Communication Products
SIXNET Industrial Telephone Modems are specifically designed for industrial environments from -30 to +70°C! Connect these rugged modems to any PLC, RTU or any other industrial equipment that you need to remotely access.
VT-MODEM-1 General Purpose 33.6K (V.34)
This is the workhorse for general industrial applications. It supports speeds up to 33.6K (V.34)
VT-MODEM-2 PLC Self-dialing
This can automatically dial out on a contact closure from any PLC or other device.
VT-MODEM-3 RS422 / RS485 & Extended Power
This has a RS422/485 port in addition to the RS232 port. It also accepts power up to 52 VDC.
VT-MODEM-4 Leased-Line
This supports 2-wire leased-line.
(Note: Must be used in pairs. May not be compatible with other brands of leased-line modems.)
VT-MODEM-5 Advanced 56K (V.92)
This supports speeds up to 56K and advanced features such as call-back security and remote configuration.
SIXNET Real-time Ethernet Switches have enhanced performance that allows you to achieve real-time deterministic operation. These ruggedized switches are truly industrial hardened to provide superior reliability and are offered with a unique 20-year support promise. They require no user setup and immediately start operating as soon as you power them up. SIXNET switches will make your job easier.
EtherTRAK Ethernet Managed Switches are designed to survive in the toughest industrial environments. They perform outdoors, in marine and hazardous environments, and indoors on the factory floor - in places where other switches quickly fail. Ensure the reliability of your network with automatic switchover on detected failure (ring topology). Only SIXNET switches deliver ultra-reliability and a unique 20-year service life promise!
SIXNET Real-time Ring™ Switches are a break-through in Ethernet technology. They provide fault-tolerant ring redundancy and true deterministic performance, so valuable in PLC (automation) systems, for the same low cost as SIXNET's original industrial Ethernet switches. Modbus status monitoring connects to your PLC or SCADA system so you can maintain your system as you do with every other instrumentation device in your plant. It doesn't get any better! These switches deliver reliability and performance, save you money, and make your job easier.
Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Super speed your network backbone or take advantage of the Gigabit capability of your newest plant floor equipment. These Gigabit-enabled industrial switches are ten times faster, and like all SIXNET switches are designed to survive in the toughest industrial environments. Now you can insure the deterministic performance of your fault-tolerant rings with the ultra-fast Gigabit fiber optic ports on this powerful product. Plus only SIXNET switches deliver ultra-reliability and a unique 20-year service life promise!
Mount an Etherbus™ Industrial Ethernet Switch (EB-GT-8ES-1) directly onto a machine or a convenient wall in a harsh environment. Now you can have the convenience of Fieldbus packaging and the open systems flexibility that only Ethernet can provide.
Dataloggers and I/O Products
Dataloggers
SIXNET offers a wide range of advanced dataloggers designed for capturing your important data in real-time, time-stamping it and saving it to battery-backed memory. SIXNET also provides the powerful Sixlog software that makes it easy to transfer your data from your field installed dataloggers to your supervisory system. This includes client initiated transfers to a secure datalog server , redundant datalog transfers , and more. These feature-rich dataloggers are also flexible (with open-source Linux), expandable (up to thousands of I/O), and industrially ruggedized with certifications for harsh industrial environments.
RTUs
SIXNET RTUs combine the functionality of a PLC, datalogger, industrial computer and communications gateway into an intelligent automation solution. These feature-rich Remote Terminal Units are also flexible, expandable, and designed for tough industrial environments. They are easily expanded with SIXNET's "Process Quality I/O" . SIXNET offers a range of compatible RTUs from a few I/O points to thousands.
Process Quality I/O
SIXNET offers "Process Quality" I/O with the performance features of a high-end DCS in a compact and affordable, modular package. The three SIXNET I/O families let you flexibly cluster or distribute I/O to your best advantage.
PC-Based Control Products
IPM Controllers
ISaGRAPH is the portable ladder logic used by major PLC vendors, but in the IPm, its so much more. SIXNET provides the standard “Workbench” development tools that all vendors supply – your programs will be portable between programs in the true intention of open systems. Above and beyond this, the IPm gives you performance enhancements such as direct Tag sharing (never enter data twice), automatic scaling into floating point variables (work directly in engineering units), and a wealth of valuable library functions (dial a modem, do SPC calculations, improved PID, etc.).
