Rockwell Automation ControlLogix products on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 in Richmond Heights, OH.

The Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix® 5590 controller helps deliver enhanced performance, expanded memory and connectivity for complex industrial automation environments. It is designed to help meet the demands of high-speed, data-intensive applications with improvements in processing power, memory capacity and safety, particularly for the discrete and process space.

The ControlLogix 5590 controller features up to 80 MB of user memory, supports a higher number of motion axes and delivers SIL 2/PLd functional safety across all variants. These capabilities help make it ideal for complex motion and robotics applications, as well as redundant control architectures in harsh or demanding environments.

Designed for secure, high-speed control, the controller features dual 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports with CIP Security™ and supports both EtherNet/IP and modern communication protocols such as OPC UA. This helps enable seamless, vendor-neutral data exchange across IT/OT systems and supports the simplification of integration into enterprise architectures.

The ControlLogix 5590 controller is tightly integrated with the Studio 5000® environment and the broader Logix ecosystem. It also supports FactoryTalk® Optix™ and FactoryTalk Design Studio™*, enabling modern visualization, cloud-based engineering and collaborative workflows. Premier Integration is standard across Rockwell Automation’s smart devices, streamlining commissioning, diagnostics, and lifecycle management to reduce engineering time and enhance system performance.

Whether you're deploying high-speed coordinated motion or building fault-tolerant systems for critical process operations, the ControlLogix 5590 controller provides the performance and reliability needed to scale with confidence.

Key Features:

  • Up to 80 MB user memory
  • Integrated Dual 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports with CIP Security
  • Expanded and scalable performance for motion and safety applications
  • Higher performance for high availability process systems
  • Integration with Studio 5000 and FactoryTalk platforms

*FactoryTalk Design Studio will support the ControlLogix 5590 Standard and XT (corrosion-resistant) controllers upon release of version 2.03 in November 2025. Support for the P (Process) variant will follow in a future version of FactoryTalk Design Studio.
