CompactLogix programmable automation controllers

Tuesday, 22 May, 2012 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia


Rockwell Automation’s CompactLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) are designed to meet the growing need for a higher performance controller in a compact package. As part of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system, the controllers use the same programming software, network protocol and information capabilities as all Logix controllers, providing a common development environment for control disciplines.

Features of these controllers include support for Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP; device level ring network topologies; built-in energy storage that removes the need for lithium batteries; re-use of existing 1769 I/O; and kinematics that removes the need for additional robot controllers and software.

In addition, the family has a removable 1 GB secure digital card that may improve data integrity and flexible memory options up to 3 MB. The No Stored Energy (NSE) version of the family offers additional features for hazardous environments found in industries such as mining and oil and gas. Other capabilities include ‘open socket’ support for Modbus TCP as well as devices such as printers, barcode readers and servers.

The PACs are suited to applications ranging from small, stand-alone equipment to high-performance indexing tables, process skids, case packers, erectors and packaging.
