Connect Installed A-B® PLCs with ControlLogix® PACs Without Writing Message Instructions Our new cATM™ module helps users of Allen-Bradley® SLC 500™, PLC-5®, MicroLogix™ and CompactLogix™ controllers connect to ControlLogix® PACs (Programmable Automation Controllers) without the need for time-consuming and expensive programming. The module helps companies simplify the addition of the latest PAC technology while protecting their investment in installed Allen-Bradley controllers.
The cATM module snaps into a ControlLogix PAC rack and provides bidirectional communications with installed PLCs through Ethernet®, ControlNet™, Data Highway Plus™ or DH485 bridges. The module features an onboard browser-driven configuration tool to eliminate the need for writing message instructions and doesn’t require added software or drivers. This module is part of the ATM™ (Appliance Transaction Module) platform from Online Development that includes enterprise, control and device modules.
