Objectives

• To show integrators how easily Profibus and Modbus devices and networks can be integrated into Rockwell’s Integrated Architecture

• To discuss the meaning, and the benefits, of Integrated Architecture– To end-users– To system integrators

• To specify the issues facing integrators of legacy protocol devices

• And to list the ways in which Molex and Rockwell together can overcome any problems

Integrated Architecture

• Integrated means that the end-user sees one system

– Operators are trained once– Maintenance is provided from a single

source– Engineering tools and operating

interfaces work together– Look & feel is maintainedCustomer

Satisfaction

IntegratedArchitecture One-stop-shop

One knowledge base

Customer Requirements

• Potential buyers of Rockwell software, Automation and Control hardware, and Networks, also want to include other devices

– How do they install, communicate and manage the devices, and the data they produce ?

– How do they support the legacy protocols that often come with them ?

Problems to resolve

• End-Users want to keep existing infrastructure

– To save costs• Avoid new CAPEX• Avoid labour to change

– To minimise risk• If it’s not broke, don’t change it

• System integrators want to use known, tested architectures

– Supplier relationships– Training of employees

• Some solutions are only available with a limited protocol range

• Some protocols are ‘mandated’ or adopted as standards by industry, trade groups, safety or advisory bodies

• Some protocols become de facto standards by their success

Meeting the Needs

• Molex is an expert in industrial protocols– Gateways, PC cards

• Rockwell asked Molex to provide Profibus and Modbus solutions

• Molex integrated the device networks into Rockwell Architecture

– Configuration and diagnostic through AB RSLinx™ (RLL) or local Serial port

– Possible to change the ControlLogixConfiguration while the PROFIBUS Scanner is online

– Possible to change the Profibus Configuration while CPU is RUN mode

• Use Molex tools or Rockwell toolsWide range of Legacy Protocols

Key Benefits

• End-user or integrator can choose the software solution and the PAC supplier independently of the IO/Fieldbus requirements– Legacy devices and cabling can be kept

• Maintain initial investment• Reduce risk of changing network or devices• Use of best-of-class, instead or best-available-with-DeviceNet

– Expertise is maintained• Investment in training of personnel• Suppliers• Maintenance process, quality

• Operations controlled seamlessly through Rockwell software– Legacy device network/fieldbus transparent to user

• Easy to set up, install, manage, diagnose
