Allen Bradley FlexLogix

Allen Bradley is a trademark of a Factory Automation Equipment product line produced by the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based asset management solutions provider Rockwell Automation. The company's control solutions has set the standard from Programmable Logic Controller (plc) that was fabricated almost 30 years ago to the most current technology embodied in the highly functional, scalable and rugged Programmable Automation Controller (pac). One of Rockwell Automation's important products is its Allen Bradley FlexLogix.

It was during the year 2000 when this company announces a new latch for its Allen Bradley FlexLogix control panel 800E range of pushbuttons. In March 2003, it allowed its Allen Bradley FlexLogix plc together with a PowerFlex 700S drive to utilize the Allen Bradley output module or the 1788-ENBT Ethernet/IP daughtercard to communicate peer-to-peer as well as to control input and output remotely over an Ethernet/IP network. Allen Bradley output module supports full and half duplex 10/100 mbps Ethernet. It is comprised of diagnostic pages that can be accessed using a Web browser.

Since an Allen Bradley Flexlogic controller features a Logix control engine, it is capable of supporting the Logix instruction set, data model and tasking model. An Allen Bradley Flexlogic automation controller has a universal approach to configuring and programming I/O with Allen Bradley FlexLogix software. An Allen Bradley FlexLogix processor is utilized for control and data processing. It was designed for bigger regulatory and sequential control programs with dedicated I/O requirements.

Allen Bradley FlexLogix automation controller is typically included in a drive system. Included in Rockwell Automation's pac family are the FlexLogix System, ControlLogix System, CompactLogix System, DriveLogix System and the SoftLogix5800 Controller.
