layers. With its HAP (High-performance Analog and Pulse) option board and L6 frame configuration, the 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 is optimized for demanding process environments where signal fidelity, system redundancy, and long-term operational reliability are non-negotiable engineering requirements.

Engineered for the 1336 PLUS II control platform, this drive supports multi-axis coordination and is fully compatible with Rockwell Automation's integrated architecture strategy. Its EN (Enhanced) communication option enables direct integration with ControlNet and DeviceNet networks, ensuring deterministic data exchange with upstream PLCs, distributed I/O modules, and supervisory SCADA systems. The drive's modular option board architecture allows field-configurable expansion without requiring hardware replacement, reducing commissioning time and lifecycle cost across multi-drive installations.

The 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 supports vector control and V/Hz regulation modes, providing application flexibility across pump, fan, compressor, conveyor, and precision positioning systems. Its built-in diagnostic registers and fault logging capabilities enable rapid troubleshooting during commissioning and scheduled maintenance cycles, minimizing unplanned downtime in continuous process operations. The drive's parameter memory and auto-restart functions further enhance system resilience in environments where process continuity is critical.

The 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 achieves its full performance potential when deployed as part of a cohesive Rockwell Automation control architecture. At the control layer, it interfaces directly with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 1756-L71 or CompactLogix 1769-L33ER processors via ControlNet or DeviceNet, enabling closed-loop speed regulation with deterministic scan-cycle synchronization. The drive's EN communication module ensures that drive status, fault codes, and process variables are continuously available to the PLC for supervisory logic execution.

At the I/O layer, the HAP option board accepts high-resolution analog reference signals from 1756-IF16 analog input modules or 1769-IF4 compact I/O cards, supporting precise setpoint transmission without signal degradation across long cable runs. For installations requiring distributed I/O, the 1734 POINT I/O platform provides modular expansion adjacent to the drive panel, reducing field wiring complexity and improving signal integrity at the execution layer.

Power layer coordination is achieved through integration with Allen-Bradley 1336-PB series line reactors and 1321-3R line filters, which suppress harmonic distortion and protect upstream transformer infrastructure in multi-drive installations. The BRF brake option on this unit works in conjunction with external dynamic braking resistors to manage regenerative energy during deceleration cycles, protecting the DC bus and extending drive service life in high-inertia load applications such as centrifuges, hoists, and winding systems.

At the HMI layer, PanelView Plus 6 terminals (2711P series) provide operator-level access to drive parameters, fault history, and real-time process visualization. The FactoryTalk View SE platform enables plant-wide drive monitoring across multiple 1336 PLUS II units, supporting centralized alarm management and trend logging for predictive maintenance programs. Communication stability between the HMI and drive network is maintained through 1783-US series managed industrial Ethernet switches, which provide IGMP snooping and QoS prioritization for time-sensitive drive control traffic.

For protection and redundancy, the 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 supports integration with 1489-A series motor protection circuit breakers and 700-series safety relays, ensuring compliant motor branch circuit protection per IEC 60947 and NEC Article 430 requirements. In redundant drive architectures, a standby 1336 PLUS II unit can be configured for automatic transfer via the 1336-GM1 gateway module, maintaining process continuity during scheduled maintenance or unplanned drive faults.

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines: The 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 is widely deployed in automotive body shop conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and precision assembly stations where coordinated multi-axis speed control is required. Its vector control mode delivers consistent torque at low speeds, supporting smooth product transfer and accurate positioning without encoder feedback in standard applications.

Power Generation & Utilities: In power plant auxiliary systems, this drive controls boiler feed pump motors, cooling tower fans, and induced draft fans, where variable speed operation reduces energy consumption by 30–50% compared to throttle-controlled systems. Its ControlNet integration enables direct coordination with DCS platforms via Rockwell Automation's ControlNet-to-Modbus gateway solutions.

Petrochemical & Refining: The drive's robust thermal management and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for compressor control, crude transfer pump drives, and flare gas blower systems in hazardous area control rooms. Its fault logging and parameter backup capabilities support API 670 machinery protection compliance in rotating equipment applications.

Water & Wastewater Treatment: Municipal water treatment facilities deploy the 1336 PLUS II series for variable speed control of raw water intake pumps, aeration blowers, and sludge transfer pumps. The drive's sleep/wake function and PID process control capability enable autonomous pump station operation with minimal operator intervention, reducing energy costs and extending pump mechanical life.

Mining & Mineral Processing: In underground mining and surface mineral processing, the 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 controls conveyor belt drives, ball mill motors, and slurry pump systems. Its dynamic braking capability is essential for controlled deceleration of high-inertia conveyor loads on inclined belt systems, preventing mechanical shock and belt damage during emergency stops.

Marine & Offshore: Shipboard HVAC systems, ballast pump drives, and cargo handling winches utilize the 1336 PLUS II platform for its compact form factor and robust EMC performance in electrically noisy marine environments. The drive's conformal coating option provides additional protection against salt air corrosion in offshore platform installations.

Q1: Is the 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 compatible with existing 1336 PLUS II control programs and parameter sets? Yes. The 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6 is fully parameter-compatible with the 1336 PLUS II series. Existing DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive parameter files can be uploaded directly via the SCANport interface or ControlNet connection, eliminating the need for full recommissioning when replacing a like-for-like unit. Verify firmware revision compatibility before parameter transfer in installations with customized application-specific parameter sets.

Q2: What communication networks does this drive support, and how does it integrate with ControlLogix architectures? The EN option module on this drive supports both ControlNet (scheduled and unscheduled messaging) and DeviceNet (explicit and polled I/O messaging). In a ControlLogix architecture, the drive is mapped as a generic device in RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000, with drive parameters accessible via MSG instructions or direct I/O mapping. For ControlNet installations, the 1784-KTCS or 1756-CNB bridge module provides the physical network interface from the ControlLogix backplane to the drive network segment.

Q3: What warranty and supply chain support is available for the 1336S-BRF10-AA-EN-HAP-L6? All units supplied by NANKMOS carry a 12-Month Warranty covering manufacturing defects and functional failures under normal operating conditions. Each drive undergoes pre-shipment functional testing including power-on verification, parameter integrity check, and communication port validation. Expedited shipping is available for critical maintenance requirements, with typical lead times of 1–3 business days from confirmed stock. For long-term supply planning, NANKMOS maintains buffer inventory of key 1336 PLUS II variants to support scheduled maintenance programs and emergency replacement requirements across global industrial facilities.
