Increasing focus on scalability and modularity

Through investments in motion and safety, Rockwell Automation delivers high-performance for the mid-range system. In the past year, Rockwell Automation introduced two programmable automation controllers in the CompactLogix form factor, the Kinetix 300 EtherNet/IP indexing servo drive and the PanelView Plus Compact. This year, the company plans to expand its scaled offerings by enhancing the capabilities of CompactLogix controllers, Kinetix servo drives and its visualization family—improving efficiency in both the design environment and the sustainability of the system once installed. These controller additions are ideal for applications with less than 200 I/O points and up to 16 axes of motion to help OEMs cost-effectively meet tomorrow’s machine requirements.

High availability easier and simpler

Rockwell Automation continues to expand its Integrated Architecture system to help meet high availability demands more easily and cost-effectively. The expansion includes Allen-Bradley ControlLogix L7 family of controllers which offers significant improvements in performance and provides faster cross-loading for redundant systems. In addition, fault-tolerant I/O provides SIL 2-rated redundant input and output modules including analog outputs that support redundant Ethernet adapters, all with no additional programming required. As part of the company’s end-to-end, scalable high availability solution, Rockwell Automation offers ControlLogix redundancy firmware version 19.50. Ideal for applications with redundancy requirements, version 19.50 provides support for Ethernet I/O, Ethernet device level ring topology, 1715 redundant I/O with redundant Ethernet adapters, and builds upon RSLogix 5000 v17 features.
