Industrial Communication Software that Deliver the Goods
Modern operations are more data-driven than ever before. The right communications layer means that your system can harness the right data in the right places at the right time.
FactoryTalk Linx software delivers a solution from small applications running on a single computer with a single controller, to large distributed and even redundant data server configurations communicating with large automation systems. This software is specifically optimized to work with Logix 5000® Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) and the PlantPAx® process controller using EtherNet/IP.
