Communicate with affordable control

Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1400 programmable logic controllers (PLCs) from Rockwell Automation aim to give greater control and communication to food and beverage manufacturers.

"Customer demand has shown the need for an affordable controller that provides a greater level of control and communication," said Seung Ju Lee, MicroLogix product manager, Rockwell Automation.

"An embedded ethernet port and two embedded serial ports with advanced communication protocols will provide a valuable solution in many applications."

The new controller is part of the existing MicroLogix family of small PLCs and improves on the existing features of the MicroLogix 1100 (Ethernet/internet protocol, online editing, and an embedded liquid crystal display) with increased input/output (I/O) count, and support for up to seven additional I/O modules for a maximum of 144 discrete I/O points
