A new module combines an Allen-Bradley 1756-L6x family ControlLogix controller with a SERCOS interface(tm) motion module. It provides control for three axes of ControlLogix integrated motion. Users can add a second motion interface module in the ControlLogix rack for a total of six axes. The module uses RSLogix(tm) 5000 v.13 programming software for configuration and, with 38 different motion instructions included as part of the controller instruction set, the module provides the functionality to address a range of applications. It supports ladder, function block, sequential function chart and structured text programming languages. The unit also supports CompactFlash memory to provide removable, nonvolatile storage for user programs, tag data, and the controller and SERCOS interface firmware.
