Transparent communication layer
interconnects
Transparent communication layer offers a flexible and open solution for heterogeneous automation control systems allowing interconnection between these systems or even to a superior system.
Taking a close look inside process automation we'll see the use of many different, mostly incompatible systems and products Up to now special solutions for connecting these systems are required for operation

Control engineering software used for SCADA
Control engineering software update is designed for SCADA-specific applications - from control/visualization of small systems up to complex networked system structures.
From now on Pro-DX, the transparent communication layer from ETM offers a flexible and open solution for heterogeneous systems allowing interconnection between these systems or even to a superior system.
Pro-DX is not a protocol, its no interface, its rather a complete solution with existing methodologies for interconnecting heterogeneous systems.
A rigorous simplified interconnection based on a standard communication using XML via TCP/IP is what makes Pro-DX a unique data and event transport solution.
Once engineered, a highly flexible and secure solution is what you can expect.
The Pro-DX concept is based on a standardised software node installed on the respective computer and working as a complete function unit.
All nodes together are the Pro-DX network which, similar to the layers in the OSI model, takes over all basic functions such as automatic data-match, store and forward and redundancy.
After being parameterised Pro-DX works in the background meaning that data and messages are transmitted automatically without intervention.
