For manufacturers, OEMs and Systems Integrators in virtually every industry, the Logix Control Platform increases productivity while reducing total cost of ownership.
Unlike conventional architectures, the Logix Control Platform provides fully integrated, scalable solutions for the full range of automation disciplines including discrete, motion, process control, batch, drive systems and safety using a single control platform, a single development environment and using a single, open communication protocol. The platform enables you to re-use engineering designs and practices to reduce development time and cost, respond more quickly to customer or market demands, reduce maintenance costs and downtime and easily gain access to actionable plant and production information for improved management and decision-making.
ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controller
The Most Powerful, Most Expandable Controller
ControlLogix brings together the benefits of the Logix platform—common programming environment, common networks, common control engine—to provide you with the performance your application requires in an easy-to-use environment. As part of the Logix Control Platform, you receive tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O to reduce development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation.
Mix multiple controllers, networks and I/O without restrictions to address all disciplines
Mix standard and safety control in same chassis
The ControlLogix programmable automation controller (PAC) features a modular control platform with virtually infinite expansion of controllers, networks and I/O. With memory options up to 32MB, 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.
You may also combine any number of EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, or other networks for maximum communications flexibility. Or, you may route and bridge between CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) networks with no controller overhead.
ControlLogix controllers also support redundant architectures with no additional programming or customized controllers for high availability. The primary controller automatically updates the secondary with any data changes needed to keep it synchronized.
Additionally, standard ControlLogix products are certified by TUV for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 1 and SIL 2 applications. By using the same platform and development software as standard control systems, you may reduce development costs.
In terms of I/O, the ControlLogix platform provides a full range of digital, diagnostic digital, analog, motion control, and specialty I/O to meet a variety of application needs. Use any of the I/O modules in the local chassis of a ControlLogix controller or in a chassis linked to a ControlLogix controller across ControlNet™ or EtherNet/IP™ networks.
Development Environment
Streamline engineering with outstanding ease-of-use
