Midrange control solutions offer new performance and functionality at the right price

We have significantly expanded our Integrated Architecture portfolio for smaller applications, with a series of scalable Allen-Bradley CompactLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs), compact Kinetix servo drives, scalable I/O and versatile PanelView Plus 6 visualisation and software tools.

With high-performance features such as increased processor power, integrated CIP motion over EtherNet/IP, integrated safety, EtherNet/IP connectivity and re-usable development tools, we now give users the ability to standardise on a cost sensitive and scalable single control platform.

By leveraging the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture in smaller applications, titled ‘Midrange control solutions’, machine builders can reduce the costs and complexities of their machines while providing a more competitive and scalable offering. End users, meanwhile, can standardise on one common technology.
