About the FlexLogix Platform
The FlexLogix platform combines the high performance Logix control engine with the popular distributed FLEX
I/O to provide a cost-effective distributed controller. The FlexLogix system is built on these components:
§
a FlexLogix controller which supports Logix instructions
§
RSLogix 5000 programming software
§
FLEX I/O modules which provide a compact, DIN-rail mounted I/O system
§
a 1788 communication daughtercard which provides communication over a standards-based ControlNet
network
A simple FlexLogix system can consist of a single, stand-alone assembly with one controller and as many as
eight I/O modules, or you can use multiple controllers across networks and distribute multiple I/O platforms
over multiple I/O links. FlexLogix will fit your applications if:
§
you are already using FLEX I/O and are looking for a simple way to add control to your distributed
architecture
§
you are currently using a centralized control architecture to control multiple stations in a process
About the CompactLogix Platform
The features, scalability, and small size of the CompactLogix platform provide a powerful alternative for
machine-level control, material handling, data acquisition, and other applications requiring limited I/O (up to
128 points) and limited communications capability.
CompactLogix will fit your applications if:
§
you are an existing Logix customer with lower-end, lower-cost control applications
§
you are a new customer who wishes to apply Logix technology, but at a lower initial investment
§
you are an existing PLC and/or SLC customer who wishes to convert to Logix technology
§
you run SCADA/RTU applications within a range of industries (e.g., petrochemical, wastewater, etc.)
About the SoftLogix Platform
The SoftLogix platform is a PC-based control system that integrates sequential and motion control. The
SoftLogix system is built on these components:
§
the Logix control engine
§
RSLogix 5000 programming software
§
a virtual chassis application which runs on a Pentium-based computer
SoftLogix will fit your applications if:
§
you are already using PC-based control
§
you have a need for integrated motion capabilities
§
you have a need for high-level information integration
§
you want to completely customize your application
