ControlLogix Ethernet Driver Details
This driver is a member of the TOP Server Allen-Bradley Suite OPC Server. When you download or purchase the Allen-Bradley Suite, this driver is included along with all the TOP Server built-in features. This driver provides connectivity to Logix Family controllers via Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet protocol.
Advanced features such as ControlLogix Gateway support and NET-ENI support allow the ControlLogix Ethernet driver to connect, not only to Logix controllers, but also to PLC 5 and SLC Family controllers. The ControlLogix Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded high performance driver for simultaneous communication with multiple PLCs using multiple channels.
Make sure to check out our ControlLogix Performance Information to maximize the results from your TOP Server investment.
