Rockwell Automation: Programmable Automation Controllers for basic to high-performance process and motion applications

Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5570 Series PACs, which include the ControlLogix 5571, 5572, 5572S, 5573, 5573S, 5574 and 5575 controllers, feature enhanced process, motion, safety and information capabilities, leverage a common design environment and networking of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system.

For process applications, the new ControlLogix controllers significantly improve the amount of information that can be exchanged between the control and supervisory layers, while allowing more control strategies to be executed. This helps boost system performance while enhancing access to real-time information for improved productivity. For motion applications, the ControlLogix 5570 series controllers provide high-speed axis and trajectory planning making it useful for synchronizing complex motion applications. Each controller is capable of supporting more than 100 axes of motion and seamlessly integrates through EtherNet/IP and SERCOS network interfaces. For discrete applications, ControlLogix controllers provide 2-3 times faster scan times and a range of memory options from 2 to 32 MB.
