Features and Benefits
The CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers offer scalable and affordable control solutions for a wide range of applications, from small standalone equipment to high-performance indexing tables, process skids, and packaging machinery. Key features include:
- Support for Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
- Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies
- Built-in energy storage, eliminating the need for lithium batteries
- Compatibility with existing 1769 I/O
- Removable 1GB secure digital (SD) card for enhanced data integrity
- Flexible memory options up to 3MB
- Specialized features for hazardous environments (NSE version)
- Kinematics support, reducing the need for additional robot controllers
- Open socket capability for Modbus TCP and other devices like printers and barcode readers
These controllers help reduce cost and time to market for machine builders and end users.
Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
The CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller provides a robust motion solution, supporting up to 16 axes of integrated motion. When paired with the Kinetix 350, it offers a cost-effective and scalable motion control system.
Network Capabilities
Featuring dual Ethernet ports and an integrated Ethernet switch, these controllers support Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies. This simplifies integration, reduces system costs, and enhances network resilience by allowing for device replacement without production downtime.
Features for Hazardous Environments
The No Stored Energy (NSE) version is designed for hazardous environments common in industries like mining and oil and gas. It allows for safe transport and features minimal residual energy storage, preventing arc or spark in gaseous conditions.
Product Specifications Overview
The CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers are available in various models (e.g., 1769-L30ER, 1769-L33ERM, 1769-L36ERM) offering different memory capacities, motion axis support, and certifications, including Class I Division 2 and ATEX compliance.
