Woodhead Releases New Version of SST PROFIBUS Scanner for Allen-Bradley ControlLogix & Honeywell PlantScape Controllers

           Supports PROFIBUS DP Master V1 and Remote Access

   Woodhead Industries, Inc., (NASDAQ:WDHD) a designer and
manufacturer of industrial communication products for the global
automation market, has announced the release of a new version of its
SST PROFIBUS Scanner for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or Honeywell
PlantScape controller (part number SST-PFB-CLX-RLL).
   This new release supports PROFIBUS DP-V1 and additional PROFIBUS
baud rates (i.e. 31.25 / 45.45 kbit/s), enhancing the SST PROFIBUS
Scanner's use in PROFIBUS PA networks through a PROFIBUS PA segment
coupler.
   Another new feature for the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controller
is the added support of the Remote Link Library (RLL) software
allowing you to remotely monitor or download changes to your PROFIBUS
configuration. This is done by routing data from the SST PROFIBUS DP
Master Configuration software through Rockwell Automation's RSLinx
software via Ethernet to the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix backplane.
   Woodhead is an active member of PROFIBUS International and
provides a complete line of PROFIBUS connectivity solutions through
its gateways, diagnostic tools, network interface cards, PLC interface
modules, physical media, and I/O modules.
