Allen-Bradley Processor Modules Overview

Allen-Bradley (A-B), part of Rockwell Automation, offers a wide range of processor modules (CPUs) that are the core of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). These modules execute control logic, manage I/O communication, and provide network connectivity. Various series and models are available to suit different performance needs and application scales, such as the CompactLogix, ControlLogix, MicroLogix, and SLC 500 series.

The following describes A-B processor modules from a general perspective. For detailed information on specific models, please refer to the corresponding product manuals.
