4. MicroLogix 1500 Controllers: Controller Systems will be discontinued and no longer available for sale outputs, the MicroLogix 1100 controller can handle a wide variety of tasks.
5. MicroLogix 1200 Controllers: The controller is available in 24-point and 40-point
D. ControlLogix Control Systems
The ControlLogix family was introduced in 1997. This platform was racked-based having much faster scan times (speed) and memory than the PLC-5 or SLC products. Communication modules supported Ethernet, DeviceNet, DH485, and ControlNet.
Servo motor control cards using SERCOS fiber-optics provided competitiveness in the coordinated system servo market.
E. CompactLogix Control Systems
The CompactLogix family was released in 2008 as a lower-cost solution to ControlLogix for competitive reasons.
And like the MicroLogix, the products do not use a rack-based solution but instead, use add-on modules to the ends of the power supply or CPU modules.
