Our Large Control Systems fit your most demanding application needs. They offer modular architectures and a range of I/O and network options. These powerful control solutions deliver world-class capabilities for all disciplines, from process to safety to motion. Designed for distributed or supervisory control applications, our large programmable automation controllers (PACs) and programmable logic controllers (PLC) provide exceptional reliability and performance.

The perfect solution for your mid-range applications, our small controllers offer the features and flexibility you need without the overhead of larger systems. Choose from standard and safety certified controllers in chassis-based, packaged and modular designs. Typical applications include complex machine control, batch processing and building automation.

Our micro and nano PLCs provide economical solutions to basic control needs for your simple machines ranging from relay replacement to simple control timing and logic. Compact packaging, integrated I/O and communication, and ease of use make these controllers an ideal choice for applications such as conveyor automation, security systems, and building and parking lot lighting.

Our Safety PLC systems bring the benefits of traditional PLC systems to complex safety applications, replacing the hard-wired relay systems normally required to bring automated processes to a safe state. Safety PLCs allow standard and safety-related programs to reside in a single controller chassis, providing flexibility in programming  as well as a familiar and easy-to-use environment for programmers. Our safety controller solutions provide open and integrated control that will help to ensure machine safety and protect your current control investments.

The 1756 GuardLogix® controller is a ControlLogix® controller that also provides safety control. As part of the Logix family, GuardLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance multi-discipline control for SIL 3 safety applications. GuardLogix Safety PACs offer integrated safety, discrete, motion, drive and process control, as well as seamless connectivity to plant-wide information systems, all in the same controller. Use EtherNet/IP™ or ControlNet™ networks for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers. Connect field devices over EtherNet/IP or DeviceNet™ networks.

Our Control Logix® controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. You can perform standard and safety control in the same chassis for a truly integrated system.

Bulletin 1785 PLC-5® programmable logic controllers (PLCs) offer flexibility in programming, network, and I/O. Designed for larger sequential and regulatory control applications with specialized I/O requirements, PLC-5 control systems bring together existing and new systems through networks such as EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet™, and DeviceNet™.  Embedded network ports in PLC-5 controllers enable connectivity to a wide range of devices including MicroLogix™, SLC™ 500, CompactLogix™, and ControlLogix® controllers, letting you expand your control system without additional training investments.

Our CompactLogix™ and Compact GuardLogix® controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide mid-range application control in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. This commonality provides cost-effective integration of a machine or safety application into a plant-wide control system because it integrates safety, motion, discrete and drive capabilities in a single controller.

Bulletin 1747 SLC™ 500 PLC is a chassis-based, modular family of controllers and I/O. With multiple processor choices, numerous power supply options and extensive I/O capacity, the SLC 500 family provides a powerful solution for mid-range stand-alone or distributed industrial control. As one of the first full-featured small controllers on the market, it remains the gold standard in logic controllers more than a decade after its introduction.

For a proven, small programmable logic controller solution, look to our MicroLogix™ family. The MicroLogix 1000 controller offers control capabilities in an affordable, compact package. The MicroLogix 1200 provides features and options to handle extensive range of applications. The expandable MicroLogix 1500 controller helps you achieve high-level control in a variety of applications. The MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 controllers increase the application coverage with enhanced network communications at an affordable price.

Process Instrumentation Networks provide communication between process instruments and the process control system. We offer integrated PlantPAx™ Process Automation System support for instruments on HART and the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus. Our Encompass™ Partners provide expanded support for Profibus PA, as well as Modbus and other networks. Endress+Hauser and other partners now offer process instruments that connect to EtherNet/IP™ networks to support this growing trend.

We offer a range of Gateway and Linking Devices to connect one network technology to another. Additional linking devices are available through our Encompass™ Partners.

Our Graphic Terminals offer rugged electronic interface solutions in a variety of sizes, operator input methods, memory options and configurations. These robust devices are fully packaged (hardware, software and communications) and tested for human-machine interface operation. They have earned ratings for high shock, vibration, and temperature. Access your application information over a variety of communication protocols including DeviceNet™, ControlNet™ and EtherNet/IP™.

Message Displays help you convey information and alarms plant-wide. You can communicate to all major industrial networks, make integration easy, and display your message to large groups of employees. Our different models display from one to five lines of text with varying heights, colors, and visibility distances. Our messaging software generates and manages messages.

Chassis-based I/O is specifically designed for a particular Allen-Bradley® controller, as part of its family. You can install the I/O locally in the same chassis as the controller. Additionally, through the use of I/O communication networks, you can distribute the I/O closer to the sensors and actuators, reducing your wiring costs.

In-Cabinet (IP20) distributed I/O can be placed throughout your application and requires an enclosure. Our In-Cabinet Modular I/O products let you select the exact mix of I/O interfaces and communication adapters to fit your needs, providing greater flexibility in designing your system. In addition to a wide range of analog, digital, and specialty modules, we provide in-cabinet I/O options for extreme environments, I/O for safety systems, and intrinsic safety (IS) I/O that can be distributed throughout hazardous areas.

On-Machine (IP67/69K ) distributed I/O can be mounted directly on a machine rather than in a remote, central cabinet, reducing wiring costs and allowing for easier maintenance. Our On-Machine Modular I/O solutions let you select the exact mix of I/O interfaces and communication adapters to fit your needs, providing greater flexibility in designing your system.

In-Cabinet (IP20) distributed I/O can be placed throughout your application and requires an enclosure.
