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.

The ControlLogix system provides discrete, drives, motion,
process, and safety control
together with communication and
state-of-the-art I/O in a small, cost-competitive
package. The
system is modular, so you can design, build, and modify it
efficiently - with
significant savings in training and
engineering.
You can also use the ControlLogix system as a
gateway. Include the communication
modules you need for
connectivity to other networks. For this use, a controller is
not
required. The ControlLogix gateway integrates into existing
PLC-based systems so that
users with existing networks can send
or receive messages to or from other networks. For
a more
flexible system, use:
?? multiple controllers in a single
chassis.
?? multiple controllers joined across networks.
??
I/O in multiple platforms that is distributed in many locations and
connected over
multiple I/O links.
Lay out the system by determining the network configuration
and the placement of
components in each location. Decide at this
time whether each location will have its
own controller.
Place
each controller??s I/O on an isolated network to maximize the
performance and to
more easily accommodate future network or
system configuration changes. If you plan
to share I/O, make sure
the I/O is on a network that each controller can access.
Assume
that Panel A and Panel B both require a controller and its own I/O.
Both
controllers interact with time critical information. Panel C
does not need a controller and
can be a gateway.
For a
ControlLogix controller to control I/O modules, both the controller
and the I/O
modules must be directly attached to the same
network.
Evaluate what communication needs to occur between
controllers. If there is sporadic
information that is not time
critical, use a message-based network such as an EtherNet/IP
(the
information portion), Data Highway Plus, or the unscheduled portion
of a ControlNet
network. If the information is time critical,
such as produced/consumed tags between
controllers, use a
ControlNet or EtherNet/IP network.
