5100 Blue Fusion - A new approach to control
The 5100 series is part of Control Technology Corporation?s Blue Fusion family of automation controllers, combining fully configurable I/O, motion control and enterprise connectivity into a single compact package - at a price that?s lower than many non-networking controllers. With built-in 10/100 Base T Ethernet, the 5100 supports the protocols that put your devices on the Web over secure connections, including:
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), the standard protocol used to transport information over Internets and Intranets to any standard desktop browser.
- SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), a powerful new crossplatform protocol for data exchange and control in a distributed environment.
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), a standard protocol for transporting email messages to conventional and pager-based email systems.
- RMI (Remote Method Invocation), a Java-based messaging protocol that provides users with web-based read/write access to controller variables using Java and JavaScript. Users can monitor, diagnose, and modify controller parameters remotely over secure connections, reducing support travel costs and downtime. Remote access also enables engineering resources to support multiple sites concurrently from a single location, increasing effectiveness.
