Product Introduction
The Molex SST-ESR2-CLX-RLL is a specialized communication substrate and network interface module designed to integrate Rockwell Automation ControlLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs) into GE Fanuc Ethernet Global Data (EGD) networks. Engineered for hybrid industrial plants running legacy GE PLC systems alongside newer Rockwell control architectures, this module acts as a high-performance scanner. It enables seamless, deterministic peer-to-peer data exchange between disparate control platforms, allowing the ControlLogix PAC to read and write global memory tables across the Ethernet network without requiring complex custom messaging routines.
Frequently Asked Questions
⚡ What is the primary function of this communication module?
It bridges Rockwell ControlLogix systems with GE Fanuc EGD networks, allowing seamless exchange of global data variables between different control platforms.
🔌 How does the module interface with the ControlLogix rack and programming software?
It mounts directly into a standard 1756 ControlLogix chassis and uses Rockwell Add-On Profiles (AOPs) alongside SST configuration software for network parameter setup.
⚙️ What industrial environments typically utilize the SST-ESR2-CLX-RLL?
It is widely deployed in legacy migration projects or multi-vendor manufacturing plants (such as automotive and power generation facilities) where GE and Rockwell systems must operate cooperatively.
