Manufacturers using CompactLogix platforms struggle to remain competitive in the global market. To further complicate matters, applications require third-party networks, such as PROFIBUS and MODBUS, to easily interface with devices like flow meters, controllers, and actuators.
PAC/PLC communication modules are available for various industrial networks and fieldbuses, including Modbus Serial, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS DP, and AS-interface. All modules offer common features such as superior electrical noise isolation, a micro SD card slot for file storage allowing for easy and simple replacement, and a 10/100Mb Ethernet port for downloads and network monitoring/diagnostics.
The modules feature integrated LEDs on the front panel for easy monitoring of module and network status. The module hardware and software are 100% designed, developed, and manufactured in Molex facilities. Molex is a global partner of Rockwell Encompass.
