Connect Allen-Bradley PLCs to Your S7 PLCs
The 460ETCSC connects up to five Allen-Bradley PLCs to five Siemens S7 PLCs.
With the 460ETCSC, you are making a direct connection between S7 PLC data and user-defined tags or registers in the data table of your Allen-Bradley PLC. There is no polling from the PLC or EtherNet/IP scan lists to arrange.
How Do I Use 460ETCSC in My Application?
You allocate two blocks of tag/register in your Allen-Bradley PLC: one area for reads one for writes. Those locations are mapped to corresponding memory block addresses in your S7 PLC.
It’s really that simple. Need to modify your data as it passes from one protocol to the other? No problem. Each data mapping you apply can be modified with up to three mathematical functions.
Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?
While there are certainly other companies offering protocol gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.
When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24-hour wait.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
