ControlLogix Compute Module


The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Compute module provides in-chassis, high-speed computing functionality with access to the ControlLogix processor via the backplane. Customers can now collect data at the source to make real-time decisions and increase productivity.
The module offers the flexibility to create custom applications within the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or Linux operating systems as well as using off-the-shelf applications to enhance their automation systems. The ControlLogix Compute module is one of the new device level scalable compute offerings from Rockwell Automation. Device level computers include:
  • CompactLogix 5480: A compact, powerful Logix controller with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise built-in
  • ControlLogix 1756 Compute Module: Add Windows 10 IoT Enterprise functionality to your ControlLogix controller
  • VersaView Industrial Computers: Add robust, industrial grade computing power


Features & Benefits of the new ControlLogix 1756 Compute Module include:
  • High-speed access to the ControlLogix controller over the backplane
  • Integrated DisplayPort for direct connection to a high-definition VersaView industrial monitor
  • Provides computing capability in a ControlLogix chassis

Rockwell software or third-party applications may be installed on the compute module for applications such as:
  • FactoryTalk View SE Station
  • OPC UA data access with FactoryTalk Linx
  • Data logging and processing
  • SQL Server interface (For example, manage recipe, store recipe data, store production data)
  • Machine optimization (For example, machine to machine comparisons)
  • Communication gateway to read/write to remote devices
  • Add local intelligence to stand-alone or unconnected machines
