Small Control Systems

The perfect solution for your mid-range applications, our small controllers offer the features and flexibility you need without the overhead of larger systems. Choose from standard and safety-certified controllers in chassis-based, packaged and modular designs. Typical applications include complex machine control, batch processing and building automation.
Compact GuardLogix Safety Controllers
Our Bulletin 1768 Compact GuardLogix® Safety Controllers is a CompactLogix™ controller that also provides safety control. As part of the Logix family, Compact GuardLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance multi-discipline control for SIL 3 safety applications. GuardLogix Safety PACs offer integrated safety, discrete, motion, drive and process control, as well as seamless connectivity to plant-wide information systems, all in the same controller. Use EtherNet/IP™ or ControlNet™ networks for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers. Connect field devices over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet™ networks.

Features
  • High functionality in an economical platform
  • Provides system-wide integration of standard and safety control
  • Compatible with ArmorBlock® Guard I/O" or CompactBlock" Guard I/O modules for field device connectivity on EtherNet/IP" or DeviceNet" networks
  • Supports safety interlocking between GuardLogix® controllers over EtherNet/IP or ControlNet" networks
  • Integrated safety and motion capabilities in a single controller
CompactLogix Control Systems
Our CompactLogix™ and Compact GuardLogix® controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide mid-range application control in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. This commonality provides cost-effective integration of a machine or safety application into a plant-wide control system because it integrates safety, motion, discrete and drive capabilities in a single controller.

Features
  • High functionality in an economical platform
  • DIN rail or panel mount for flexible installation
  • Packaged controllers offer embedded I/O to lower costs and simplify configuration
  • Analog, digital and specialty modules cover a wide range of applications
  • Advanced system connectivity to EtherNet/IP" networks for CompactLogix" 5370 platforms
  • Full support for standard EtherNet/IP networks and limited support for ControlNet" and DeviceNet" networks across all CompactLogix platforms
  • Integrated safety and motion capabilities in a single controller
