CompactLogix L45 controller for expanded capabilities

In addition to more axes of motion, the L45 supports the use of multiple network cards including DeviceNet, ControlNet and Ethernet/IP.

Controlling up to eight axes of motion, the CompactLogix L45 is ideal for small to mid-range applications

For machine builders looking to standardise on a single integrated control platform with multi-disciplined capabilities, the new Allen-Bradley CompactLogix L45 controller offers expanded scalability and integrated motion control capabilities.

Controlling up to eight axes of motion, the CompactLogix L45 is ideal for machine builders with small to mid-range applications. The L45 is an extension of the Logix Control Platform, which brought integrated motion and distributed control capabilities to these smaller applications with the CompactLogix L43 controller, and includes ControlLogix for larger applications.

By extending the controller’s range of application capabilities, machine builders are provided with an integrated motion control platform that helps lower system costs, simplifies installation and eases maintenance, all within the CompactLogix family.

In addition to more axes of motion, the newest member of the Logix family of controllers supports use of multiple network cards, including DeviceNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP, enabling a seamless interaction and flow of information from the smallest device up through the enterprise business system.

CompactLogix is part of the Logix Control Platform, which leverages the same control engine, development tools, network and operator interface technologies and communications services throughout, making it a fully integrated, scalable control platform for use in discrete, motion, batch/process control, safety and drive applications. Logix family controller applications are developed using Rockwell Software RSLogix 5000 programming software, allowing users to move seamlessly from one control application to another with no additional program development or training.
