The 5100 series is part of Control Technology Corporation’s Blue Fusion Family of web based 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)
* SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
* SMTP (Simple Mail Message Transfer Protocol)
* RMI (Remote Message Invocation)
* Modbus/TCP
In addition to multi-protocol support, the 5100 also supports XML and SQL, two of the most widely used standards used for sharing information across databases throughout the enterprise.
This combination enables IT professionals to rapidly integrate business and manufacturing systems on both a networking and a software level for true web enabled automation
