How Much Does an Allen-Bradley PLC Control Panel Cost?
Allen-Bradley control panels
Short answer: Allen-Bradley PLC control panel cost depends on the controller platform and configuration.
The main paths are HMI-only, PLC/HMI, motors/VFDs, or remote I/O. Enclosure and engineering beyond the included hour can also affect the total.
The figures on this page are published catalog starting prices from the Automation Ready Panels shop—not custom historical quotes. Options on each product page change the total. If a configuration is not a standard published SKU, we show “needs a review” instead of inventing a number.
Quoted, designed, programmed, and shipped in 7–10 business days. Send project details and we’ll respond within 30 minutes.

What drives Allen-Bradley PLC panel cost
- PLC platform — Micro810/820/850 vs CompactLogix vs ControlLogix (published bases differ by thousands of dollars).
- Scope — HMI-only, PLC/HMI only, remote I/O, or panels that include motor starters / VFDs.
- Safety controllers — GuardLogix / safety CompactLogix SKUs are separate published products.
- I/O and field devices — Plug-in modules, chassis I/O, Point/Flex I/O, and valve banks are sold as product-page options (dollar adders exist in the live configurator; this draft does not auto-sum them into a fake total).
- Motors and drives — Horsepower, starter vs VFD, and network type change the configured total on the PDP.
- HMI — PanelView 800 vs PanelView 5000 and display size options.
- Enclosure — Mild steel Type 4 is common on PDPs; Type 4X stainless and larger footprints appear as options or larger SKUs.
- Engineering beyond the included hour — Published at $130/hour.
- Freight, tax, and site-specific requirements — Ask for a quote; no invented dollar claims on this draft.
Cost questions, answered
How much does a Micro800 / Micro PLC panel cost?
Published Automation Ready Panels catalog prices for Micro810 panels start at $1,668 (PLC-only) and include with-motors examples at $3,949. Micro820 PLC/HMI panels are published at $3,653; Micro820 with motors at $6,597. Micro850 PLC/HMI is $4,308; with motors $7,798. Options on each product page change the total.
How much does a CompactLogix panel cost?
Published examples include CompactLogix 5380 with PanelView 5000 and motor/VFD path at $9,626, safety CompactLogix PLC/HMI at $11,897, and safety with motors at $12,547. Homepage marketing also shows a CompactLogix band of $11,850–$12,650—ARP should reconcile that band with the $9,626 SKU before treating the band as the only public answer.
How much does a ControlLogix panel cost?
Published examples include $20,089 (UPS/modem-focused), $24,011 (small process with HMI/motors path), and $28,997 (large process). Homepage marketing shows $20,050–$24,300, which does not include the large-process SKU.
How much does a VFD panel cost?
Published PowerFlex VFD panel bases: $3,569 (523), $3,630 (4M), $4,155 (525).
What is included in the price?
Many standard product pages state Allen-Bradley and Hoffman components whenever possible, electrical schematic drawings, a user/programming manual, pre-programmed application building blocks (wording varies by SKU), and one additional hour of free custom application programming, drawing updates, and/or remote installation support. Confirm the exact bullet list on the product you select.
How fast can I get a panel?
Quoted, designed, programmed, and shipped in 7–10 business days. Product pages also state “Standard Lead Time: 7-10 Days (*subject to Terms and Conditions).” Confirm with ARP that PDP wording means business days before equating the lines in final published copy. (Owner rule: do not use blanket “Delivered in 7 Days” or “5–7 days” promises on this page.)
