Description
Product Name: 45LMS-D8LGC2-D4 Allen Bradley Input module
Product details:
Allen-Bradley organizes its modern PLCs into several families, primarily under the Logix platform, which share an integrated development environment (Studio 5000 Logix Designer) and communication architecture (EtherNet/IP).
| Product Family | Primary Target | Typical Specifications/Details |
| ControlLogix (e.g., ControlLogix 5580) | Large-Scale, Complex, and Critical Applications | High Performance: Fastest processing speeds, largest memory capacity. I/O: Massive local and distributed I/O support. Features: Supports Controller Redundancy (for critical systems), Integrated Safety (GuardLogix), and advanced Motion Control. Architecture: Chassis-based, highly modular. |
| CompactLogix (e.g., CompactLogix 5380) | Mid-Sized Applications, Machines, and Systems | Performance: High-performance for mid-range needs. I/O: Excellent I/O capacity, often scalable. Features: Integrated Safety (GuardLogix) and high-speed Integrated Motion Control. Architecture: Compact, rack-less, or modular. |
| Micro800 (e.g., Micro820, Micro850) | Small, Standalone Machines, and Simple Control | Cost-Effective: Entry-level pricing. I/O: Embedded I/O points, expandable with plug-in modules. Features: Limited functionality compared to Logix platforms. Uses Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software (free to download). |
| MicroLogix (Legacy/Obsolete) | Small Machines | Older, compact controllers that are being phased out in favor of the Micro800 and CompactLogix. |
| SLC 500 (Legacy/Obsolete) | Mid-Range Control | Older, rack-based controllers that are being phased out in favor of the CompactLogix. |
Note: Specific technical specifications like processor speed, memory size, and I/O count vary significantly by the exact model number within each family. Always refer to the specific product data sheet.
Product Advantages (Allen-Bradley PLCs)
- High Reliability and Durability: Allen-Bradley PLCs are engineered for harsh industrial environments, offering exceptional resistance to temperature, vibration, and electrical noise.
- Scalability: The product lines allow users to easily scale control systems from small machines (Micro800) to plant-wide, mission-critical operations (ControlLogix) while maintaining a consistent programming environment (Logix platform).
- Integrated Architecture: The Logix platform provides a single control engine for standard control, safety control, and motion control, simplifying system design, programming, and maintenance.
- Common Software Platform: The use of Studio 5000 Logix Designer (for ControlLogix and CompactLogix) streamlines development across different hardware families, reducing engineering time and training costs.
- Robust Communication: Strong emphasis on the EtherNet/IP protocol, providing seamless integration with I/O devices, drives, HMIs, and plant-level IT systems.
- Extensive I/O Portfolio: Offers a vast array of digital and analog I/O modules, specialty modules, and distributed I/O systems (like POINT I/O, FLEX I/O) to meet any application need.
- Strong Support and Ecosystem: Backed by Rockwell Automation’s global support network, a large community of integrators, and comprehensive training programs.
Precautions and Considerations
- Software Licensing and Cost: The advanced Logix platforms (ControlLogix/CompactLogix) require a licensed version of the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software, which represents a significant initial investment.
- Proprietary Nature: While the communication uses standard EtherNet/IP, the overall control ecosystem and software are primarily proprietary to Rockwell Automation, which can lead to vendor lock-in.
- Migration of Legacy Systems: Users with older SLC 500 or PLC-5 systems must plan carefully for migration, as these older platforms are becoming obsolete and are not compatible with the modern Logix software.
- Environmental Shielding: While rugged, PLCs must still be installed within an appropriate control cabinet to protect against excessive dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations as per specifications.
- Firmware Management: Regularly updating firmware and managing compatibility across controllers, I/O, and software requires careful attention using tools like ControlFLASH Plus and the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC).
Product Applications
Allen-Bradley PLCs are used globally in virtually every industrial sector:
- Manufacturing and Assembly: Controlling conveyor systems, robotic cells, material handling, and quality inspection.
- Process Control: Managing batching systems, fluid handling, temperature, pressure, and flow rates in industries like Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Food & Beverage.
- Infrastructure and Utilities: Automation of water/wastewater treatment plants, power generation, and distribution systems.
- Automotive: Managing assembly lines, paint shops, and stamping presses.
- Packaging: Controlling high-speed packaging machines, labeling, and palletizing.
- Oil & Gas: Monitoring and control of pipelines, drilling equipment, and refining processes.
- Building Automation: Used in large commercial or industrial facilities for controlling HVAC, lighting, and security systems.
