Description
CompactLogix™ 5370 Controllers are part of the Integrated Architecture® system. These controllers include integrated safety, and use the same programming software, network protocol, and information capabilities as all Logix controllers. This provides a common development environment for all control disciplines. Consistent tools and features help users to lower engineering investment costs, ease diagnostics and troubleshooting, and speed up time to market for small to mid-size applications.
Benefits of CompactLogix 5370
The CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllerscombine the power of the Logix architecture with the flexibility of POINT I/O™ modules in a compact, affordable package.Machine builders and end users can take advantage of the benefits of an Integrated Architecture system with the following features in a lower cost system:
• Ideal for small, to mid-size applications that require low axis motion and I/O point counts
• Offers support for Integrated Motion over EtherNet/IP for
maximized scalability
• Provides support for Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies to help increase network resiliency
• Removes the need for lithium batteries with built-in energy storage
• Includes up to a 2-GB Secure Digital (SD) card for fast program save and restore
• Offers a smaller form factor for maximized cabinet space
• Supports up to 2 axes Kinematics for simple articulated robotics
• Open socket capability allows support for Modbus TCP as well as devices such as printers, barcode readers and servers
