AB Rockwell ControlLogix Controller Features
The advantages of the ControlLogix controller are:
(1) The modular high-performance control platform can meet the requirements of sequence control, process control, drive and motion control. Each ControlLogix controller can perform multiple control tasks, reducing the number of controllers required by the system, thus speeding up the inspection of system failures. Multiple periodic tasks can be triggered at different times to achieve higher performance levels.
(2) Combines multiple controllers, networks, and I/O without restrictions. The high performance of ControlLogix platform is attributed to the backplane or backplane of ControlLogix to a certain extent, because it provides a very fast NetLinx network. On this network, the controller, I/O module and communication module of ControlLogix can complete tasks requiring certain intelligence like nodes.
(3) Universal programming environment and Logix control engine. No matter how to set up the control platform or network, the cost of the system is low and the integration is more convenient due to the use of common control modules. The consistent coordination of system configuration and programming makes it easier to complete the initial program expansion and long-term system maintenance.
(4) Interconnection with NetLinx public network system. At all levels, information can be seamlessly interconnected through the network, and can interact with the Internet, realizing the control application of electronic information.
(5) A variety of I/O modules. Analog quantity, digital quantity and special I/O modules meet the requirements of various occasions.
(6) It provides necessary reliability for mature self diagnosis and standardized design of high level reliability.
