Many companies use different control and information systems for each production discipline, programmable logic controllers for discrete systems, distributed control systems for process and batch systems, and speciality controllers for motion and safety. This approach means difficult and expensive system integration, multiple software packages, and expansive MRO inventory.

What’s more, decisions are made based on the limitations and boundaries of these disparate systems, diminishing your company’s ability to make timely, fully informed decisions and take action to help improve productivity, reduce costs and meet regulatory compliance.

Rockwell Automation's open control and information solutions eliminate this condition, easing installation, integration, maintenance and customer support responsibilities.

Line integration brings together your plant floor and your enterprise IT systems to unify your people, processes and technology, turning your resources into assets to achieve higher levels of business performance.

Safety

• Aim for a single network to accomplish many tasks
• Streamline multiple disciplines and applications into a single package
• Enable secure and easy flow of production data across the enterprise
• Achieve faster start-ups due to ease of integration between applications
• Reduce maintenance, spare parts and training costs

Line integration puts plant-wide optimisation within your reach, maximising the performance and productivity of your plant and your people.

Traditional architectures require separate control infrastructures for most factory automation applications, including motion, drives, process and safety control.

Our new approach to control helps you to standardise on a single control architecture and leverage a common application programming and configuration environment, regardless of the types of applications you need to manage or the complexity of the machines you build. This improves design flexibility, gives you the freedom to scale the control system up, down or across applications to meet a range of needs, and help customers to adapt to changing market demands.

You can bypass lengthy control selection processes, better accommodate changing design parameters or expansion of end customers’ application needs, and dedicate more engineering resources to driving machine innovation.

If your customers also standardise on a single control platform, you can also streamline support and maintenance services. Because engineers only need to be trained on one platform, you can provide more focused support while saving on overall training costs.

With more engineers fluent on a given control architecture, the consistency and quality of customer support also improves. Finally, standardising on a single control platform enables you to stock fewer parts while improving overall parts availability.

Rather than divulging intellectual property to a DCS system supplier, process equipment builders can gather, manage and secure their valuable design assets with control and information solutions from Rockwell Automation. They can also replicate their engineering designs, which enhances consistency, reduces development time and maximises the value of their intellectual property.

EtherNet/IP is the world’s leading open industrial Ethernet network, capable of handling the widest range of applications, including discrete, motion, drives, process and safety control.

Designed and established to connect across applications and from the end customer’s IT infrastructure all the way down to the motor level, EtherNet/IP streamlines control and information flow and offers the best pathway to a single network architecture.

• Full machine capabilities from discrete, motion, drives and safety
• Numerous topology options, including linear, star and ring, the OEM can mix and match the method that best matches the application needs with fewer constraints
• Scale without technology ‘breaks’ – 2 nodes to 100

The benefits of a single design environment and network architecture for the full range of applications are huge. By standardising on EtherNet/IP, you have one standard network that can lower your total cost to design, develop and deliver machines, while eliminating the risks and boundaries associated with proprietary and dedicated networks.
