Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5380 controllers

Compare exact 5069 controller catalog numbers by user memory, local I/O capacity, EtherNet/IP node count and integrated-motion capability.

How to select a CompactLogix 5380 controller

Match the controller capacity, network scale, I/O architecture and motion requirement to the exact 5069 catalog number.

A shared CompactLogix 5380 enclosure does not make catalog numbers interchangeable. Confirm memory, I/O, network, motion, firmware and the complete MPN.

  1. 01

    Size memory and application capacity

    Choose sufficient user memory for the control program, tags, communications and future expansion.

    • User memory
    • Application complexity
    • Expansion margin
  2. 02

    Confirm EtherNet/IP scale

    Each controller supports a defined maximum EtherNet/IP node count through its embedded Gigabit ports.

    • Node count
    • DLR or linear topology
    • Dual-IP architecture
  3. 03

    Plan the local I/O bank

    Check the maximum number of local Compact 5000 I/O modules and the required removable terminal kits.

    • Local I/O limit
    • Module selection
    • 5069 RTB requirements
  4. 04

    Choose standard or motion control

    ER controllers have no integrated motion-axis capacity; ERM variants add a model-specific number of motion axes.

    • ER or ERM
    • Motion axes
    • EtherNet/IP drives

Machine-control applications

Rockwell Automation positions CompactLogix 5380 controllers for applications ranging from basic plant-floor control to higher-performance I/O, communications and motion systems.

Packaging and labeling

Coordinated control for packaging, labeling, wrapping and form-fill-seal machines.

Feeders and material handling

Machine sequencing, I/O and network coordination for feeders, conveyors and handling equipment.

Connected machine architectures

Embedded EtherNet/IP communications for distributed I/O, HMI, drive and plant-network integration.

CompactLogix 5380 questions

Key points for identifying and selecting controllers in this collection.

What is included in this CompactLogix 5380 collection?

This collection covers standard Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5380 controllers. Compact GuardLogix safety controllers, CompactLogix 5480 and earlier CompactLogix generations are treated separately.

What is the practical difference between ER and ERM catalog numbers?

The ER controllers in this shortlist have no integrated motion-axis capacity, while their ERM counterparts support a model-specific number of integrated motion axes over EtherNet/IP.

Can CompactLogix 5380 controllers be exchanged based on memory alone?

No. Also compare local I/O limits, EtherNet/IP nodes, integrated motion, firmware, terminal requirements and the complete catalog number.
