Rockwell Automation Expands Visualization Offering, Provides Customers Greater Reliability, Security<\/b><\/p>\n

New VersaView 6300 industrial PCs and thin clients allow users to create a single, secure and dependable visualization system<\/i><\/p>\n

MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nRockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) announced today the release of new industrial PCs and software to markedly improve the reliability and security of visualization applications. Visualization systems are often among the most expensive plant floor systems to maintain and are a common target for unauthorized users looking to access control system assets and intellectual property.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe new industrial Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300 PCs<\/a> and thin clients combine with FactoryTalk View<\/a> human-machine interface (HMI) software and ThinManager<\/a> thin-client management software to create a complete visualization system. Thin clients are computers connected remotely to a server storing applications, rather than using a local hard drive. For mission critical applications, users can deploy ThinManager redundancy or a VersaView 6300 PC running local and remote applications to help ensure reliability if server communications are lost.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, unlike most industrial PCs, each model in the VersaView 6300 family is individually designed to minimize or remove frequent points of failure like fans and connectors, helping reduce costs and extend the life of the PC.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThese new industrial PCs and the ability to create a more reliable and cost-effective visualization system are the result of our acquisition of ASEM S.p.A., an Italy-based provider of automation technologies,\u201d said Dan DeYoung, hardware business director, Rockwell Automation. \u201cWe\u2019re also working to bring the acquisition to fruition in other valuable ways, such as by offering greater customization and breadth to our industrial computers and expanding remote connectivity options.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nCustomers can enhance cybersecurity when they use the new industrial PCs with ThinManager software. Multiple PCs with locally stored applications spread across a plant floor can increase the attack surface and security risks. ThinManager software allows applications to run and be maintained from a central and secure location.\n<\/p>\n

\nAdditionally, when users acquire both the visualization hardware and software from one source, support is simplified. This can reduce the headaches, costs, and mean time to repair that typically come from working with multiple vendors for support issues. Users can also save money by taking advantage of the flexible content delivery methods and simplified licensing that are available from a Rockwell Automation-based system.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe new Allen-Bradley VersaView 6300B box PCs and thin clients deliver dependable performance and are available in multiple options to match user application needs. Other benefits include:\n<\/p>\n
