Expanding on the scalability of the Logix family of controllers, the CompactLogix 5370 L1 programmable automation controllers (PAC) are designed to meet the growing need for a higher performance controller in a compact and affordable package. Offering a reduction in required panel space, the L1 controllers truly enable you to build a high performance, more cost-eff ective machine.
As part of the Integrated Architecture system, the CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers use the same programming software, network protocol and information capabilities as all Logix controllers, providing a common development environment for all control disciplines. Consistent tools and features allow users to lower the cost engineering investment, ease diagnostics and troubleshooting, and speed time to market.
Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
The CompactLogix 5370 L1 controller meets the needs of customers looking for performance and cost competitive motion solutions.
• Supports up to 2 axes of integrated motion
• Together with the Kinetix 350, offers cost-eff ective, scalable motion solution
Network Capabilities
With dual Ethernet ports and an integrated Ethernet switch, these controllers now support Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies, simplifying integration of components in your control system and reducing system cost.
Deploying as a DLR provides resiliency from loss of one network connection and allows replacement of devices one at a time without stopping production. A daisy chain connection reduces the number of Ethernet switches in the control system.
• Ideal for applications that require low axis motion and I/O point counts
• Support for Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
• Support for Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies
• Built-in energy storage eliminates the need for lithium batteries
• Support for a wide variety of granular POINT I/O modules
• Removable 1GB secure digital (SD) card for fast program save and restore
• Smaller form factor conserves space in control cabinet
• Support for 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
• Support for event task on embedded I/O for applications such as packaging and handling
