The gateway eliminates the need for custom programmed data

bridges and is supplied with a setup utility that uses intuitive screens and

drag-and-drop operation to configure data transactions between controllers. After

the module is configured, it automatically and transparently exchanges data

between controllers with no control program changes. Configurable data exchange

enables machine-to-machine connectivity for horizontal integration and

migration at the control level. The gateway also features a backplane interface

that enables direct access to data in the ControlLogix processor, or to other

PLCs/PACs through Rockwell Automation bridge modules. Connections to other

controllers or devices are made via the module’s serial or Ethernet ports.
