ProSoft has released the new generation of ControlLogix platform Modbus communication module to help traditional devices accelerate digital transformation

ProSoft Technology announced the official launch of the new generation ControlLogix Platform Modbus Communication Module, aiming to help process industries, the energy industry and large manufacturing enterprises solve the interconnection problems of traditional equipment. Accelerate digital and intelligent transformation.

Supports multi-protocol communication between Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP, and can be seamlessly integrated with the Rockwell Automation ControlLogix control system to achieve transparent data transmission from field instruments to the upper-level control platform

Deepen industrial communication products

The product manager of ProSoft stated that there are still a large number of devices in the global manufacturing industry operating based on Modbus, with an average device life cycle exceeding 10 years. Many key instruments still communicate through RTU, serial port and other methods. This means that in the wave of digital transformation, customers need "data access capabilities" more than "replacement devices".

The demand for Modbus continues to grow

Despite the continuous updates of industrial communication protocols, Modbus still maintains a strong demand.

Data shows that in fields such as process industries, energy management, pumping stations, water treatment, and mining and metallurgy, over 55% of instruments and actuating devices still use the Modbus protocol.

Multiple industry analysis institutions have pointed out that as SCADA, MES, and cloud platforms enter factories, the demand for on-site edge data collection has significantly increased, and the "data on the cloud" capability of traditional protocols is becoming a market focus.

The ControlLogix module launched by ProSoft this time can achieve multi-channel concurrent communication, online diagnosis, remote parameter viewing and other functions, further reducing the difficulty of data access for traditional devices, and has a positive impact on promoting the digitalization of the industry.

Born for data interconnection

The new module adopts industrial-grade hardware design and is suitable for continuous operation environments. Combined with ProSoft communication drivers, it can provide stable and real-time Modbus data transmission capabilities.

The main features include:

Support Modbus RTU Master/Slave

Support Modbus TCP Client/Server

Online network diagnosis, rapid fault location

Independent data buffering mechanism enhances stability

Web debugging and configuration tools

Slot-type integration simplifies the installation process

System lifespan extension has become a new investment direction

In the current economic environment, "system life extension" is becoming an important direction for industrial investment.

A large number of factories are reluctant to completely replace the still-functioning instrument equipment. Instead, they prefer to achieve data access through communication modules to optimize energy consumption, carry out predictive maintenance, and enhance production efficiency.

As more industrial enterprises start to deploy data middle platforms, digital twin systems and cloud platforms, the demand for on-site Modbus data collection will continue to grow.

The ControlLogix Platform Modbus Communication Module launched by ProSoft will help enterprises break through key links, make on-site data truly "flow", and provide a foundation for the subsequent intelligent upgrade of factories.
