  • Automatic detection of PLC configuration changes (Requires keyswitch position change)
  • Optimized performance and memory utilization
  • Access to Controller (global)
  • Access to Program (local) tags (requires ControlLogix Firmware 21 and above)
  • Loading of device configuration files .l5k, .pc5, and .slc
  • Bit writes through OPC tags
  • Automatic discovery of devices
  • Supports custom, user-defined structures in ControlLogix PLC’s
  • Superior graphic user interface to enhance usability
  • Enhanced health monitoring
  • Support for Rockwell EN2T communication card
  • Supports serial and Ethernet (remove “.”)
  • ASCII file Access as a String of fixed length
  • Modular, high-performance control platform suited for sequential, process, drive, and motion control
  • Wide range of analog, digital and specialty I/O modules
  • Access to arrays of files types: Float, Signed Integer and Long Signed Integer as OPC elements of type (VT_ARRAY|…)
