Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the full line of CompactLogix controllers available within Rockwell Automation's Integrated Architecture system. We learned about the CompactLogix 5480 hybrid controllers and their unique position in the industrial computing marketplace. We now have an understanding of the controller solutions available within the Integrated Architecture system and are capable of making solution architecture decisions. We have also learned how to use Rockwell Automation's online resources to identify the modules that are compatible with our solution.

In the next chapter, we will introduce Rockwell Automation's SoftLogix platform, a PC-based ControlLogix controller.
