FactoryTalk® Gateway is the next generation, highest performing Classic OPC DA data server for the Logix5000 controller family. FactoryTalk® Gateway utilizes RSLinx® Enterprise and FactoryTalk® Live Data
to distribute and share control system data. This gives you the fastest data rates and capacity possible, while minimizing the impact on your automation networks and controllers. FactoryTalk® Gateway delivers a fully scalable solution from small applications running on a single PC and a single controller to large distributed and even redundant data server configurations communicating to higher volume of controllers. The FactoryTalk® Gateway is available with multiple tag quantities from 5 thousand, 32 thousand, 75 thousand and unlimited editions so that you can acquire just enough to meet your application’s needs.

RSLinx® Classic is the most widely-installed Communications software in automation today. All editions of RSLinx® Classic deliver the ability to browse your automation networks, configure and diagnose network devices. RSLinx® Classic Lite is included at no extra cost with most Rockwell Automation design software so that you can manage and maintain your control system. RSLinx® Classic “Single Node”, “OEM” and “Gateway” editions provide both DDE and Classic OPC DA data servers to permit 3rd party software to access information within your control devices. RSLinx Classic “Single Node” permits a 32bit application running on the same PC with RSLinx Classic to interface with a single controller. RSLinx® Classic “OEM” goes further by communicating with a moderate number of controllers. RSLinx® Classic “Gateway” expands this to support 64 bit applications that are running either on the same PC or a remote PC using Ethernet to pass information between the computers. The “Gateway” edition of RSLinx® Classic can also act as a centralized network connection point for multiple computers running RSLinx® Classic so that you can centralize the administration of your network configuration.

Are you struggling to gain insights from your manufacturing data? Do your operators have real-time data in their line of sight? What is your data hiding from you?

Manufacturing analytics tools collect your raw data and turn it into actionable information. Sounds easy? There are many ways to manage information, but the key is the action you are able to take from that information and how high the hurdle is before getting to the data.

Starting with a specific problem to solve – such as improving OEE or improving yield – is a great way to pinpoint what type of analytics you may need, where the data comes from to solve that problem, and who needs the information to make the decision.

Scalable analytics from Rockwell Automation are the right choice, right size for you. From an Industrial IoT sensor to machines — all the way through your enterprise, we can help you with the right application and remove barriers to success.

Take a look at some analytics applications recently added to our family of Manufacturing Intelligence & Analytics products and services.

FactoryTalk® Metrics gives you the data that can reveal new ways to increase production, reduce costs, and increase quality. By generating accurate reporting of real plant floor activity, this software gives you important insights into using existing equipment and labor more effectively. FactoryTalk Metrics reports on OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), but it is more than just an OEE reporting tool. OEE can tell you how a machine is performing over time; it cannot tell you why the machine is performing at that level. FactoryTalk Metrics answers the “why” question, uncovering the root-causes of downtime and loss helps you make real improvements to performance.

FactoryTalk® EnergyMetrix is a web-enabled management software package that gives you access to critical energy information from virtually any location.

With FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix, you can capture, analyze, store, and share energy data with key stakeholders using a standard web browser. This makes it simple to distribute the knowledge necessary to optimize energy consumption, manage power quality, correlate energy usage, determine cost to production, negotiate energy rates, and improve efficiency.

Manage your manufacturing processes by integrating the critical data from your shop-floor with enterprise IT and other manufacturing applications. Think of the power. FactoryTalk® Transaction Manager can take an industrial transaction and tightly link it to multiple systems so they act as one. This helps you establish an end-to-end link, giving you reliability to support enterprise-wide integration.

In many cases, FactoryTalk Transaction Manager is used in data-logging situations where production data from the control system needs to be saved in a database. Different from a historian application, this software provides a two-way exchange of data between applications, like between a database and a control system for downloading production work orders for example. FactoryTalk Transaction Manager offers new levels of integration and visibility into many of these critical data transactions.
