Description
Product Name: 1746sc-CTR8 Allen Braley Controller module
Product details:
Allen-Bradley (a brand under Rockwell Automation) is a global leader in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). Below is a detailed overview of their controller products.
1. Product Range Overview
Allen-Bradley offers a tiered portfolio ranging from simple micro-controllers to high-performance enterprise systems:
-
Large Control Systems (ControlLogix®): The flagship series for large-scale, complex applications requiring high-speed processing and high I/O counts.
-
Small Control Systems (CompactLogix™): A mid-range, modular solution that offers the performance of Logix in a smaller, more cost-effective footprint.
-
Micro Control Systems (Micro800® & MicroLogix™): Designed for standalone machines and low-cost applications.
-
Safety Controllers (GuardLogix®): Specialized controllers for integrated safety (SIL 2/SIL 3) and standard control in a single unit.
2. Key Product Parameters
Parameters vary by series, but typically include:
| Parameter | Micro800 Series | CompactLogix 5380/5480 | ControlLogix 5580 |
| User Memory | Up to 192 KB | Up to 40 MB | Up to 40 MB |
| I/O Capacity | Up to 132 points | Up to 31 local modules | Up to 128,000 points |
| Communication | USB, Serial, Ethernet/IP | Dual 1Gb Ethernet/IP | EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet |
| Motion Control | 2-4 axes (Pulse/PTO) | Up to 150 axes (Integrated) | Up to 256 axes (Integrated) |
| Software | Connected Components Workbench | Studio 5000 Logix Designer | Studio 5000 Logix Designer |
3. Product Advantages
-
Scalability: The “Logix” engine allows code to be easily moved between CompactLogix and ControlLogix, reducing engineering time.
-
Integrated Architecture: Seamlessly connects with HMI (PanelView), Drives (PowerFlex), and I/O modules within a single software environment.
-
Robustness: Built for harsh industrial environments, featuring high vibration resistance and extended temperature ratings (XT models).
-
Cybersecurity: Modern series (like the 5580) include built-in security features like digitally signed firmware and role-based access control.
-
Community & Support: Massive global ecosystem of certified system integrators and documentation.
4. Considerations & Precautions
-
Power Supply: Ensure the power supply capacity matches the total consumption of the CPU and I/O modules to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
-
Firmware Compatibility: Always check that your software version (Studio 5000) matches the firmware revision of the hardware.
-
Environmental Protection: While robust, controllers should be installed in a NEMA or IP-rated enclosure to protect against dust and moisture.
-
Grounding: Proper chassis grounding is critical to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting analog signals.
-
Safety Codes: Installation must be performed by trained personnel following local electrical codes (e.g., NEC, IEC).
5. Product Applications
Allen-Bradley controllers are used across nearly every industrial sector:
-
Automotive: Assembly line synchronization, robotic cell control, and powertrain manufacturing.
-
Food & Beverage: High-speed packaging, bottling lines, and batch processing (using FactoryTalk® Batch).
-
Oil & Gas: Pipeline monitoring, safety instrumented systems (SIS), and remote terminal unit (RTU) functions.
-
Water/Wastewater: Pump station control, chemical dosing, and filtration management.
-
Material Handling: Conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS).
