ControlLogix 5580 controller provides up to 45% more application capacity, and includes an embedded, 1-gigabit Ethernet port to support high-performance communications, I/O and applications with up to 256 axes of motion. Product selection is easier with ControlLogix 5580 because users can select the appropriate model using the total number of Ethernet nodes required; one ControlLogix 5580 controller can support up to 300 Ethernet nodes. It also incorporates advanced security technologies and software features, such as digitally signed and encrypted firmware, change detection and audit logging. As with other Logix controllers, users can employ Rockwell Software Studio 5000 design software to configure the ControlLogix 5580.
