MIDRANGE CONTROL
23 October 2012
Rockwell Automation has expanded its Integrated Architecture portfolio for smaller applications, with a series of scalable Allen-Bradley CompactLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs), compact Kinetix servo drives, scalable I/O and versatile PanelView Plus 6 visualisation and software tools.
With high-performance features such as increased processor power, integrated CIP motion over EtherNet/IP, integrated safety, EtherNet/IP connectivity and reusable development tools, Rockwell gives users the ability to standardise on a cost sensitive and scalable single control platform.
By leveraging the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture in smaller applications – known as ‘midrange control solutions’ – machine builders can reduce the costs and complexities of their machines while providing a more competitive and scalable offering.
