Avtron NetMax Ethernet Module for AutoMax Systems

Avtron’s AutoMax ™ Ethernet ™ communications module – the NetMax™ – can solve your communication dilemmas with AutoMax. If you need to communicate with Ethernet to your AutoMax rack – then look no further.

By introducing a high performance Ethernet network into the Reliance Electric AutoMax environment, the Avtron NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module can open up communications doors not available until now. Some of the challenges of industrial networking include vendor interoperability, noise immunity, and ease of use. Today’s industrial Ethernet environment requires communications to many different vendors and devices. That is where NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module can help. It supports multiple, simultaneous industrial protocols for Ethernet, and can connect your AutoMax systems onto different Ethernet networks. PLC’s, HMI’s, DCS’s, data loggers, or even drives can be connected to the NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module, allowing NetMax to extend the life of Reliance Electric AutoMax and create even more value in an already installed base.

Ethernet communications with the NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module can be made either through a 10/100BASE T or a built-in 100BASE FX fiber optic connection. Because an AutoMax can exist in many harsh communication environments, a fiber optic Ethernet port built onto the NetMax will allow for noise-free operation.

Since the AutoMax enjoys a large installed base in many critical industries, set up of the NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module has been made quite easy. In the event of a catastrophic failure, getting your communications and processes back up quickly is important. With ease of replacement in mind, the NetMax AutoMax Ethernet module does not require special software to configure, and can be set up for fast, easy replacement. Also available is the VME Ethernet module.
