Allen-Bradley is the brand-name of Industrial Automation & Control System products today owned by Rockwell Automation. The company manufactures programmable logic controllers (PLC), human-machine interfaces, sensors, safety components and systems, software, drives and drive systems, contactors, motor control centers, and systems of such products. Some of the Allen Bradley brand we have been selling at IndAXonline ; PLC-5 System, SLC 500, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PanelView HMIs, FTView Scada Software, PowerFlex-4 & PowerFlex-4 VFDs etc.
A PLC-5 control system, at minimum, consists of a programmable controller and I/O modules in a single 1771 chassis with a power supply. You choose the controller with the on-board communication ports you need. On-board remote I/O scanner ports are available on all PLC-5 controllers. On-board extended-local I/O scanner ports are available on some PLC-5 controllers. On-board ControlNet ports are available on some PLC-5 controllers. To provide a DeviceNet I/O scanner port to the system, you must add a 1771-SDN DeviceNet Scanner Module.
SLC 500 is a small chassis-based family of programmable controllers, discrete, analog, and specialty I/O, and peripheral devices. The SLC 500 family delivers power and flexibility with a wide range of communication configurations, features, and memory options. The RSLogix 500 ladder logic programming package provides flexible editors, point-and-click I/O configuration. With up to 64 K of configurable data/program memory available and over 60 types of I/O modules, as well as a choice of networking options, the SLC system provides a powerful solution for stand-alone or distributed industrial control.
The ControlLogix system provides discrete, drives, motion, process, and safety control together with communication and state-of-the-art I/O in a small, cost-competitive package. The system is modular, so you can design, build, and modify it efficiently with significant savings in training and engineering. The ControlLogix architecture provides a wide range of input and output modules to span many applications, from highspeed digital to process control. A simple ControlLogix system consists of a standalone controller and I/O modules in one chassis. For a more comprehensive system, use the following: • Multiple controllers in one chassis • Multiple controllers joined across networks • I/O in multiple platforms that are distributed in many locations and connected over multiple I/O links.
The CompactLogix system is designed to provide a Logix solution for small and mid-size applications. Typically, these applications are machine-level control applications. A simple system can consist of a standalone controller with one bank of I/O modules and DeviceNet communication.
The CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers deliver scalable, affordable control ideal for applications from small standalone equipment to high-performance indexing tables, process skids, case packers and erectors, and packaging.
The CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers also provide a truly integrated motion solution.
The CompactLogix 5370 L2 controllers combine the power of the Logix architecture with the flexibility of Compact I/O modules. From small standalone equipment to higher performance applications, these controllers are ideal for assembly machines, hoisting systems, process skids, indexing tables, and packaging.
The CompactLogix 5370 L1 controllers combine the power of the Logix architecture with the flexibility of POINT I/O. Ideal for small to mid-size machines, these controllers offer value to customers looking for the benefits of Integrated Architecture in a lower cost system.

FactoryTalk View Site Edition (SE) is a supervisory-level HMI software for monitoring and controlling distributed-server/multi-user applications. It provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of operations, meeting the demands of multiple stakeholders including engineering, maintenance, operations, and production Information Technology (IT). FactoryTalk View SE provides robust and reliable functionality in a single software package that scales from a standalone HMI system to a distributed visualization solution.
FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition (ME) software is a versatile HMI application that provides a dedicated and powerful solution for machine-level operator interface devices. As an integral element of the Rockwell Automation visualization solution, FactoryTalk View Machine Edition provides superior graphics, runtime user management, language switching and faster commissioning time through a common development environment. FactoryTalk View Machine Edition allows for a consistent operator interface across multiple platforms, including PanelView Plus and Windows desktop solutions and consists of:
- FactoryTalk View Studio: Configuration software for developing and testing HMI applications.
- FactoryTalk View ME Station: A traditional "standalone" HMI solution that provides an integrated operator interface that runs the same HMI application on PanelView™ Plus 7, PanelView Plus 6, MobileView™ terminal, Rockwell Automation Industrial Computers, or other industrial personal computer
