Automation – Programmable Logic Controllers / Operator Interface

Allen Bradley invented the PLC over thirty years ago because they understood the challenges that Original Equipment Manufacturers and Maintenance and Repair Operations dealt with every day.

The PLC began as a control solution that assisted in lowering costs, improving throughput, and increasing flexibility. Today, Allen Bradley not only manufacturers the PLC, but they also developed an integrated array of products that will help you from initial set-up to continued maintenance.

1734 Point I-O

POINT I/O is a family of modular I/O products ideal for applications requiring flexibility and low cost of ownership. With one to eight channel density modules, including a self-configuring discrete module, the modularity of POINT I/O minimizes system costs and size. The ability to mix standard and safe I/O provides even greater flexibility and opportunities for standardization, regardless of application requirements. Since it can be used in local and remote I/O, POINT I/O further reduces engineering costs in design, installation and application development. As part of the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture, POINT I/O provides comprehensive channel-level diagnostics (wire off and short circuit), and configurable features, such as user-set filters and alarms, making it easy to use in your application. POINT I/O is the only IP20-rated modular I/O solution compliant with ODVA requirements for linear, star, and ring EtherNet/IP architectures. This provides you with greater system reliability and availability, maximizing your uptime and system performance.

ArmorBlock I-O

The ArmorBlock I/O family provides a low-cost, hardened, digital I/O product suitable for On-Machine use. Water- and corrosion-proof, it can mount anywhere on a machine (without a control cabinet) allowing OEMs and end users to reduce installation and operating costs. In addition, ArmorBlock I/O can mount close to sensors and actuators offering shorter cable runs and reduced wiring costs. ArmorBlock I/O is available in eight- and sixteen-point self configuring versions for any mix of input and output, such as seven inputs and one output, or eleven inputs and five outputs.

ArmorPoint I-O

ArmorPOINT is a modular On-Machine I/O system that saves valuable real estate. Based on the POINT I/O system - an established IP20 I/O system from Rockwell Automation - it reuses the circuitry of the adapter and I/O designs, and the methodology, to leverage your previous knowledge of POINT I/O and reduce training costs. ArmorPOINT features enhanced environmental characteristics, modular designs, and plug and play electronic capabilities to provide you with faster installation, simpler control and reduced errors. The system is IP65/67/69K* compliant and adheres to other certifications to provide a complete On-Machine solution. In addition, its quick disconnect features help eliminate wiring errors, minimize troubleshooting and help boost your plant's productivity.
