Rockwell Releases New Controller

In mid-February, Rockwell Rockwell Automation announced its new Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 1768-L43 controller, which achieves a perfect balance of high performance and low price. The CompactLogix 1768-L43 can achieve up to 4-axis motion control, ideal for material handling, stacking, packaging, metal shaping, and other demanding speeds, synchronized motion, and information-sharing control systems—and at the same time, small The advantage of modularization.

As a complement to Rockwell Rocket Automation Kinetix Integrated Motion Control, this new controller combines motion and sequence control on a single, multitasking platform to help users reduce system costs, ease installation, and easy maintenance .

Rock Lane Rockwell Automation Logix Marketing Manager Lee Lane said: “We build on our ControlLogix capabilities, integrate motion control solutions and enable our customers to implement applications on four or fewer axes, which enables customers to obtain all Kinetix integrates the benefits of motion control while integrating cost-effective, small-footprint applications into other parts of the enterprise."

The CompactLogix 1768-L43 platform requires no battery power, reducing maintenance and support issues. In addition, the 1768-L43 platform supports removable, CompactFlash storage (cards) that can be used as a program or firmware storage area to provide users the ability to archive and load projects onto multiple controllers.

CompactLogix uses the same logic control engine, motion control, network technology, and communications services as the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and SoftLogix controllers, making it part of Rockwell Automation's complete, scalable integrated architecture. The CompactLogix 1768-L43 controller supports 38 embedded motion commands and is pre-loaded with the motion parameters available on the motion control Logix controllers available today. In addition, CompactLogix uses Rockwell Rockwell software RSLogix 5000 as programming software for user-friendly use without additional training.

The CompactLogix 1768-L43 controller, 1768-M04SE motion module, and 1768-ENBT EtherNet/IP module have been available since March, and the 1768-CNB ControlNet module is scheduled for August this year. (Finish)
