When a copper Ethernet connection fails, the challenge is determining whether the problem is in the cabling, network configuration, switch port, or PoE delivery. ⚡

LinkXpert TP gives technicians one tool to test wiremap and cable length, detect link speed, identify switch ports, test PoE loads up to 90 W, and perform active diagnostics including DHCP, DNS, ping, traceroute, VLAN, LLDP, and CDP. Configurable test profiles and comprehensive documentation help standardize testing and produce consistent results across installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting workflows.

For contractors, network technicians, and maintenance teams working with copper Ethernet infrastructure, LinkXpert TP is a practical addition to the field toolkit.

What’s next for industrial connectivity in the PointMax I/O architecture? ⚙️

Get a sneak peek at what we’re bringing to Rockwell Automation, Inc.'s Automation Fair:
https://industrial.softing.com/us/news/industrial-blog/connect-with-softing-at-automation-fair-2026.html

Softing is heading to Rockwell Automation Fair 2026 in Boston, where we’ll showcase industrial communication, data integration, network connectivity and monitoring solutions at Booth #1161.

One of this year’s key previews is our expanding PointMax I/O communications portfolio, with in-chassis communication modules being developed for DeviceNet, CANopen and Modbus TCP/IP. These upcoming solutions are designed to bring established industrial networks directly into the PointMax I/O architecture while simplifying integration, migration, commissioning and network maintenance.

And that’s only part of what we’ll showcase in Boston. From PLC data integration and automated machinery health monitoring to DeviceNet migration, redundant fiber Ethernet networking and industrial network testing, Softing brings together solutions designed for real-world automation and connectivity requirements.

We look forward to connecting with you!

Thank you to everyone who connected with the Softing IT Networks team at National Electrical Contractors Association - NECA in Las Vegas! ⚡

Throughout the show, we met with electrical contractors, industry partners, and NECA members to discuss the growing role of network connectivity and structured cabling in electrical infrastructure projects.

From certifying copper and fiber cabling to verifying network connectivity, troubleshooting installations, and documenting test results, Softing provides testing solutions that help contractors move from installation through project turnover with the information they need from the field. We also enjoyed putting the WireXpert MP, LinkXpert, and other Softing IT Networks solutions directly into the hands of attendees and discussing the testing requirements they encounter on the job.

If we connected at NECA, let’s keep the conversation going. Explore our product finder for cable certification, qualification, and network testing: https://itnetworks.softing.com/us/products/product-finde

We look forward to supporting your next cabling infrastructure project.

Getting production data from the PLC into enterprise systems should not require another PC-based middleware layer. Softing eATM tManager® for CompactLogix® provides direct bidirectional connectivity between CompactLogix PLCs and Microsoft SQL or Oracle databases, with MQTT connectivity available for cloud applications including AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub.

Installed directly in the CompactLogix chassis, tManager handles data transactions without custom coding or OPC protocol translation. This gives controls and automation teams a direct path for applications such as production monitoring, analytics, track and trace, recipe downloads, dashboards, and process optimization. Store-and-forward capability provides local buffering when database connectivity is interrupted, while transaction logging and time-stamped data support operational visibility and audit requirements.

🔴 Fiber faults can be difficult to locate without the right tool. The CableMaster VFL uses visible red laser light to help technicians identify fiber breaks, verify continuity, locate fiber ends, and confirm Tx/Rx polarity in single-mode and multimode fiber.

Its compact, roll-resistant design, one-handed operation, and support for common 2.5 mm connectors make it a practical addition to any fiber technician’s toolkit. With an optional 1.25 mm adapter for LC connectors and approximately 40 hours of operation in flashing mode, it is built for efficient troubleshooting across data centers, industrial facilities, outside plant environments, and other fiber installations.

Build network redundancy into the PLC network, without adding unnecessary configuration complexity.

🎬In this walkthrough, Joel Austin highlights the OCX hardware and shows how fiber status, network traffic, backplane communication, network health, and intermittent faults can be monitored directly at the module.

Softing's Phoenix Digital OCX Networking Module provides ControlLogix® systems with an in-chassis solution for redundant fiber Ethernet networking. The OCX combines a redundant fiber backbone with copper Ethernet connectivity for field devices, onboard network diagnostics, and straightforward configuration designed for control engineers.
