Chapter 4 ControlLogix System and Controllers
Design a ControlLogix System
When you design a ControlLogix system, there are several system components to
consider for your application. Some of these components include all of the
following:
• I/O devices
• Motion control and drive requirements
• Communication modules
• Controllers
• Chassis
• Power supplies
• Software
For more information about designing and selecting components for your
ControlLogix system, see the ControlLogix Selection Guide, publication
1756-SG001.
In addition, if you are designing your ControlLogix System for any of the specific
applications listed in this table, see the appropriate resources for more
information.
