Overview

As devices are getting smarter, so is the software that moves that device data. At Rockwell Automation, technology advancements in connectivity software have made accessing and transporting data easier than ever before.

No matter the size or nature of your application, we have communication solutions that provide greater operability between your Rockwell Automation and third-party devices, machines and software. This allows you to harness information in your control system to make smarter, faster business decisions that will help you maintain your competitive advantage.

The FactoryTalk® Linx Gateway adds a Classic OPC-DA and OPC UA server interface to deliver information collected by FactoryTalk Linx from Logix 5000™ and other Allen‑Bradley controllers to external OPC clients, permitting third-party software to coexist with FactoryTalk software.
