OEM HMI bundled with A-B Ethernet comms
for free
Machines can communicate across factory floors over Ethernet to Allen-Bradley PLCs simply and inexpensively with CTC PowerStation OEM operator interfaces now available bundled with a new A-B driver
Machines can communicate across factory floors over Ethernet to Allen-Bradley PLCs simply and inexpensively with CTC PowerStation OEM operator interfaces now available from PBE systems bundled with software including a new A-B driver at no additional cost Said to be the first bundled HMI solution offering this facility, in place of the previously required expensive cards and Windows-based SCADA based systems, the driver communicates with both A-B SLC-5 and PLC-5 controllers
Benefits to machine builders and users include simplified wiring, the ability to interact with multiple PLCs simultaneously and faster communication.
Additional cost-savings are achieved by using standard off-the-shelf products.
This solution also offers the reportedly 'unique' ability to send programming updates to the PLC without unplugging the HMI, which can remain running during an update.
