The ControlLogix controller is part of the Logix 5000™ family of controllers.

• ControlLogix controllers can monitor and control I/O across the ControlLogix backplane, and over I/O links.

ControlLogix controllers can communicate over EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, DH+™,

Remote I/O, and RS-232-C (DF1/DH-485 protocol) networks and many third-party process and device networks.

• The controller can be placed into any slot of a ControlLogix chassis and

multiple controllers can be installed in the same chassis.

Multiple controllers in the same chassis communicate with each other over

the backplane (just as controllers can communicate over networks) but operate independently.

• To provide communication for a ControlLogix 5570 controller,

install the appropriate communication interface module into the chassis.

ControlLogix 5580 controllers have a built-in EtherNet/IP port.
