ControlLogix 5580 System
The
ControlLogix®
system is chassis-based, which provides options for configuring various communications and I/O capabilities. The ControlLogix®
controllers support multiple programming languages that enable sequential, process, motion, and drive control. Various system configuration options are described in the following sections.
Standalone Controller and I/O
One of the simplest controller configurations is a standalone controller with I/O modules residing in one chassis.
Standalone Controller and I/O Modules
Multiple Controllers in One Chassis
You can use multiple controllers in one
ControlLogix®
chassis. This example shows the following:- ControlLogix®5580 controller (slot 0) connected directly to theEtherNet/IP™network.
- ControlLogix®5570 controller (slot 1) connected to the network through a 1756-EN2TR module (slot 7).
- GuardLogix®5580 controller in a SIL 2/PLd configuration (slot 5) connected directly to theEtherNet/IP™network.
Multiple Controllers in One Chassis
IMPORTANT:
You cannot bridge through the Ethernet (front) port of another controller to add remote I/O modules.
Multiple Devices Connected via Multiple Networks
For some applications, various devices can be connected to the
ControlLogix®
chassis via multiple communication networks. For example, a system can be connected to the following:- Distributed I/O via anEtherNet/IP™network •
- APowerFlex®drive connected via aDeviceNet®network
- Distributed I/O via aControlNet®network
- Flowmeters that are connected via a HART connection
