Core Communication Bridge Function

The Woodward SST-ESR2-CLX is an advanced Modbus network interface module. It creates a seamless communication bridge between Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplanes and external systems. This module specifically connects to networks like the Honeywell Plantscape distributed control system. Consequently, it enables efficient data exchange with various PLCs, RTUs, and industrial controllers.

Dual Protocol and High-Speed Connectivity

This interface supports both Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and Serial Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols. It features two independent serial ports for connecting to two separate devices simultaneously. The SST-ESR2-CLX delivers high-performance data transfer rates up to 42 Mbps. Furthermore, its modular design allows for simple installation directly into a ControlLogix chassis slot.

Technical Specifications and Key Features

Engineered as a backplane module, it integrates cleanly into existing ControlLogix architectures. Its dual-protocol support eliminates the need for additional gateways in many applications. The following table details its primary communication and integration specifications.

Application Benefits and Integration Value

This module significantly improves communication between disparate devices within a control system. It simplifies the integration of new equipment into established Allen-Bradley architectures. The Woodward SST-ESR2-CLX offers greater design flexibility for creating sophisticated control networks. Therefore, it reduces implementation complexity and potential system downtime.
