Which PLCs are smaller versions of Control Logix PLCs that are also programmed with the Studio 5000 software?

CompactLogix PLCs are indeed smaller versions of ControlLogix PLCs and can be programmed using the Studio 5000 software. This programming environment allows for streamlined development and management of automation systems, offering consistent programming practices across different Allen-Bradley PLCs.

CompactLogix is designed to support a range of applications while maintaining the same programming capabilities as its larger counterpart, ControlLogix, making it suitable for mid-sized applications. It provides flexibility and scalability, allowing users to start with a smaller system and expand as needed.

Other options, while related to PLCs, do not fit this specific criteria. For example, MicroLogix PLCs are more of an entry-level solution and not directly considered as smaller than ControlLogix; they are typically associated with older programming methods rather than Studio 5000. EliteLogix and FlexLogix refer to different product lines that may not directly align with the specific requirement of being a smaller version of ControlLogix integrated within the same programming framework.
