Integrated Architecture in its Simplest Form
CompactLogix at the Heart of Your Machine
OEMs and end users interested in reducing cost, improving time to market and increasing productivity will benefit from the increased mid-range control system capabilities of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture. This architecture already provides seamless integration of control and information environments, providing users with the means to make faster, better decisions with more clarity. Users with less-complex applications can now take advantage of this architecture with a suite of integrated products from Rockwell Automation, including the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix™ controller family, PanelView Plus™ 400 and 600 terminals, POINT I/O™ modules, and the PowerFlex 40® drive — all connected on a single communication network such as EtherNet/IP.
Combining this range of pre-integrated products allows you to configure devices, collect data and control machines quickly, simply and cost-effectively. Designed specifically for OEMs, our CompactLogix with Integrated Architecture will dramatically reduce your time to market, allow you to re-use programming code and has built-in diagnostic and remote access capabilities — saving you both time and money.
The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture is an industrial automation infrastructure providing scaleable solutions for the full range of automation disciplines including sequential, motion, process control, drive control, safety and information. Unlike traditional architectures, Integrated Architecture reduces total cost of ownership by using a single control platform for the entire range of factory automation applications, large or small. This enables users to re-use engineering designs and practices to reduce development time and cost, respond more quickly to market demands, reduce maintenance costs and downtime and easily gain access to plant and production data from business systems for better decision-making.
