About the CompactLogix 5380 Controller
The CompactLogix 5380 controllers offer high-speed backplane packet transfer, embedded dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports, and support for multiple programming languages, enabling sequential, process, motion, and drive control. These controllers are optimized for process applications and feature conformal coating for enhanced protection in harsh environments. Configuration is managed using the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application.
Key Installation Steps
Installation involves mounting the controller onto a DIN rail, connecting external power supplies (MOD power and SA power), installing I/O modules, and securing the system with an end cap. Proper wiring and power connections are crucial for safe and effective operation. The document details procedures for connecting both DC and AC power for SA power.
Network and System Configuration
The controllers support EtherNet/IP networks. Initial IP address configuration can be performed using tools like the BOOTP DHCP EtherNet/IP Commissioning Tool, Logix Designer application, or RSLinx Classic software. The guide outlines the process of connecting the controller to an EtherNet/IP network using RJ45 cables.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
Important safety warnings are provided regarding electrical arcs and hazardous locations. Users are advised to disconnect power before making or breaking connections. The document also specifies environmental requirements, including operating temperature ranges and enclosure guidelines, to ensure safe and reliable performance. Static discharge prevention measures are also detailed.
