C. MicroLogix Control Systems
1. MicroLogix 1000 Controllers: Discontinued and no longer available for sale
2. MicroLogix 1100 Controllers: The built-in LCD panel shows controller status, I/O  status, and simple operator messages. With 2 analog inputs, 10 digital inputs and 6  digital versions. You can expand the I/O count using rackless I/O modules .
3. MicroLogix 1400 Controllers:
MicroLogix 1400 Controllers
Controllers without embedded analog I/O points provide 32 digital I/O points, while analog versions offer 32 digital I/O points and 6  analog I/O points. You can expand all versions with up to seven 1762 expansion I/O modules.
4. MicroLogix 1500 Controllers: Controller Systems will be discontinued and no longer available for sale outputs, the MicroLogix 1100 controller can handle a wide variety of tasks.
5. MicroLogix 1200 Controllers: The controller is available in 24-point and 40-point
D. ControlLogix Control Systems
The ControlLogix family was introduced in 1997. This platform was racked-based having much faster scan times (speed) and memory than the PLC-5 or SLC products. Communication modules supported Ethernet, DeviceNet, DH485, and ControlNet.
Servo motor control cards using SERCOS fiber-optics provided competitiveness in the coordinated system servo market.
E. CompactLogix Control Systems
The CompactLogix family was released in 2008 as a lower-cost solution to ControlLogix for competitive reasons.
And like the MicroLogix, the products do not use a rack-based solution but instead, use add-on modules to the ends of the power supply or CPU modules.
