CompactLogix Systems

CompactLogix is designed to provide a Logix solution for medium applications. Typically,
these applications are machine-level control applications with I/O requirements, network
connectivity, and motion control requirements. A simple system can consist of a
standalone controller with a single bank of I/O modules and DeviceNet communication. In
a more complex system, add other networks and motion control. Multiple controllers can
communicate across networks and share data.

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.
