Notes on the Compatibility Chart
- Modbus TCP support on all Ethernet-equipped controllers requires ladder logic implementation (not native protocol)
- All ControlLogix 5580 (1756-L8xE) have built-in Ethernet ports
- ControlLogix 5570/5560 (1756-L6x, L7x) require Ethernet communication modules
- CompactLogix 5380 has the fastest Ethernet (1 Gbps dual port)
- Letters in model numbers: E = Ethernet, R = Safety-rated, M = Motion, XT = Extreme temperature
- This table covers the main production models - there are also safety variants (GuardLogix) with similar communication capabilities
