eATM tManager CompactLogix

eATM tManager enables direct bi-directional data exchange between enterprise systems like Microsoft SQL databases and CompactLogix PLCs. eATM tManager is a hardware solution directly integrated in the PLC and thus is better suited for data exchange than using PC-based software applications. Deploying eATM tManager over systems based on VB scripts or FactoryTalk Transaction, tManager has the advantage of eliminating the need for another hardware platform between the controller and the SQL database server.

eATM tManager allows downloading recipes and manufacturing instructions in the controller or uploading production parameters for track and trace or monitoring in the database. Microsoft SQL databases are commonly used between MES applications and the production line.

Increasingly, manufacturing facilities are looking to connect PLCs directly to cloud applications such as AWS, Azure, Google, or IBM.  Connection from plant floor to cloud can be done securely with tManager because it has two Ethernet ports, which are electrically isolated, and supports two IP addresses.

tManager for CompactLogix is compatible with the 1769 CompactLogix and 5380 CompactLogix (5069).

Drivers are available to connect eATM tManager in the CompactLogix rack via the front Ethernet port to additional Allen-Bradley PLCs and  Siemens PLCs.

eATM tManager has been developed making use of the Rockwell Automation Encompass Product Partner program. It enables Softing to design CompactLogix in-chassis modules directly accessing control tags. The databases Microsoft SQL and Oracle are supported.
