Rockwell Automation has unveiled its next-generation industrial automation controller. The company announced the release of the CompactLogix 5390 controller on the 14th, saying it is a product that expands the Integrated Architecture controller portfolio. Rockwell Automation said it aims to target the integrated control market through the launch.
The CompactLogix 5390 is designed to respond to increasingly complex industrial automation environments, with a focus on securing performance, security, safety, data utilization, and design flexibility. Based on the Logix platform, it combines built-in cybersecurity, integrated safety functions, and improved performance in a single control platform. Rockwell Automation highlighted performance, safety, and cybersecurity as the key enhancements of the new product.
Its security features comply with the IEC 62443-4-2 standard and support responses to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The company said this helps equipment manufacturers address global security and regulatory requirements. It also said the product is expected to simplify control system design.
Compared with the previous-generation CompactLogix 5380 controller, the new product reduces installation area by 43% and is configured to improve both space utilization and design efficiency by supporting PointMax I/O as local I/O. The company said this enables a modular control architecture, allows efficient use of panel space, standardizes designs across multiple equipment product lines, and improves management efficiency for complex automation applications.
Senior product manager Siwa Iyampperumal at Rockwell Automation said manufacturing companies and OEMs need to achieve high performance while managing increasingly connected and scalable operating environments and responding to strengthening cybersecurity and safety requirements. He said the CompactLogix 5390 controller integrates those capabilities into a single platform, helping customers simplify equipment design, address regulatory requirements, and flexibly scale advanced automation applications.
The new product works with Rockwell Automation's Integrated Architecture ecosystem and supports PointMax I/O, Kinetix motion solutions, PowerFlex drives, Stratix networking technology, FactoryTalk Design Studio software, and a range of visualization solutions. This connects control, input/output (I/O), visualization, motion, safety, and information technology (IT) in a single architecture.
With this configuration, it is possible to create an integrated automation environment spanning from machine building to production system deployment. Rockwell Automation said this integrated approach is expected to help simplify engineering workflows and reduce risks in the commissioning process. It also said the product is notable for providing a control foundation that can scale step by step from standalone equipment to complex production systems.
