Connect Rockwell PLCs to SQL Databases with a Logix In-chassis Module
In the past, there was one way to connect PLCs to SQL databases and enterprise servers to leverage business systems or cloud for metrics monitoring, analytics, high-speed sorting, and recipe downloads. That connectivity solution included a PC in the middle, custom software coding, and protocol translation.
The problem: Custom connectivity is fragile, it’s a support hassle, and the software coding and interruptions never end since you are always learning as you go.
The solution: Rockwell has a clever solution when it comes to OT/IT convergence and partnered with Softing to provide a built-for-purpose, ControlLogix and CompactLogix in-chassis, industrial OT/IT connectivity solution — no-code, no-PC, and no OPC protocol translation solution.
