Struggling with legacy communication software? FactoryTalk Linx enhancements (over RSLinx) deliver superior performance, security, and integration for Allen-Bradley PLCs like CompactLogix. Formerly RSLinx Enterprise, FactoryTalk Linx is the preferred choice for modern HMI and PLC systems. Here are five key improvements for industrial automation.
FactoryTalk Linx is a modern communication platform designed for Integrated Architecture, offering robust connectivity and layered security. Unlike RSLinx Classic, which supports legacy networks like DH+, FactoryTalk Linx optimizes EtherNet/IP communication and integrates seamlessly with Studio 5000 and FactoryTalk View.
Enhanced Security: Supports CIP Security for encrypted communication, protecting data in networked systems, unlike RSLinx’s basic security.
Unified Data Access: Provides a single access point for FactoryTalk and third-party software, reducing complexity compared to RSLinx’s separate data servers.
Scalable Architecture: Handles small to large, redundant systems with less network burden, outperforming RSLinx’s limited scalability.
HMI Optimization: Designed for FactoryTalk View (e.g., PanelView Plus), ensuring seamless HMI-PLC communication, unlike RSLinx’s focus on programming.
OPC UA Support: FactoryTalk Linx Gateway offers OPC UA for third-party integration, a modern upgrade over RSLinx’s OPC DA.
