Company introduction
Spectrum Controls has been a leader in cutting-edge industrial I/O and the first company to build licensed I/O modules for Rockwell Automation as a proud Technology Partner. We expand what your control system can do, with solutions the standard catalog doesn’t offer.We’re not a general automation vendor. We’re the company engineers turn to when the standard modules don’t have what the project requires. Whether that’s high-density analog, universal inputs, HART communication, high-speed discrete I/O, or even cross-protocol connectivity.Spectrum Controls became a Rockwell Automation Technology Partner in 1991, one of the earliest in the program’s history. That relationship is the foundation of everything we build.Our modules use the same backplanes and chassis as standard Rockwell hardware. Drop-in compatible. No programming changes. No I/O tree edits required. The quality and reliability engineers already trust, with more capability built in.Spectrum Controls module is designed to solve a specific problem the standard Rockwell catalog doesn’t address. Here’s what that looks like in practice.A single high-density module replaces multiple low-density ones. This reduces cost, rack space, and power draw. Fewer modules means simpler installation, less wiring, and a cleaner panel.Eliminate the need for multiple dedicated input modules. Any channel can be independently configured for voltage, current, thermocouple, resistance, or RTD and in any combination.Some applications don’t call for standard I/O. Our specialty modules which include isolated inputs, thermocouple, RTD, BACnet, high-current relays, and more, provide the exact capability your project requires.Spectrum Controls offers full turnkey custom I/O for Rockwell Automation platforms. We handle everything from requirements and design through prototype, certification, and lifecycle support. The result is a module built exactly for your application, fully licensed by Rockwell Automation, and ready to drop into your existing system.InView Displays connect directly to your Allen-Bradley PLC and show live data including output counts, line status, and process values exactly as your system sees them. Browser-based GUI means minimal programming required. Configure messages, variables, and display logic with only a few lines of ladder logic.NEMA-rated enclosures and superior viewing angles vs LCD make InView the display engineers specify when plant floor visibility matters. Visible up to 450 feet.Whether you have a specific application in mind, need a demo unit, or just want to know if we have a module that fits, we’re here for you. We’re engineers too, and we speak your language.
