SCALABLE CONTROL SYSTEMS FOR SMALLER APPLICATIONS

The software brings integrated motion capabilities on the EtherNet/IP network to the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix controller family.

Using RSLogix 5000 v20 in combination with scalable, rightsized control system components allows users to scale from 200 to 10,000 I/O points using a single control platform and common user experience.

"Many machine builders and manufacturers must use multiple control platforms to meet diverse needs,” said Mike Burrows, director, Rockwell Automation.

"This creates unnecessary complexity because each platform has a unique design environment, user interface and vendor support model. Forwardlooking machine builders and end users need a single-control infrastructure that easily scales to match application.”
