Description
Product Name: 2711-PK4M3D Allen Braley Power module
Product details:
Allen-Bradley (A-B) is a flagship brand of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) manufactured by Rockwell Automation. They are widely considered the industry standard in North America and are known for their reliability and “Studio 5000” integration environment.
## 1. Product Categories (Main Series)
Allen-Bradley categorizes its PLCs based on the scale of the application:
-
Large Control Systems (ControlLogix®): Designed for high-performance, multidisciplinary control (process, motion, discrete, and safety).
-
Small Control Systems (CompactLogix™): Offers many of the same features as ControlLogix but in a smaller, more cost-effective, and rack-less form factor.
-
Micro Control Systems (Micro800®): Budget-friendly, stand-alone controllers for simple machines.
-
Legacy Systems: Includes the older SLC 500 and PLC-5 series (mostly used for maintenance and migration projects).
## 2. Technical Specifications (General Parameters)
While specific parameters vary by model, typical specifications for the modern Logix family include:
| Parameter | ControlLogix (5580) | CompactLogix (5380) | Micro800 (820/850) |
| User Memory | 3MB to 40MB | 0.6MB to 10MB | Up to 20KB |
| Digital I/O Max | 128,000 (Local/Remote) | Up to 31 Local Modules | Up to 132 points |
| Communication | Dual 1Gbps Ethernet/IP | Dual 1Gbps Ethernet/IP | Ethernet, Serial, USB |
| Motion Axes | Up to 256 axes | Up to 32 axes | Simple PTO (2-4 axes) |
| Safety | SIL 2/3, PLe | SIL 2/3, PLe | Safety Relays required |
## 3. Key Advantages
-
Integrated Architecture: One software environment (Studio 5000) handles everything—logic, safety, motion, and HMI. This significantly reduces engineering time.
-
Premier Integration with PowerFlex: A-B PLCs recognize A-B Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) automatically, making setup and diagnostics seamless.
-
Add-On Instructions (AOI): Allows developers to create custom, reusable blocks of code that can be easily shared across different projects.
-
Robust Networking: Extensive use of EtherNet/IP, which is a standard industrial protocol, allowing for easy integration with enterprise-level IT systems.
-
Scalability: You can easily migrate code from a small CompactLogix system to a large-scale ControlLogix system with minimal changes.
## 4. Important Considerations (Usage Notes)
-
Licensing Costs: The Studio 5000 software requires a paid subscription or license, which can be more expensive than competitors like Siemens or Codesys-based brands.
-
Compatibility: Ensure that the firmware of the PLC matches the version of the software on your PC. Incompatibility is a common issue for beginners.
-
Environmental Ratings: While rugged, ensure the controller is installed in an enclosure that meets NEMA or IP ratings appropriate for the dust/moisture levels of the site.
-
Battery/Energy Storage: Most modern Logix controllers use “Energy Storage Modules” (ESM) instead of batteries to maintain memory during power loss. Check the ESM status regularly.
## 5. Typical Applications
A-B PLCs are found in almost every industrial sector:
-
Automotive: Assembly lines, robotic cell coordination, and paint shops.
-
Food & Beverage: High-speed packaging, bottling lines, and batch processing.
-
Oil & Gas: Pipeline monitoring, wellhead control, and safety instrumented systems (SIS).
-
Material Handling: Complex conveyor systems and automated storage/retrieval systems (ASRS).
-
Water/Wastewater: Pump station control and chemical dosing.
