SCXI-1141

The SCXI-1141 modules offer hard-to-find specialty features including parsers, SSI and LDT interfaces, and PLS controllers.AMCI’s PLC modules plug directly into a PACSystem RX3i or RX7i controller. These specialized I/O modules are programmed using the PLC’s native software, most commonly Proficy Machine Edition. Helps equipment manufacturers quickly and reliably deploy Ethernet-APL field devices for the process industry. The hardware modules provide the connection to the Ethernet-APL as well as the application software that can be easily configured to achieve the desired behavior of the corresponding field device. commModule-APL comes with a pre-installed PROFINET stack.

SCXI-1141 is the new standard for end-to-end digital communications in the process industry, also for hazardous areas. Equipment manufacturers have to be prepared for the growing demand of end users for this modern data transmission technology. Their challenge now is to develop and certify new Ethernet-APL devices in the shortest possible time – ideally without having to accumulate extensive Ethernet-APL expertise. As ready-to-use and pre-certified hardware for deploying Ethernet-APL field devices, commModule APL supports manufacturers in meeting this challenge. It provides a configurable application data model and command mapping to migrate existing HART and Modbus devices to Ethernet-APL without writing any code.
