The new cATM module that connects a variety of Allen-Bradley controllers with ControlLogix PACs without programming messaging instructions, was a show stopper at Automation University sponsored by Rockwell Automation.

“Many customers were excited to see this new product that will help them easily add the many features of ControlLogix PACs to their operations while protecting their investment in existing control platforms,” commented Online Development’s Christophe Renard. “The module’s on-board configurator was a real hit since it doesn’t require drivers and is so easy to use. This will take the pain and expense out of upgrades.”

Held in Paris, France, Automation University showcases the latest Rockwell Automation products and services from the company as well as its partners such as Online Development.
