Frequently Asked Questions

What programming languages do CompactLogix 5380 controllers support?

CompactLogix 5380 controllers support Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Sequential Function Chart (SFC). Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers support the same four languages for standard tasks, but the safety task supports Ladder Diagram only.

What is the minimum Studio 5000 Logix Designer version required for each controller family?

CompactLogix 5380 controllers start at version 28 or later; some catalog numbers list version 29 or 30 or later. Compact GuardLogix 5380 SIL 2 controllers require version 31 or later, and Compact GuardLogix 5380 SIL 3 controllers require version 32 or later. CompactLogix 5380 Process controllers (5069-L320ERP, 5069-L340ERP) require version 33 or later.

How many EtherNet/IP nodes can the largest CompactLogix 5380 controller support?

The 5069-L3100ERM supports a maximum of 180 EtherNet/IP nodes. Node counts range from 16 nodes on the 5069-L306ER up to 180 nodes on the 5069-L3100ERM, scaling with the controller model.

What is the difference between MOD power and SA power on these controllers?

MOD power is system-side power that powers the system and lets modules transfer data and the controller execute logic. SA power is field-side power that powers some Compact 5000 I/O modules and field-side devices. The MOD and SA power buses are isolated from each other, and Rockwell Automation recommends separate external power supplies for MOD power and SA power. Continuous current is limited to 10 A max on the MOD power bus and on each SA power bus.

Which controllers support integrated motion, and how many axes?

Only controllers with an 'M' or 'P' in the catalog number support integrated motion. Axis counts range from 2 axes (5069-L306ERM) to 32 axes (5069-L3100ERM). For example, the 5069-L340ERM and 5069-L340ERP support 20 axes, and the 5069-L350ERM supports 24 axes.

What safety integrity levels do Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers support?

Compact GuardLogix 5380 SIL 2 controllers are rated for SIL 2/PLd applications. Compact GuardLogix 5380 SIL 3 controllers are rated for SIL 3/PLe applications and use a 1oo2 architecture consisting of a primary controller with an internal safety partner. Detailed requirements are in publication 1756-RM012.

What security standard do CompactLogix 5380 and Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers meet?

The controllers support IEC-62443-4-2 SL 1 requirements. They also support CIP Security with firmware revision 34.011 or later, which provides device identity and authentication, data integrity and authentication, and data confidentiality over EtherNet/IP networks.
