Rockwell Automation ControlLogix 5590 controller

Rockwell Automation has launched the ControlLogix 5590 controller, the core of the Logix platform. Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern manufacturing, this all-in-one controller delivers software integration and multidiscipline control across the enterprise to streamline operations.

Manufacturers are navigating a range of challenges, from rising global competition and workforce shortages to growing safety and security risks. Contributing to the complexity are disconnected control and data systems built on propriety technologies, which limit flexibility and keep costs high. The all-in-one controller is a purpose-built solution to help manufacturers tackle these challenges and take control of their operations.

The controller includes advanced, integrated functional safety capabilities designed to help protect people, equipment and operations, without the need for separate safety models. Certified to meet global standards, it helps customers build safer systems with less complexity and more confidence.

The controller is also designed to deliver high-speed processing and expanded memory capacity to support complex operations. The controller includes built-in security features designed to help protect systems from current and emerging cyber threats. These protections are based on global standards (IEC 62443) and help customers keep their operations connected and compliant with modern security requirements.

A unified software suite, including Studio 5000 Logix Designer and FactoryTalk Design Studio, helps streamline development, accelerate deployment and simplify workflows across the enterprise.
