The TOP Server AutomationDirect Suite provides the ultimate in flexibility for connectivity to the widest range of devices supporting the AutomationDirect protocols and integration to other software applications using OPC DA, OPC UA and AVEVA Suitelink. This software allows connectivity to AutomationDirect PLCs via EBC or ECOM over UDP Ethernet and Productivity Series devices via Modbus TCP/IP, as well as devices supporting the DirectNET and K-Sequence Protocol over serial connections.
These drivers also work with legacy GE Series One (1), TI305, PLC Direct, and Simatic/TI 305 PLCs.
This Suite contains the following OPC drivers:
• AutomationDirect ECOM Ethernet – Ethernet connectivity via ECOM/ECOM100 modules
• AutomationDirect EBC Ethernet – Ethernet connectivity for DirectLOGIC PLCs
• AutomationDirect Productivity Series Ethernet – Native Ethernet connectivity for Productivity PLCs
• AutomationDirect DirectNET Serial – Serial connectivity for DL series PLCs
• AutomationDirect K-Sequence Serial – Serial connectivity for Koyo PLCs
When you purchase the TOP Server AutomationDirect Suite you get licenses for five different drivers for communications to your AutomationDirect PLCs and control systems.
Ideal for applications in packaging, material handling, discrete manufacturing, and water/wastewater treatment where AutomationDirect controllers are deployed.
✔ Covers all I/O moddives supported by the EBC
✔ High-speed operation designed for SoftPLC I/O
✔ Supports Ethernet Encapsdivation for using Ethernet-to-Serial converters
✔ Automatic tag database generation for plug-and-play ease of use
