By using only one stick type with the optimal plug-ins selected based on the requirements of the application, the GuardShield 450L portfolio is a simple, cost effective solution that offers enhanced flexibility while maintaining the highest level of safety.

A Smart Device is an electronic device capable of performing autonomous computing and connecting to other devices wired or wirelessly for data exchange. The use of Smart Devices allows you to maximize production, increase uptime and profitability, perform proactive and predictive maintenance, and most importantly plan for the future. In this webinar, we’ll walk you through the challenges and advantages of adding Smart Devices to your workflow, explain why you need Smart Devices, and how they can maximize your Industry 4.0 Migrations.

A Rockwell Automation Installed Base Evaluation (IBE) is much more than simply counting parts. It’s a thorough analysis of your critical plant assets and their condition. This service provides the knowledge needed to help you make data-driven decisions regarding the support and obsolescence management of your installed base assets. panel. By optimizing your Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO), we’ll help ensure you have the right parts, in the right place, at the right time.

The 1492 conversion system makes it easy to connect the existing SLC IO terminal wiring to the new Compact 5000 I/O modules. Migrate with ease:

• Lower overall conversion time and effort - Reduce time to rewrite controller program with code conversion tools and convert I/O and maintain existing field wiring connections
• Reduce troubleshooting at startup with zero wiring errors
• Save installation time - No drilling required as conversion chassis utilizes existing mounting holes

There is a lot of talk about smart manufacturing, but what does “smart” mean to you? Every manufacturer can have a different definition based on your needs and understanding what you’d like to accomplish is key to identify what smart can do for you. Join Rockwell Automation experts Joe Wenzel and Kris Dornan as they discuss Smart Manufacturing and the considerations to define your smart.

Rockwell Automation introduces the new Allen-Bradley Guardmaster  SafeZone 3 with CIP Safety. Using Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) Safety over Ethernet/IP, the SafeZone 3 safety laser scanner adds the advantage of integration with a GuardLogix  control system using Studio 5000 Logix Designer . It also supports Device Level Ring (DLR) network topology which helps increase network resiliency.

Automating your processes helps maximize production and increase profitability. Rockwell Automation shares your goal of keeping automation systems running smoothly and effectively, which allows you to be more competitive and cost-effective. Having the right part on-hand minimizes both downtime and mean time to repair (MTTR). Whether down for an emergency or scheduled maintenance, or for a start-up, the less time a process is down the more profitable it can be.

In today’s economy, it is necessary to have migration solutions that help you achieve increased productivity and lessen your risk of maintaining your legacy equipment. You need to work with a supplier that has the product, service and industry knowledge to partner with on an upgrade strategy that will help maximize your competitive advantage. With the Stratix 8000 platform of switches no longer available, the Stratix 5800 is a great choice for replacing installations that require up to 26 ports. Talk to your ES&E Automation Specilist to go over some options.

CompactLogix 5380 and Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers help enable faster system performance, capacity, productivity and security to meet the growing demands of smart machines and equipment for manufacturing. All CompactLogix 5380 and Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers use the same development environment, Studio 5000 Logix Designer application. The application combines elements of design into one standard framework and manages safety so that you can optimize productivity and reduce time to commission.
