SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS
Why spend a year or more trying to properly code a new protocol? You make devices that do all kinds of wonderful things, but you’re not an industrial networking expert, nor should you be. That’s where we come in.
Add Industrial Automation Protocols to Your Devices
Real Time Automation helps device developers expand their industrial communication capabilities with royalty-free, ANSI C protocol source code stacks for Modbus, EtherNet/IP, Allen-Bradley PLCs, DeviceNet and PROFINET IO. These software development kits are written 100% in-house by our Enginerds, giving you direct access to the team that designed, wrote and maintains the source code.
ROYALTY-FREE LICENSING
Ship an unlimited number of units with a single upfront purchase and zero recurring or hidden fees.
FAST DEPLOYMENT
Skip months or years of complex protocol development. Integration takes days in most applications.
BUILT 100% IN-HOUSE
Work directly with the Enginerds who designed, wrote and maintain the code.
SMALL FOOTPRINT
Utilize the smallest code sets available to fit into bare-metal or memory-constrained embedded environments.
CONFORMANCE SUPPORT
Pre-test your device in RTA’s lab to ensure it passes conformance the first time.

Protocol Stack Licensing
Flexible licensing designed to match your product roadmap while keeping your software costs predictable and royalty-free.
SINGLE PRODUCT LICENSE
Allows a royalty-free RTA protocol stack to be used in a single product (SKU).
FAMILY PRODUCT LICENSE
Allows a royalty-free RTA protocol stack to be used in a grouping of similar products (different SKUs) with subtle variations using the same operating system and TCP stack.
