Using tManager, a connectivity module for Rockwell Automation Controllers, two of our customers recently met their clients’ project goals of total systems integration. Here’s how they did it.
If you are a Rockwell customer, looking for a cost-effective way to connect new head-end processors to legacy remote I/O networks, reducing expenses and minimizing the downtime associated with a legacy network upgrade, there is a solution to this challenging scenario. As a Rockwell Technology Partner, Softing offers an industrial networking solution from Phoenix Digital that lets you install the new head-end control system and keep your legacy network and legacy I/O.
System integration using a PC and custom code can come with a lot of errors in project estimation, increase risk, cost money and possibly even put your customer at risk. Fortunately, there are built-for-purpose integration solutions that eliminate the PC, eliminate custom code, and eliminate protocol conversion for PLC-to-database and cloud integration projects. In this blog, we show you how tManager from Rockwell, an in-chassis PLC module for bidirectional data exchange between enterprise systems and ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™ PLCs, does just that.
tManager acts as a PLC in-chassis transaction manager, moving plant floor data between enterprise systems and PLCs. It also connects PLCs to cloud applications, analytics apps or dashboards in minutes. In a recent Rockwell Automation Webinar, Softing experts answered audience questions about the ins and outs of tManager. We’ve compiled some questions and answers to broaden your understanding of how tManager works.
tManager makes it easy to connect the worlds of OT and IT in your factory. This PLC in-chassis transaction manager moves plant floor data between enterprise systems and PLCs. It also lets you connect PLCs to your favorite Cloud application, analytics app or dashboard — all in 10 minutes.
This blog post explores how Softing's tManager bridged the gap between the enterprise and controller levels in a robotic welding application.
