Motion users - in industries from packaging to material handling - face increased system performance requirements, challenging engineers to integrate multiple control elements without sacrificing accuracy. New technologies meet this challenge by integrating motion and sequential control functionality into a single, multitasking controller platform.
Integrated control through a platform offers high performance, fast application, and low costs. Motion configuration and application programming resides within an integrated development environment via programming software, eliminating the need for multiple programming tools. Multitasking controller platforms, such as the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix with Logix 5550 processor from Rockwell Automation,...
