Latest controllers offer improved performance

The new ControlLogix 5573 and 5575 controllers have enhanced memory and processing capabilities that help improve production rates, boost overall equipment effectiveness and provide more timely data for improved decision-making capabilities. Controllers interface seamlessly with motion drives through EtherNet/IP and sercos network interfaces and are capable of supporting as many as 100 axes. This further simplifies the synchronization of complex motion applications.

New Stratix switches help effectively manage real-time control and information flow

Since last year’s Automation Fair event, Rockwell Automation introduced an industrial layer 3 switch with Cisco technology. The Allen-Bradley Stratix 8300 switch extends the popular industrial switch family to provide VLAN and subnet routing capability using Cisco technology. Like the Allen-Bradley Stratix 8000 switch, the Stratix 8300 switch uses the Cisco Catalyst operating system, feature set and user interface. This helps engineers and IT professionals achieve secure, seamless integration of Ethernet applications while incorporating software and programming tools familiar to IT. In addition to external switches, Rockwell Automation is designing products with embedded Ethernet switch technology. Ethernet embedded technology helps enable machine builders to use a device-level ring topology that produces a single, fault-tolerant network.
