SmartLinx® modules provide direct digital
connection to popular industrial communications
buses with true plug-and-play compatibility with
products manufactured by Siemens.
Many Siemens
Milltronics products include Modbus®
communications. For additional communication
modules, SmartLinx cards are the answer.
They are fast
and easy to install, and can be added at any
time. The module simply plugs into the socket on
any SmartLinxenabled product. They require no
secondary private buses or gateways and no
separate wiring. There are no extra boxes to
connect to your network so there’s a minimum
load on engineering and maintenance staff.
SmartLinx
provides all data from the instrument, including
measurement and status, and allows changes to
operation parameters to be done over the bus.
The user can select which data in the
application layer to transfer over the bus. This
selection saves bandwidth and memory and
optimizes data throughput and speeds up the
network, enabling you to connect more
instruments to your network.
