In-Rack Industrial PC for ControlLogix
PC56
The PC56 is an industrial in-rack PC for the ControlLogix platform. Driven by a powerful 500MHz AMD processor, the module serves as a powerful platform for those applications requiring or benefiting from custom development. A direct connection to the ControlLogix backplane gives the PC56 read and write connectivity to the CLX 55XX processor data tables. This direct connection between the CLX data tables and the PC56's ability to support Serial, Ethernet, ControlNet and DeviceNet serial and Ethernet communications makes the PC56 an ideal solution for today's analytical and data centric applications. The PC56 is a high-performance tool capable of supporting those needing to meet today's IT and e-commerce requirements, or simply those that need a powerful processing engine to augment their ControlLogix solution.
