ControlLogix
ControlLogix System Overview The ControlLogix system provides discrete, drives, motion, process and safety control with communications and advanced I/O in one cost-competitive package. The system is modular so it can be designed, built and modified efficiently, achieving significant savings in design and engineering.
 
 
CompactLogix
The CompactLogix system is designed to provide Logix solutions for small to medium applications. Typically, these applications are machine-level control applications. A simplified system consists of an independent controller, a single-slot I/O module, and a DeviceNet communication module, while a more complex system includes other network, motion controllers, and safety control devices. CompactLogix controllers are part of an integrated architecture system that uses the same programming software, network communication protocols, and information functions as all Logix controllers, providing a common development environment for all control areas.
 
 
Micro800
 
For custom products that provide basic control for stand-alone machines, switch to the Allen-Bradley® Micro800TM Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) family of products. Available in different sizes, these microcontrollers have been refined to provide smart, productive, safe products throughout your machine's life cycle: design, operation and maintenance, all at the micro-application level.
 
 
 
Micrologix1400
 
By combining the functions you require from MicroLogix 1100, such as Ethernet/IP, online editing and built-in LCD display, plus enhanced functions such as increased I/O, faster high-speed counter/PTO and communication performance, you can Make up for the shortcomings of the existing MicroLogix small programmable logic controller (PLC) family.
Built-in LCD with backlight to configure Ethernet network configuration, display floating-point values on a user-configurable display, display OEM logos, and view and/or modify any binary or integer file elements .
Program editing is performed using RSLogix™ 500 programming software (version 8.1 onwards) and the new RSLogix Micro programming software.
 
 
 
AB inverter
 
The PowerFlex® family of AC drives offers a wide range of control modes, features, options and packages, as well as worldwide voltages and many power ratings. With a consistent programming structure and common operator interface, PowerFlex drives are easy to program and configure, and reduce setup time, training and operation. PowerFlex compact AC drives provide a cost-effective, general-purpose solution for stand-alone machine-level control applications and simple system integration. PowerFlex Architecture-Class AC drives offer a wide range of features and application-specific parameters ideal for high-performance applications.
 
 
 
 
AB PanelView Human Machine Interface HMI
 
The PanelView 5500 industrial-grade human-machine interface HMI offers an intuitive, modern design and provides enhanced Logix integration using Studio 5000 View Designer software. Display sizes for the new terminals range from 7 inches to 19 inches, with widescreen, touch and keypad options. Terminals include dual EtherNet/IP ports for linear and device-level ring topologies.
 
View Designer, part of the Studio5000® automation engineering and design environment, allows engineers to enter configuration information only once and utilize it throughout the automation design system. The integration of PanelView 5500 with Studio 5000 View Designer helps you build modern applications more easily and make data-driven decisions faster.
 
 
 
 
 
FactoryTalk View graphic information software
 
FactoryTalk View provides powerful and reliable functionality in HMI solutions that scale from standalone machine-level HMIs to distributed visualization solutions. With FactoryTalk View, HMI challenges in process, batch and discrete applications can be managed in a single package that goes beyond the confines of the facility to provide critical visibility on demand, improving the work of users at every level of the organization efficiency.

AB PLC5 upgrade plan
 
Efficient and cost-effective upgrade to the latest ControlLogix®
 
  • Systematically prioritize your migration requirements by migrating only one PLC-5 frame, leaving all connected devices, slave controllers and I/O racks in place
  • By migrating the core controller and chassis, you can lay the foundation for future modernization
  • Rely on a fixed-price solution based on existing hardware and application size to migrate their core PLC-5 chassis and I/O
  • The company provides owners with free on-site evaluations to provide customers with the easiest and most economical upgrade solutions
