A new paper from Rockwell Automation reveals how progressive manufacturers are focusing on safety automation solutions to keep their people safe, their machines working and their bottom lines robust
The cooperation is part of a broader initiative by Rockwell Automation into the hybrid process applications segment.
Together, the companies will expand device connectivity and configuration capabilities using standard technologies such as Foundation Fieldbus and HART, implementing and testing the full capability of E+H devices with Allen-Bradley Logix controllers and RSLogix 5000 software.
In addition, through the use of E+H FieldCare software, Rockwell Automation will offer configuration, diagnosis and integration of a wide range of process devices into the Rockwell Software RSMACC suite of asset management software solutions.
This solution will allow Rockwell Automation to offer integration of process devices using both EDD and the "Field Device Tool/Device Type Manager" (FDT/DTM) specifications.
Furthering its commitment to open standards, Rockwell Automation intends to join E+H and other companies in the steering committee of the FDT/DTM Joint Interest Group with the goal of furthering FDT as a configuration and data management interface for text- and graphically-based process device profiles.
"This participation complements our leadership in the Fieldbus Foundation as we help drive standards that cover the broadest possible range of process devices," said Ken Deken, vice president and general manager Logix NetLinx business, and the Rockwell Automation representative on the Fieldbus Foundation Board.
