CompactLogix

CompactLogix is a family of programmable automation controllers (PACs) developed by Rockwell Automation. These controllers are designed for small to medium-sized automation applications, offering a balance of performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. They are part of the broader Logix platform, which allows for seamless integration of control, motion, safety, and HMI applications within a single development environment, Rockwell's Studio 5000.

The CompactLogix platform provides a range of controller options with varying levels of processing power, memory, and I/O capabilities to suit different application requirements. They are known for their compact form factor, making them suitable for space-constrained applications. Common features include built-in Ethernet/IP connectivity for network communication and integration with other Rockwell Automation products and third-party devices.

CompactLogix controllers are widely used in diverse industries such as manufacturing, material handling, food and beverage, and original equipment manufacturing (OEM). Their flexibility allows them to handle tasks ranging from basic discrete control to more complex motion control and process automation. The platform's modular design enables easy expansion of I/O by adding various I/O modules as needed. Rockwell Automation provides extensive support and documentation for the CompactLogix family, further contributing to its popularity in the industrial automation market.
