Allen-Bradley PLCs are industrial programmable logic controllers developed by Rockwell Automation for machine automation, process control and production monitoring. The main controller families include Micro800 for standalone machinery, CompactLogix for mid-range automation and ControlLogix for complex production systems.
Flextech Industrial Supplies supports Malaysian manufacturers and machine builders seeking Allen-Bradley PLCs for new installations, maintenance and replacement projects. These controllers integrate with compatible PanelView HMIs, PowerFlex drives and industrial I/O systems, pr
About Allen-Bradley PLC Controllers
Allen-Bradley PLCs control industrial machinery by processing sensor inputs and executing programmed logic to operate motors, valves, conveyors and automated equipment.
Developed by Rockwell Automation, these controllers are widely used in manufacturing and process automation. Micro800, CompactLogix and ControlLogix cover different application sizes, while legacy MicroLogix and SLC 500 controllers remain relevant for equipment maintenance and migration projects.
Allen-Bradley PLC Product Series
| Series | Key Features & Applications |
|---|---|
| Micro800 | Compact PLCs for standalone machines, pumps and conveyors |
| CompactLogix 5380 | High-performance machine control, EtherNet/IP and integrated motion |
| ControlLogix 5580 | Modular controller for complex production lines and process automation |
| MicroLogix 1400 | Legacy PLC platform, existing machine maintenance and replacement |
| SLC 500 / PLC-5 | Older controller platforms requiring migration planning |
Micro800 is suitable for small machine-control applications, while CompactLogix provides greater processing and motion-control capabilities. ControlLogix supports large automation systems requiring modular I/O and advanced integration.
Older MicroLogix, SLC 500 and PLC-5 installations require careful replacement planning, as programming software, I/O hardware and communication protocols differ from newer controllers.
Technical Specifications & Applications
Programming software: Connected Components Workbench for Micro800; Studio 5000 Logix Designer for CompactLogix and ControlLogix; RSLogix 500 for legacy MicroLogix and SLC 500.
Communication: EtherNet/IP, serial and other industrial networking options, depending on the controller series and communication modules.
I/O expansion: Built-in, modular and distributed I/O configurations are supported across different PLC families.
System integration: Compatible PanelView HMIs, PowerFlex inverters, Kinetix servo drives and Rockwell Automation I/O modules.
Industrial applications: Packaging machinery, electronics assembly, food processing, conveyor systems, material handling and automated production lines.
Allen-Bradley PLCs are particularly suitable for Malaysian factories operating Rockwell Automation control systems that require consistent programming, industrial networking and equipment maintenance.
Allen-Bradley PLC Price & How to Order in Malaysia
Allen-Bradley PLC prices in Malaysia vary by controller series, CPU performance, I/O configuration, communication modules and availability. Micro800 generally targets smaller machine applications, while CompactLogix and ControlLogix serve more complex automation requirements.
To request a quotation, provide Flextech with the PLC catalog number, required I/O points, power supply and communication requirements. For legacy PLC replacements, include the existing processor model, I/O module list and program backup to assess migration options.
