Connect Multi-brand PLCs

May 6, 2009
The cATM High-Performance appliance transaction modules can connect various types and brands of PLCs without the need to program message instructions between them.
The modules are optimized to provide faster data exchange rates than OPC-based solutions for critical data exchange applications, and feature a browser-driven set-up utility that automatically recognizes all controller tags or registers. An interface within the utility enables dragging and dropping tag or register data from one controller screen to another. The utility also validates tag/register transactions between controllers. The appliance module installs in a Rockwell Automation ControlLogix PAC chassis and communicates with the following installed Allen-Bradley PLCs: CompactLogix, SLC 500, PLC-5, MicroLogix and FlexLogix. It also communicates with other PLCs including Siemens S7 and Schneider Modicon Quantum. It is compatible with the following Allen-Bradley data bridges: EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DH485 and DH+. Data bridge support is Ethernet TCP/IP for Siemens and Ethernet Modbus/TCP for Schneider Modicon.Online Development Inc.www.oldi.com800.625.8678
