ProSoft Technology® inRAx® Message Manager is a single-slot solution that

Connects and transfers plant and factory process automation monitoring and control data between automation islands of different platforms, networks and protocols.

The inRAx Message Manager is an easy-to-use data transfer engine for the ControlLogix™ 1756 platform.

Supports Rockwell Automation® Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) network protocols.

as well as platforms and devices using Siemens Industrial Ethernet and Modbus TCP/IP protocols.

The ILX56-MM helps system integrators and end-users reduce the engineering effort required to coordinate data transfer between multiple control systems in factory and plant automation applications.

The Message Manager enables PLC/PAC data exchange without the need for additional PLC programming for specific messages, simplifying and streamlining data connection and transfer operations.
