The ControlLogix platform is a series of programmable logic controllers manufactured by Rockwell Automation.

The ControlLogix platform is a series of programmable logic controllers manufactured by Rockwell Automation. The platform's goal is to offer a central automation solution that can perform tasks such as safety, motion, batch processing and discrete manufacturing from one controller or system.

A programmable logic controller is an industrial digital computer designed for use in an industrial environment. It uses simple programming languages that are employed to control automated machinery and processes. These devices typically have input and output terminals to which switches, sensors, relays and other devices may be connected so that the device functions as part of a control system.

Third-party software firms offer applications such as web-enabled programming interfaces, data trending and analysis tools to enhance the capabilities of the ControlLogix platform.

The ControlLogix system consists of three major components: the Logix5000 controller, the Logix5000 programming software, and the Logix5000 I/O modules.
