Message Manager

The Message Manager allows users to transfer PLC data from OEM equipment without modifying the OEM’s code, providing a unique benefit to system integrators and end users who utilize customized OEM equipment in conjunction with overall process automation schemes. This eliminates the need for access to the OEM source code (which may be locked or unavailable), concerns about affecting the OEM’s machine operation, and/or owning and maintaining other PLCs’ programming software.
