Industry-standard Factory Communications

Standard factory networks and PC-based hardware solutions are creating more factory connectivity options than ever before. ORION® not only supports standard PC hardware, but also provides the software connectivity to simplify communications in your application.  Standard Ethernet factory network protocols and a variety of field buses provide connectivity to:

• Popular PLCs: A-B SLC & Modicon Quantum
• PC-based HMI packages like Wonderware, Intellution (Fix), US Data 
  (FactoryLink) and CI Technologies.
• Vision systems like DVT SmartSensors
• Ethernet I/O and other devices from a variety of automation control suppliers.

The most recent additions to ORMEC’s factory connectivity line-up are MotionBASIC® Extensions (MBXs) for Allen-Bradley Ethernet and Modbus TCP communications.  Utilizing standard Ethernet hardware -- an ISA bus or PC Card adapter -- A-B Ethernet 
or Modbus TCP communications provides an inexpensive, fast connectivity solution.
