Rockwell Automation Launches CompactLogix 5390 Controller
A 43% reduction in physical footprint headlines Rockwell Automation’s latest hardware release, as the company introduces the CompactLogix 5390 controller to its Integrated Architecture portfolio. Designed for machine builders, the unit integrates safety and cybersecurity features directly into a single, compact platform to meet tightening global regulatory standards.
Siva Iyyamperumal, senior product manager at Rockwell Automation, noted that the platform enables customers to scale advanced operations while addressing stringent safety requirements. The controller supports modular architectures through local PointMax I/O and integrates seamlessly with the company's existing ecosystem, including Kinetix motion solutions and PowerFlex drives. This consolidation is intended to streamline engineering workflows and reduce commissioning risks for both standalone machines and complex production lines.
