Major Allen-Bradley PLC Families

  1. MicroLogix Series (Compact / Small applications)

    • Cost-effective, small size.

    • Suitable for packaging machines, small automation tasks.

    • Example: MicroLogix 1000, 1100, 1200, 1400, 1500.

  2. CompactLogix Series (Medium applications)

    • Modular design, scalable.

    • Integrated motion and networking.

    • Often used in manufacturing, material handling, mid-sized process control.

  3. ControlLogix Series (Large applications – Flagship PLC)

    • High-end PLC, modular with multi-CPU support.

    • Very fast scan time, redundancy, and high data handling.

    • Used in oil & gas, power plants, automotive, and large factories.

  4. Micro800 Series (Latest small PLCs)

    • Designed as an alternative to MicroLogix.

    • Programmable with Connected Components Workbench (CCW).
