CrossTalk is a new, intelligent protocol bridge for interconnecting dissimilar, control system networks, says its maker. The product allows the integration of otherwise incompatible control systems into a single backbone network, such as Ethernet™ for HMI applications. Applications involve hvac, SCADA, and process automation, as well as providing manufacturers of packaged equipment universal compatibility with popular network standards, says the manufacturer. The product is compatible with any Modus-based network, as well as a wide range of industry standard equipment, and provides a simple-to-install, easy-to-use means of unifying incompatible control systems, it says. — CW Industries Lakewood, CO
