CompactLogix System
Overview
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.
CompactLogix...
- with rackless I/O for flexible installation
- high functionality in a economical platform
- analog, digital and specialty modules 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 2Mb, 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 8 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-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.
For advanced real-time control and information capabilities:
- Connect to an Ethernet network through the integrated port on the CompactLogix 1769-L35E controller or by using our EtherNet/IP interface (1761-NET-ENI). The 1761-NET-ENI EtherNet/IP interface is a less expensive alternative means of connection that provides peer-to-peer and program upload/download capabilities
- Connect to a ControlNet network through the integrated port on the 1769-L32C or -L35CR controllers
- Connect any CompactLogix controller to a DeviceNet network using the 1769-SDN module
