Rockwell Automation NetLinx Architecture
Separate communication interface adapters are available for
different networks. Install adapters into the PointBus backplane
to allow Isysnet modules to communicate with a controller.
NetLinx open network architecture is the Rockwell Automation
strategy of using open networking technology for seamless,
top-floor to shop-floor integration. The networks in the NetLinx
architecture, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and EtherNet/IP, speak a
common language and share a universal set of communication
services. NetLinx architecture, part of the Integrated
Architecture, seamlessly integrates all the components in an
automation system from a few devices on one network to
multiple devices on multiple networks including access to the
Internet, helping you to improve flexibility, reduce installation
costs, and increase productivity.
•
EtherNet/IP is an open industrial networking standard that
supports implicit and explicit messaging and uses commercial,
off-the-shelf EtherNet equipment and physical media.
• ControlNet allows intelligent, high-speed control devices to
share the information required for supervisory control, work-
cell coordination, operator interface, remote device
configuration, programming, and troubleshooting.
• DeviceNet offers high-speed access to plant-floor data from a
broad range of plant-floor devices and a significant reduction
in wiring.
