Understanding SoftLogix controllers

There are three Bulletin 1789 SoftLogix controllers—1789-L10, 1789-L30, and 1789-L60. They are all fully integrated into the Logix platform. SoftLogix controllers can be incorporated into any Logix control system solution. They are also capable of running the Logic programs designed for standalone Logix controllers on a Windows-based PC. When running a SoftLogix controller on a PC, up to 32 configurable tasks can be run simultaneously. Communication modules can be added to PCs using the PCI cards available from Rockwell Automation.

The following table details the three SoftLogix controllers and their distinguishing features:
