Softing expands interfaces with usbLink CN
Industrial automation specialist, Softing Industrial, introduces its usbLink CN — USB to ControlNet interface — as a replacement for the discontinued Allen-Bradley 1784-U2CN.
Softing has agreed to continue to support this product and release it as usbLink CN, extending Softing´s product line of USB interfaces that connect user laptops to industrial field devices.
This interface provides a USB 2.0 port for laptop or PC connections and an RJ45 port to connect to ControlNet networks. The simple design of usbLink CN enables on-the-go configuration of ControlNet devices with an easy setup. Use RSLinx and RSNetWorx for ControlNet communications.
"As part of the Rockwell Technology Partner Program, we are happy to have a relationship with Rockwell that allows us to take on product lifecycle extensions that help customers extend the life of their legacy applications," said Deane Horn, Softing director of marketing.
