The Allen Bradley ControlLogix sets a new standard for the PLC to deliver the high performance your application needs in an user friendly environment. The ControlLogix controller, with memory options that go up to 8MB, which support intensive process applications and allow for fast processing of motion applications.No processor is required to perform bridging and routing of I/O modules, in addition as the system grows, the network permits distributing control to more chassis.The memory options allow the user to specify the appropriate controller for their application. A CompactFlash card provides the capability to store a portable nonvolatile storage program. The AB ControlLogix I/O Rack is made in the following slot sizes of 4, 7, 10, 13, or 17 slots for modules to be installed. Multiple processors units, communication modules as well as I/O modules can be mixed without restriction.These Allen Bradley controllers have modular user memory (750KB through 8MB) and can address a large number of I/O (4,000 analog or 128,000 digital I/O maximum). They are capable of controlling both local I/O as well remotely located I/O. The maximum number of I/O connections remote from one controller is 250. An Allen Bradley ControlLogix processor can monitor/control I/O cards via many different Communication option including: EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, as well as Universal Remote I/O links.                

                                          


The ControlLogix series devices are conformally coated for temperature protection.  This system comes with HART features and its devices support up to 8 isolated channels. There are a variety of module types in the ControlLogix series.Some of the modules are Sercos servo modules, isolated output modules, generic servo interface modules, slot filler modules, and processor modules. The ControlLogix system modules come with open enclosures and they should be used for indoor purposes only.  These devices operate with different voltage ranges with amaximum voltage of up to 265 Volts AC. The operating temperature of the ControlLogix devices should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius.  These devices can be mounted inside a ControlLogix chassis.
