The Embedded Edge Compute Module builds on Rockwell Automation's recent history of enabling computation functionality expanding the power of the ControlLogix® platform. This in-chassis edge solution provides key scalability and remote support functions to today’s workforce. At first release, the Embedded Edge Compute Module enables FactoryTalk® Optix™ software and provides a communication path to REST API, OPC UA, and MQTT to meet the needs of various applications.
The latest firmware update for the Embedded Edge Compute Module introduces the Docker Engine, which enables the hosting and deployment of containerized apps, including Rockwell Automation apps, third-party apps (such as Node-Red and Grafana) and low-code apps allowing users to build, integrate and deploy applications quickly and efficiently. This update significantly enhances the module’s capabilities, emphasizing IT/OT convergence and simplifying control software management.
This module offers flexibility while offering a premier integration experience with the ControlLogix hardware and software ecosystem. The module allows a consistent user experience, with Studio 5000® environment with ControlFLASH Plus™ and FactoryTalk Linx.
The introduction of this module and its continued enhancements offers a level of IT/OT interoperability which allows users to make digitization easier, faster, and scalable, supporting a wide range of applications.
