Rockwell Automation Streamlines Machine Design, Development and Deployment with Micro800 Controllers and Automation Software Enhancements
Manufacturers can commission standalone machines more efficiently with Allen‑Bradley Micro820 controller firmware revision 14, and Micro850 2080-L50E and Micro870 2080-L70E controller firmware revision 22. The latest Connected Components Workbench software version 22 is the required minimum to support the expanded controller capabilities and improvements.
These controllers now offer improved Ethernet communication from controller to human machine interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) applications that enable faster data refresh rate for better system connectivity and performance. The improvement in the Class 1 implicit messaging connection check on EtherNet/IP devices during RUN mode allows users to have better notification of a possible connection drop to important devices.
