Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley PLCs over EtherNet/IP with DigiOS.

The line gets its work from DigiOS over EtherNet/IP and reports its state back, with safety logic staying in the controller.

What moves between Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley PLCs over EtherNet/IP and DigiOS: what, which way, the documents and data, and when.
WhatDirectionDocuments and dataWhen
Work to the lineOutA tag write that tells the line what to do next, such as a divert lane or a recipe number, with a handshake bitWhen the floor releases the work
Line and machine stateInRunning, stopped, faulted, blocked and starved states, and the fault codeAs the state changes
CountsInGood and reject counts, and cartons through a pointAs each count changes
AcknowledgmentsInThe controller's answer that a request was taken or refusedRight after each request

On your floor

Conveyor and line viewWatch a carton pass the scanner and divert to its lane, and see which orders a stopped section is holding up. The back office and the conveyor read the same scan.

How DigiOS works with Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley PLCs over EtherNet/IP

DigiOS reaches Logix controllers over EtherNet/IP using explicit messaging, which reads and writes named tags. An edge gateway in your building holds the connection, so nothing on your control network is opened to the internet. The controller's own program decides what a tag does.

About Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley PLCs over EtherNet/IP
Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers from Rockwell Automation are widely used on production lines, and EtherNet/IP is an industrial network protocol built on CIP.
Your account
The devices, printers and controllers stay yours, on your network. DigiOS reaches them through an edge unit in your building, or from the browser.
If a document is rejected
A scan, a label or a command that fails shows on the device and in the exceptions list with its reason, and nothing is sent again on a guess.

Questions about Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley PLCs over EtherNet/IP

Does DigiOS change our PLC program?

No. Your controls engineer or integrator adds the tags and the handshake. DigiOS writes and reads the ones you name.

Is anything on the control network exposed to the internet?

No. The edge gateway reaches out from your building. Nothing reaches in.

Which controllers work?

Controllers that speak EtherNet/IP with explicit messaging, such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix. Tell us the model and we confirm.

What if we have a mix of controllers?

That is common. Each line is set up on its own protocol, and OPC UA, EtherNet/IP and S7 can sit together.

Siemens PLCs over PROFINET and S7Work out to the controller's data blocks. Line and machine state back.OPC UA serversValues in from any OPC UA server. Writes and method calls out.MQTT and Sparkplug BMachine data in from an MQTT broker. Commands out to edge nodes and devices.
