Just as Opteon devices connect seamlessly among themselves, systems composed of Opteon devices interoperate just as effortlessly with Programmable Logic Controllers from all of the major suppliers. This guarantees interoperability with all of their sensors and machine controls as well.

Any system data detected by the Opteon system can be communicated to the internal memory of the PLC in its native language at the PLC’s maximum rate. Any information communicated from the PLC will be propagated throughout the Opteon network within 1 µS of transmission by the PLC.

Opteon IE Gateways are available that will communicate using all major Industrial Ethernet protocols:

• Ethernet/IP Adapter
• EtherCAT Slave
• Open Modbus/TCP
• Powerlink
• Profinet IO-RT Device
• Sercos Slave
• Varan Client
