The Allen-Bradley MicroLogix PLC is part of the larger ControlLogix framework, a scalable and modular control system designed to meet the needs of a wide range of industrial automation applications. When using ControlLogix for all your controllers, the MicroLogix PLC can provide even greater flexibility and functionality to your automation system.
One of the benefits of ControlLogix is its ability to integrate multiple controllers and devices into a single, cohesive system. PLCs can be used with other controllers and devices within this ecosystem, creating complex, multi-layered control systems that can efficiently and effectively manage various processes.
Another advantage of ControlLogix is its use of a common programming environment, simplifying programming and configuration across different controllers and devices. This makes developing and managing programs across multiple devices easy, reducing the time and effort required to deploy new automation processes.
ControlLogix provides a high level of scalability, allowing you to expand your system as your application requirements change quickly. This means you can start with a MicroLogix PLC and add other controllers and devices to your system without completely overhauling your existing infrastructure.
By leveraging the benefits of this modular and scalable system, you can create a highly efficient and effective automation solution that meets the unique needs of your industrial application.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about MicroLogix controllers, don't worry. It's natural to want to know more about any product or component you buy. To help address some of the most common concerns we receive, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about PLCs and our processes.
All products under 20 lbs. qualify for free shipping. That includes PLCs like the MicroLogix 1400. Other shipping options, such as overnight and expedited shipping, may be selected depending on location and availability. Contact us at 1-877-PARTS-57 (1-877-727-8757) for further details.
PLCs control and monitor various automated processes and tasks, including controlling machines and industrial equipment, monitoring production processes, and collecting data for analysis. Programmable logic controllers are frequently used in automated manufacturing, process control, building automation, and transportation.
MicroLogix PLCs use RSLogix 5000, the same programming software as other Allen-Bradley controllers, for easy integration. RSLogix 5000 supports multiple programming languages, including Ladder Logic, Structural Text, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, and Instruction List.
Ladder Logic is the most commonly used programming language for ControlLogix controllers due to its intuitive interface and ease of use. It is also the industry's most widely used programming language, so finding support and resources to help programmers when coding is more accessible.

Comparing the MicroLogix and CompactLogix PLCs
The AB MicroLogix and CompactLogix are both families of programmable logic controllers. While they have many similarities, some key differences exist between these two families of controllers.
These PLCs are designed for small to medium-sized applications and simple control systems. They are compact in size, offer low power consumption, and are cost-effective. AB MicroLogix PLCs have a limited number of I/O modules, making them ideal for simple applications that do not require extensive I/O capabilities.
On the other hand, the CompactLogix family of PLCs is designed for medium to large applications and use in complex distributed control systems. They offer a more comprehensive range of I/O modules, communication options, and processing power, making them more capable than MicroLogix PLCs. CompactLogix controllers can also handle more complex applications and support more extensive data processing and analysis.
While MicroLogix and CompactLogix PLCs have different capabilities, they are both part of the ControlLogix ecosystem and can be used together in the same system. Both PLCs use the same software and programming tools, simplifying programming and maintenance across different controllers.
