Controllers

ControlLogix Controllers Overview

The ControlLogix controller provides a scalable controller solution that is capable of addressing a large amount of
I/O points.
The controller can be placed into any slot of a ControlLogix I/O chassis and multiple controllers can be installed in
the same chassis. Multiple controllers in the same chassis communicate with each other over the backplane (just as
controllers can communicate over networks) but operate independently.
ControlLogix controllers can monitor and control I/O across the ControlLogix backplane, as well as over I/O links.
ControlLogix controllers can communicate over EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH+, Universal Remote I/O,
and RS-232-C (DF1/DH-485 protocol) networks and many third party process and device networks. To provide
communication for a ControlLogix controller, install the appropriate communication interface module into the
chassis.
Available controllers include: ControlLogix controllers, GuardLogix safety controllers, and ControlLogix -XT extreme environment controllers.

ControlLogix-XT Controllers
ControlLogix-XT controllers function in the same way as the standard ControlLogix controllers.
ControlLogix-XT products also include control and communication system components that, when
used with FLEX I/O-XT products, provide a complete control system solution that can be used in
environments where temperatures range from 20...70 C (4...158 F).
When used independently, a ControlLogix-XT system can withstand environments where the
temperature ranges from 25...70 C (13...158 F).

GuardLogix Controllers
A GuardLogix controller is a ControlLogix processor that also provides safety control. The GuardLogix
system is a dual processor solution you must use a GuardLogix L6 controller with a 1756LSP safety
partner or a GuardLogix L7 controller with a 1756-L7SP safety partner to Achieve SIL 3 and Cat. 4/PLe. A
major benefit of this system is that it is still a single project, safety and standard together. The safety
partner is a part of the system, is automatically configured, and requires no user setup.
During development, safety and standard have the same rules, multiple programmers, online editing, and
forcing are all allowed. Once the project is tested and ready for final validation, you set the Safety Task
to a SIL 3 integrity level, which is then enforced by the GuardLogix controller. When safety memory is
locked and protected, the safety logic can't be modified and all safety functions operate with SIL 3
integrity. On the standard side of the GuardLogix controller, all functions operate like a regular Logix
controller. Thus online editing, forcing, and other activities are all allowed.
With this level of integration, safety memory can be read by standard logic and external devices, like HMIs or other controllers, eliminating the need to condition safety
memory for use elsewhere. The result is easy system-wide integration and the ability to display safety status on displays or marquees. Use Guard I/O modules for field
device connectivity on Ethernet or DeviceNet networks, and for safety interlocking between GuardLogix controllers use Ethernet or ControlNet networks. Multiple
GuardLogix controllers can share safety data for zone to zone interlocking, or a single GuardLogix controller can use remote distributed safety I/O between different
cells/areas.
For additional information see Safety Programmable Controllers, GuardLogix Integrated Safety System.

Memory Cards
Memory cards offer nonvolatile memory to permanently store a user program and tag data on a controller. The ControlLogix 5570 controllers come with a 1784-SD1
Secure Digital card already installed. ControlLogix 5560 controllers support an optional CompactFlash card purchased separately. Through RSLogix 5000 software, you
can manually trigger the controller to save to or load from nonvolatile memory or configure the controller to load from nonvolatile memory on powerup.

1756 Energy Storage Modules
Instead of a battery, ControlLogix 5570 controllers ship with a 1756-ESMCAP energy storage module (ESM) already installed. The ESM eliminates the need for a battery.
Attribute 1756-ESMCAP 1756-ESMNSE 1756-ESMNRM
Description Capacitor-based Energy Storage Module Energy storage module without WallClockTime back-up power Nonremovable capacitor-based energy storage
module
Use Ships with the controller Use this ESM if your application requires that the installed ESM deplete its residual
energy to 200 Joule or less before transporting it into or out of your application.
Additionally, you can use this ESM with a 1756-L73 (8 MB) or smaller memory-sized
controller only.
Secures the controller by preventing the USB
connection and access to SD card removal. If the SD
card is installed prior to insertion of the 1756-
ESMNRM module, the SD card
remains functional, but not removable.

Replacement Batteries
Each ControlLogix 5560 controller ships with a battery. The controller can be used without a battery if you install a 1784-CF128 industrial CompactFlash card. Without a
battery, current tag data will be at the state it was when the nonvolatile memory was saved.

The 1756BATM externally mounted battery assembly is highly recommended for use with all series A 1756L6x controllers and provides longer battery life than the 1756BA1 battery. The 1756
BATM includes one 1756-BATA lithium battery assembly and a 1 m (3.28 ft) cable to connect housing to controller.
The 1756L55M22, 1756L55M23, and 1756L55M24 controllers have nonvolatile memory and can be used without a battery.
