Available Controllers

ControlLogix®
 and
GuardLogix®
 5580 controllers use
Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
 programming software to establish and maintain control of large industrial automation control systems (IACS).
Working as part of the Integrated Architecture offering, the controllers provide the following:
IMPORTANT:
Not all controllers support all of the functionality listed here.
  • Support for Integrated Motion over
    EtherNet/IP™
     for high-speed motion applications
  • Support for enhanced security, including IEC-62443-4-2 SL 1 certification
  • Support for safety solutions
  • Support for plantwide process control

ControlLogix-XT and GuardLogix-XT Controllers

The
ControlLogix-XT™
 and
GuardLogix-XT™
 controllers function in same way as the traditional
ControlLogix®
 and
GuardLogix®
 controllers, with an extended temperature range, and have the same features as the
ControlLogix®
 standard controllers and
GuardLogix®
 controllers.
The
ControlLogix-XT™
 and
GuardLogix-XT™
 controllers are conformal coated to add a layer of protection when exposed to harsh, corrosive environments. While the standard
ControlLogix®
 system can withstand temperatures from 0…60 °C (33…140 °F), the
ControlLogix-XT™
 system can withstand temperatures from -25…+70 °C (-13…+158 °F).

Process Controllers

The process controller is an extension of the
Logix 5000®
 controller family that focuses on plantwide process control. The process controller comes configured with a default process tasking model and dedicated
PlantPAx®
 process instructions optimized for process applications and that improve design and deployment efforts.
The
ControlLogix®
 process controller hardware is also conformal coated to add a layer of protection when exposed to harsh, corrosive environments, and can be used in temperature extremes from -25…+70 °C (-13…+158 °F) when deployed as part of a Logix-XT system.

ControlLogix No Stored Energy (NSE) Controllers

The NSE controller is intended for use in applications that require the installed controller to deplete its residual stored energy to specific levels before transporting it into or out of your application.
The residual stored energy of the NSE controller depletes to 400 µJ or less in 40 seconds.
If your application requires the NSE controller to deplete its residual stored energy to 400 µJ or less before you transport it into or out of the application, complete these steps before you remove the controller.
  1. Turn off power to the chassis.
    After you turn off power, the OK status indicator on the controller transitions from green to solid red to OFF.
  2. Wait at least 40 seconds for the residual stored energy to decrease to 400 μJ or less before you remove the controller.
    There is no visual indication of when the 40 seconds has expired. You must track that time period.
IMPORTANT:
The Real Time Clock (RTC) does not retain its time and date when power is off.
Some applications require that the installed controller to deplete its residual stored energy to specific levels before transporting it into or out of your application. This requirement can include other devices that also require a wait time before removing them. See the documentation of those products for more information.

Conformal Coated Products

ATTENTION:
Conformal Coated Products
Select products that are rated for corrosive atmospheres ship with port plugs, covers, or memory cards installed which provide connectors with a degree of protection in corrosive gas environments. Once the factory packaging seal is broken, plugs or covers must remain installed in all unoccupied ports and memory cards must remain installed for the product to maintain its corrosive atmosphere rating. If temporary access is required, port plugs, covers, memory cards, and so on can be removed, but must be reinstalled after temporary access is complete.

Controller Redundancy

You can use
ControlLogix®
 5580 controllers in redundant applications with the
Studio 5000 Logix Designer®
 application, version 33 or later.
