A-B 1756-CNB Module Rockwell ControlLogix Communication Control

Take Control with Logix

Rockwell Automation’s Logix offer users compatibility of control in a variety of platforms, including:

• ControlLogix™, a high-performance, multi-processing platform

• ProcessLogix™, a cost-effective distributed control system (DCS) for process applications

• SoftLogix™, PC-based control from the PLC leader

• FlexLogix™, FLEX I/O expanded to include distributed control

• CompactLogix™, value-focused compact modular I/O coupled with machine control.

Introducing ControlLogix for High Performance Control

ControlLogix provides a high performance control platform for multiple types of control. 

You can perform sequential, process, drive or motion control - in any combination - with this single plat form. 

Because the platform is modular, you can design, build, and modify it efficiently - with significant training and engineering savings.

Engineering Productivity is increased with advanced configuration tools, 

memory structure and symbolic programming that requires less programming and memory. 

And your investment in ControlLogix is assured through with such features as flash-upgradable firmware. 

The flexible ControlLogix platform permits multiple proces sors, networks, and I/O to be mixed without restrictions. 

As your application grows, you can use the NetLinx architecture for control and configuration of devices and collection of information

across Ethernet, ControlNet, DeviceNet and Foundation Fieldbus networks.
