1789 SoftLogix Contoller is part of SoftLogix Control Systems products from Rockwell Automation and Allen Bradley enfold the general function of dedicated programmable controllers in the software and can be run on a commercial operating system. The 1789 SoftLogix was developed based on the Logix platform in integrate machine control, motion control and information processing. One of the benefits is you can prioritize 32 configurable tasks using the multi-tasking operating system.
1789 Soflogix Controllers can run on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 OS by fulfilling the current more modern of the vast industrial needs. It works with the same Studio 5000 environment. It means the controllers use Studio 5000 Logix Designer software to program the SoftLogix system. 1789 series also includes platform independence for industrial computer, white box and other platform. The controller provides connection to open networks like DeviceNet, ControlNet and EtherNet/IP.
If users familiar with further customization, they still can do make over to the data access of virtual backplane for integration to the third party networks or special modules. The I/O interfaces also supported. The controllers also provide the ability to develop C programs.
There are three models of 1789 Softlogix Controllers: 1789-L60, 1789-L30 and 1789-L10. Each features different amount of controller, memory size, and functions. For the detail to the each features read the following description:
