Notes on System Architecture
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver provides com-
munication between the APOGEE
®
Automation Sys-
tem and Allen-Bradley systems on an EtherNet/IP
network.
Functionality
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver can be loaded
into PXC Modular hardware. The driver is a micropro-
cessor-based, multitasking platform designed for mul-
ti-system communication and control. The Allen-
Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver communicates with Insight
software, other APOGEE field panels and controllers,
and the Allen-Bradley system.
Through the Insight workstation, the Allen-Bradley
points can be monitored and commanded. The Allen-
Bradley points integrated into the APOGEE Automa-
tion System can be accessed by system applications,
such as Powers Process Control Language (PPCL),
scheduling, trending, and alarming.
The Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP Driver will not affect, in
any way, the operating sequence or safeties as facto-
ry programmed into the Allen-Bradley system.
Keys to Success
Ensure that all Allen-Bradley equipment to be inte-
grated is supported by the Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP
Driver.
Benefits
Systems integration brings the powerful facility control
capabilities of the APOGEE Automation System to-
gether with Allen-Bradley systems on an EtherNet/IP
network. Integrating the Allen-Bradley points allows
both systems to operate as a single system providing
marked advantages in the following:
 Reduced operating and training costs.
 Increased employee productivity.
 Increased diagnostic capabilities to extend
equipment life.
 Improved systems information and control.
 Maximized energy savings.
