Joining the expanding line of in-rack PCs offered by ProSoft Technology is the new in-rack PC with OPC Server for ControlLogix processors (PC56-OPC).
The PC56-OPC is capable of maintaining tight control of operations requiring high processing speeds by utilising two Ethernet ports to access data and bring this it directly to the ControlLogix backplane.
In addition to adding to efficiency and reliability of an operation, the PC56-OPC is a plugand- play product that can integrate into an existing ControlLogix rack without requiring a single modification to the controller program. The module’s unique design allows for a simple installation and improved performance, while eliminating the need for costly middleware. For added reliability and seamless process, users may place multiple modules into a single rack to support a redundant network.
- Improved reliability and performance: no middleware between client software and ControlLogix hardware
- Easy hardware redundancy by utilising two PC56-OPC modules
- Easy-to-use configuration tools via SMC (Management Console), a graphical interface providing for configuration and diagnostic support.
