ControlLogix - v24.052 Redundancy Available

ControlLogix – v24.052 Redundancy Available

Early last week while consulting for a client over WebEx, I came across the fact that last month Rockwell had released redundancy firmware version 24.052 for the ControlLogix L74. If you’re familiar with Rockwell and ControlLogix, then you probably know the .5 versions of firmware represent “redundancy” versions, with 24.052 being the first redundancy release supporting ...

ControlLogix - Should Controllers Come With Ethernet On-board?

ControlLogix – Should Controllers Come With Ethernet On-board?

In Monday’s article here we discussed what appeared to be the premature outing of a new ControlLogix 1756-L85E processor with built-in 1GB Ethernet port. That news brought up the question, do ControlLogix users want processors with built-in Ethernet? At first glace, the obvious answer would be a resounding “YES!” But, could there be any downsides to having your Ethernet ...

Earlier this month the widely used ControlLogix Ethernet module, part number 1756-ENBT, had it’s status updated to “end of life” on Rockwell’s Product Lifecycle Status page. The product is now listed as going out of production in roughly 18 months, on December 31st, 2016. The seemingly logical choice to replace the 1756-ENBT would be the newer and more capable 1756-EN2T. Compared ...
