CompactLogix 1768/1769 System

Product Overview

CompactlLogix System Overview

The CompactLogix system is designed to provide a Logix solution for small and mid-size applications. Typically, these applications are machine-level control applications. A simple system can consist of a standalone controller with a single bank of I/O modules and DeviceNet communication. A more complex system may include other networks, motion control, and safety control.

    

System Components

CompactLogix system components include:

Component	Description
CompactLogix Controllers	• Options include: CompactLogix packed controllers, modular controllers, integrated motion controllers, and GuardLogix safety controllers. • User memory ranges from 0.5 to 3 MB standard, plus 0.5 to 1 MB safety, depending on controller type. • CompactFlash cards offer nonvolatile memory (flash) to permanently store a user program and tag data.
CompactLogix Communication Modules	• Options include: EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH-485, and Serial communication modules. • Install multiple communication-interface modules into the CompactLogix backplane to configure a gateway to bridge or route control and information data between different networks.
CompactLogix Integrated Motion Modules	• SERCOS interface for 1768 modules.
CompactLogix I/O Modules	• Options include: digital, analog, thermocouple, RTD, motion, and specialty modules. • Densities range from 4 to 32 points per module. • Remote terminal blocks (RTBs), interface modules (IFMs), or I/O module-ready cables are used for connecting to each I/O module. • Modules are rate IP20, Class I, Division 2/Zone 2.
CompactLogix Power Supplies	• Packaged controllers have an internal power supply. • Other modules require one power supply for the controller and local I/O, and one power supply for each additional bank of I/O modules.

Optional system components include:

Component	Description
Visualization Products	• Visualization products, together with Logix for control and NetLinx architecture for communication, make up the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture strategy. • Choose from PanelView Plus and PanelView Plus CE electronic operator interface and Rockwell Automation industrialized personal computer hardware. • Available Rockwell Software supervisory control software includes FactoryTalk View software.
Software	• Your selection of modules and network configuration determines what software packages you need to configure and program your system. • Program your CompactLogix system with RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software. • Additional design and configuration products include RSNetworx and RSLinx software.
