Allen-Bradley Suite

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley Suite is a collection of Allen-Bradley drivers that have been bundled together for users’ convenience. It supports multiple protocol networks, seamlessly connecting a wide range of Allen-Bradley PLC and motion controllers to HMI/SCADA, MES/Historian, ERP, IoT, and custom OPC client applications—enabling Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things.

The Allen-Bradley Suite is especially helpful for users in the Manufacturing Industry, where various Allen-Bradley products are often used in the process, assembly, robotics, packaging, and material handling phases of the manufacturing process.

Kepware maintains a longstanding relationship with Rockwell Automation. This ensures that drivers remain compatible with legacy, current, and future Allen-Bradley equipment—as well as new firmware versions. As part of Rockwell Automation’s PartnerNetwork Encompass Program, Kepware has a reputation for delivering products that provide the highest level of connectivity to the Rockwell Automation architecture.
