CompactLogix System: Perfect for smaller, machine-level control applications
CompactLogix brings together the benefits of the Logix platform — common programming environment, common networks, common control engine — in a small footprint with high performance. Combined with Compact™ I/O, the CompactLogix™ platform is perfect for tackling smaller, machine-level control applications, with or without integrated motion, with unprecedented power and scalability. CompactLogix is ideal for systems that require standalone and system-connected control over EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet™, or DeviceNet™. Think every place you need economical, reliable control.
The family of CompactLogix controllers can provide:
- high functionality in an economical platform
- rackless I/O for flexible installation
- packaged controller forms to lower costs and simplify configuration
- analog, digital and specialty modules that cover a wide range of applications
- advanced system connectivity to EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet Networks
- truly integrated motion control capability
With a user memory ranging from 512K to 3Mb, CompactLogix controllers offer integrated serial (integrated RS-232-C ports for SCADA, ASCII, or peer-to-peer communication), EtherNet/IP or ControlNet channels, modular DeviceNet communications and local I/O capacity that can range from 3 to 30 I/O modules.
Using CompactLogix controllers on EtherNet/IP or ControlNet networks, you have the means to cost-effectively integrate a simple machine or application into a plant-wide control system. For example, you can use a CompactLogix 1769-L23E, L32E or L35E controller to connect a suite of scalable products, such as the Allen-Bradley PanelView™ Plus operator interface, POINT I/O™, and the PowerFlex™ 70 drive, for a full-scale integrated solution. Both ends of the architecture provide a direct link from real-time production information to manufacturing quality or execution systems (and back again), providing a more accurate view of plant operations and more control options than ever before to achieve this integration.
Use CompactLogix for small- to medium-size axes solutions. Typically, these applications are machine-level control applications with motion axes, I/O requirements and network connectivity requirements. Using the 1768-L43 controller with the 1768-M04SE SERCOS adapter module for motion control of SERCOS drives provides a truly integrated motion control solution at an economical price. Add an optional 1768-ENBT communication module for EtherNet/IP communications for plant-wide control.
ControlLogix System Overview: Perfect for high-speed, high-performance, multidiscipline control
The ControlLogix system provides discrete, drives, motion, process, and safety control together with communication and state-of-the-art I/O in a small, cost-competitive package. The system is modular, so you can design, build, and modify it efficiently – with significant savings in training and engineering.
ControlLogix brings together the benefits of the Logix platform — common programming environment, common networks, common control engine — to provide the high-performance your application requires in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation.
- The premier high-speed, high-performance control platform for multidiscipline control (sequential, process, drive, and motion)
- Fully-redundant controller architecture provides bumpless switchover and high availability
- Widest range of communication options and analog, digital and specialty I/O.
- Select ControlLogix products are TUV-certified for use in SIL 2 applications
With memory options ranging up to 8MB, ControlLogix controllers support intensive process applications and provide fast processing of motion instructions in a single integrated solution.
ControlLogix provides modular network communications that let you purchase only what you need. Interface using ControlLogix communication modules via a ControlLogix gateway, without the need for a processor in the gateway chassis, or interface directly to a ControlLogix processor.
The ControlLogix solution also provides time synchronization capabilities, which is useful in first fault and process sequencing applications especially.
PanelView Plus™ Operator Terminals
PanelView Plus combines the best features of the popular PanelView Standard and PanelView ‘e’ operator interface products, then adds new functionality:
- trending
- expressions
- data logging
- animation
- FactoryTalk View Studio direct browsing of RSLogix 5000 addresses
- multi-vendor communications
PanelView Plus is ideal for applications with a need to monitor, control, and display information graphically, allowing operators to quickly understand the status of their application. PanelView Plus is programmed with FactoryTalk View Studio Machine Edition.
PanelView Plus 700-1500 terminals provide a variety of modular display sizes, memory, communication, and labeling options. This gives OEMs and end users a standard base of common components and customized features to use across multiple applications. Common components help reduce maintenance procedures and inventory costs.
PanelView Plus Compact Terminals
