Hello and welcome to another free video from RealPars, the world's largest online learning platform for cutting-edge industrial technologies.
In today’s video, I will explain the main types of Allen Bradley PLC that are available to use in your applications.
When starting a new project or choosing a platform to learn PLC programming with, it can be a lot of work to know what type of PLC to select.
There are many different manufacturers to choose from and each manufacturer sells different families of PLCs to serve different markets and applications.
To make PLC selection easier for you, this video will provide an overview of the different PLC families sold by Rockwell Automation under the Allen Bradley brand.
Let’s start by talking about Allen Bradley Micro800 PLCs.
The Micro800 PLC family is Allen-Bradley’s entry-level range of PLCs.
These are low-cost PLCs that are mostly used for small, standalone machines. Micro800 PLCs have limited functionality to meet the needs of simple applications.
Micro800 PLCs can be extended with plug-in modules that add extra IO, communication options, or functionality to a controller.
Since Micro800 hardware is very affordable and the programming software, Connected Components Workbench, is available to download and use for free, Micro800 PLCs are great to learn PLC programming with.
CompactLogix PLCs are Allen Bradley’s mid-range PLC system.
In general, CompactLogix PLCs have higher performance than Micro800 PLCs. Not only do they tend to have faster scan times and more configuration options, but CompactLogix PLCs can control more devices making it easier to control complex machines and small processes.
For applications that require high I/O counts, motion control, many variable frequency drives, or integrated safety, you should consider using a CompactLogix PLC.
ControlLogix PLCs are Allen-Bradley’s flagship range of PLCs.
In general, ControlLogix PLCs are the most advanced and powerful Allen-Bradley PLCs available to buy. These PLCs are typically used to control full production or packaging lines and large processes.
ControlLogix PLCs generally have lower scan times, support for higher IO counts, and the ability to integrate more devices.
They also support advanced functionality that is not available in Micro800 and CompactLogix PLCs such as redundancy, where a process can continue running even if one device faults, and more communication options such as HART, which is a communication protocol commonly used in the process industry.
ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLCs are both programmed using Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
Unlike Connected Components Workbench, Studio 5000 Logix Designer is not free.
But like with many things in life, you get what you pay for and Studio 5000 Logix Designer is packed with advanced features that are not included with Connected Components Workbench to help you be a more productive programmer.
