OVERVIEW
The eATM® family of Enterprise Appliance Transaction Modules enable the connection of enterprise and plant-wide systems via messaging services such as JMS or other computer and communications adapters. The in-chassis modules fit in ControlLogix® Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) platforms from Rockwell Automation.

eATM tManager EI includes comprehensive functionality in a compact,
easy-to-use package.

Fast and Easy…

First, choose from the many messaging or protocol computer adapters available. Next, install the eATM appliance in a ControlLogix chassis or on a panel. Then, use the eATM® software to drag and drop configurations – that’s all there is to it. No special languages to know, no special training required, and no enterprise drivers are required. Secure… The functionality of eATM appliances is totally independent of factory floor device operation. Operation can only be changed by authorized personnel using the eATM software tool. As an industrial product, eATM appliances have better security and reduced vulnerability to attack than PC-based options.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Packaged Solution

• Each eATM includes software and the hardware module
  

Configuration and Operation

• System Approach:
  – Projects: Define one or many as a means of organization
  – Triggers: Set based on values, time and other characteristics
  – Store & Forward: Store data onboard if communications is lost to an adapter
  – Failover: On loss of communication, an adapter would transmit its messages
     to the failover adapter

• All configurations are stored in the appliance in onboard memory:
   – Enables configurations to be imported, exported, backed up and restored, should
       the module require replacement
