This publication features these controllers, and where applicable, the
controllers are known as:
Controller Family Includes these controllers
5580 controllers ControlLogix® 5580 and GuardLogix® 5580 controllers
5380 controllers CompactLogix™ 5380 and Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers
5570 controllers ControlLogix 5570 and GuardLogix 5570 controllers
5370 controllers CompactLogix 5370 and Compact GuardLogix 5370 controllers
This publication provides a reference to controller capabilities and how the
5580/5380 controller capabilities differ from the 5570/5370 controllers.
IMPORTANT Any user or third-party developer of communications software to a
ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller must fully follow the Logix 5000™
Data Access Programming Manual, 1756-PM020.
Beginning with Logix controller families 5380 and 5580, the full
implementation and enforcement of the CIP™ specification standard for
ANSI Extended Symbolic 0x91 is required, as documented in the above
referenced publication and the ODVA CIP specification.
Any custom or 3rd party communications software, which previously only
supported ANSI Extended Symbolic 0x61, will need to be updated to
communicate to these new controllers.
Previous Logix controller families CompactLogix L1, L2, L3, 5370 and
ControlLogix 5550, 5560, 5570 continue to support both the 0x91 CIP
Standard and the older, no longer in use, 0x61.
