To automate your plant effectively, you need to network everything – from the simplest device all the way to the Internet. And, if your plant is like most, you already have a number of networks installed for different purposes. But with the wide range of devices, networks, and protocols, you likely have trouble getting all of your systems to speak the same language. This affects your productivity, increases your costs, and impedes your ability to react to change quickly. 

Kendall Electric has a solution from Allen-Bradley called NetLinx. This is an open network architecture which uses a combination of network services with a common wire-independent protocol, as well as open software interfaces to help ensure the efficient flow of your information and control data up and down your organization seamlessly.

Kendall Electric also provides RF-based devices, industrial modems for communication systems, Industrial Ethernet Switches which operate under extreme conditions, PLC Network Cards, Industrial Network Servers, and DeviceNet diagnostic tools.
