Rockwell Automation has expanded
its Midrange system portfolio of
scalable Allen-Bradley servo drives,
variable frequency drives, industrial
Ethernet switches, and unified engin –
eering and design to help machine
and equipment builders reduce cost
and complexity. The development will
also enable end users to standardise
on one common technology for more
efficient collaboration, streamlined
project maintenance and faster system
deployment.

“This year’s expanded Midrange
system offering helps equipment
builders and end users standardise on
a single platform and address critical
business issues, such as global
standards, scalable hardware,
collaboration and safety,” says John
Pritchard, market development
manager, Integrated Architecture,
Rockwell Automation. “Forwardlooking
OEMs and end users can now
leverage the same high-performance
equipment as larger-scale systems,
providing scalable integrated safety
and motion options for a wider range
of machines – all in the same
controller, with a smaller price point.”
