Effective automation relies on networking
everything from the simplest device on
your network all the way to the Internet.
Rockwell Automation’s Open NetLinx Architecture
is a complete networking solution that allows just
that. Now you can Control, Configure, and Collect
data transparently throughout your entire plant,
which dramatically reduces installation costs,
increases system performance, and improves
flexibility – all while boosting productivity.
NetLinx provides optimal performance in a
seamlessly integrated solution. NetLinx is an
architecture based on open networks and
software interfaces that use the Producer/
Consumer Model for efficient communication.
EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, and
Foundation Fieldbus are a part of the NetLinx
architecture.
NetLinx also offers simplified bridging and routing
options, troubleshooting capabilities, and the
ability to tailor your applications as needed.
