Industrial PC connects to ControlLogix backplane
The PC56 is an in-rack industrial PC for Allen-Bradley's ControlLogix platform.
With support for up to 150 actuators on a Limitorque redundant loop network and up to 28 actuators on a single multidrop network, the MVI56-LTQ is the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective option for integrating Limitorque valve control into a ControlLogix network.
The LTQ module installs in any slot in a local or extended rack.
The module's capabilities are enabled and controlled with simple ladder logic and data table initialisation.
Once the LTQ module has been set up for operation, all active valve actuators will automatically be polled for status data.
As the LTQ module is integrated directly into the ControlLogix rack, it forms a tightly integrated and practical solution.
