Version CLXOPC -RoviSys ControlLogix to OPC
RoviSys ControlLogix to OPC connection (CLXOPC) enables you to establish a real time bi-directional interface between Allen Bradley ControlLogix® processors and any other control system with an OPC server. CLXOPC supports exchange of process data and supervisory control information between two separate systems. With CLXOPC, you have a straightforward and efficient means of migrating to new systems and allowing existing older systems communicate with new ones. It efficiently integrates with any OPC server and does not have any capability limitations. CLXOPC interfaces tags from your OPC server directly and securely to ControlLogix over the backplane, eliminating the need for a ControlLogix OPC server or bridge.
Discover the possibilities
Because it is an open solution without arbitrary tag or capability limits, with CLXOPC you have practically no limits on what and how you can connect systems and devices to ControlLogix processors. You can create ControlLogix interfaces with distributed control systems, PLCs and single loop controllers.
Secure and low maintenance
CLXOPC can host your OPC server with an in-chassis Windows PC and communicates directly and securely across the ControlLogix backplane. This eliminates the need to manage desktop OPC servers and Ethernet connections from OPC servers to ControlLogix PACs.
CLXOPC enables efficient real-time bi-directional interface between Allen Bradley ControlLogix processors and any OPC server.
Additional benefits include:
- No connection issues or capabilities limitations
- Transparent to the operator
- No Ethernet connection to manage from OPC server to ControlLogix when the OPC server is installed on the COMPUTE module
- Enables phased migration or permanent control interface
- Can have your OPC server on the Rockwell COMPUTE module or an external Windows Server Computer
- Capable and scalable with no hard tag limits
- You purchase and install the Windows OPC server that works best for your control platform
