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.
The ControlLogix programmable automation controller (PAC) features a modular control
platform with virtually infinite expansion of processors, networks and I/O. With memory
options up to 16MB, ControlLogix controllers support intensive process applications and
provide fast processing of motion instructions in a single integrated solution.
▪ Function Block Diagram (FBD) programming environment provides an extensive
set of integrated process control blocks and PID loop auto-tune capabilities
▪ PhaseManager option embeds an ISA S88 batch phase execution engine into all
Logix family controllers
▪ Control up to 32 axes per controller; control more than 32 axes with multiple
controllers
▪ Configure, program, commission and monitor motion functions and Kinetix drives
with a single software package—RSLogix 5000
▪ Mix multiple controllers, networks and I/O
without restrictions to address all
disciplines
▪ Mix standard and safety control in same
chassis
