Rockwell Automation launches CompactLogix 5390 industrial machine controller

Rockwell Automation, the global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, has unveiled its latest innovation: the CompactLogix® 5390 controller. This newest addition to the Integrated Architecture® controller family is engineered to empower machine builders and manufacturers to optimize performance, security, safety, data, and flexibility in today's advanced automation settings.

In an era of heightened connectivity and data reliance, control systems are facing growing demands. To remain competitive, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end users must effectively manage higher capacity applications, integrated safety, cybersecurity, and operational visibility. While these requirements often introduce complexity, the CompactLogix 5390 controllers simplify the process by consolidating built-in cybersecurity, integrated safety, and enhanced performance into a single control platform.

With cybersecurity aligned to IEC 62443-4-2 and readiness for the EU Cyber Resilience Act, these controllers assist machine builders in navigating evolving global requirements while streamlining machine design. The controller's footprint is 43% smaller than its predecessor, reducing panel space requirements and promoting standardized designs across machine families.

This compact design, combined with support for local PointMax™ I/O, enables more modular architectures and helps customers manage increasingly intricate automation applications with reduced complexity.

Siva Iyyamperumal, senior product manager at Rockwell Automation, emphasizes that CompactLogix 5390 controllers bring these capabilities together in a single platform, simplifying machine design, ensuring regulatory readiness, and enabling customers to scale advanced automation applications with confidence. These controllers are seamlessly integrated within the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture ecosystem, further expanding the company's compact performance offering.

This streamlined architecture combines control, I/O, visualization, motion, safety, and information technologies to deliver high-performing, safer, more secure, and data-driven machines for OEMs, systems integrators, and end users.
