Overview

Our Bulletin 2080 Micro870® programmable logic controllers (PLC) are designed for large standalone machine control applications that require flexible communications and greater I/O capabilities. These controllers support up to 304 I/O points with high-performance I/O, interrupts, and Pulse Train Output (PTO) motion plus embedded Ethernet port and Micro800™ Expansion I/O modules.

Catalogs 2080-LC70-xxxx are discontinued and no longer available for sale as of July 31, 2023. Fast forward to the latest technology by migrating to our newer Micro870® 2080-L70E controllers and Connected Components Workbench™ software version 20.01 or later.

What’s New with Controller Firmware Revision 23: Mitigate Conversion Risk and Increase Overall Efficiency

Enable a faster, simpler MicroLogix™ to Micro800™ controller modernization with the expanded capabilities and functionalities in Micro870 2080-L70E controllers.

Key features and benefits:

Ability to retain legacy communication network and monitor controller variables changes easily through the expanded remote LCD connectivity
Familiar user experience and workflows, similar to MicroLogix 1400 controller
Compatible with Connected Components Workbench™ software version 23 as the minimum requirement
