Configuring protocol gateways shouldn’t feel like a treasure hunt for an IP address just to locate your PLC.

With the new 435NBX-S2E ASCII gateway hardware platform, there’s a better way.

Simply log in to the browser-based configuration page and use the PLC Discovery feature to automatically find Allen-Bradley PLCs on your network.

No proprietary software, extra hardware modules or chasing down IP addresses. Complete your setup in just a few minutes and start leveraging ASCII data inside your Allen-Bradley PLCs.

Stop wrestling with Micro800 serial ASCII drivers.

When you need to parse an ASCII string from a barcode scanner, scale or RFID readers, configuring custom serial drivers can eat up your afternoon really quick.

Let the new 435NBX-S2E single-port ASCII gateway save you the programming headache.
• Direct, native connectivity to Micro820, Micro850 and Micro870 PLCs
• Zero MSG instructions or custom ladder logic
• Proven two-tag length handshake that keeps your scan time clean
• Brand new hardware platform featuring a single serial port and single Ethernet port

Bridge your serial ASCII devices directly to your A-B controllers with a purpose-built platform designed specifically for single-device applications: https://bit.ly/4tRoHk7

The scariest part of adding a new industrial protocol to your device isn’t writing the code. It’s sending your device to the test lab.

Failing conformance testing costs time, money and momentum. When you buy off-the-shelf source code, you’re usually left reading hundreds of pages of protocol documentation to figure out what went wrong.

When you partner with RTA, you don’t just get a zip file of C code. You get a dedicated team of Enginerds who stay with you until your device is certified:
• Initial code walkthroughs and platform integration guidance
• Custom data modeling support
• Pre-conformance testing in the RTA lab
• An RTA Enginerd to represent your devices at the testing lab

We don't consider the job done until your product is fully certified and shipping.

Spending a year coding an industrial protocol stack from scratch isn’t engineering. It’s reinventing the wheel.

Instead of spending months to years reading dense spec documents, testing edge cases and troubleshooting stack errors, you should be focused on building devices that solve real problems on the factory floor.

That’s where a protocol partner like RTA comes in. RTA protocol source code stacks take integration time down from months to days:
• Pre-built and market-tested ANSI C source code that has already been validated across thousands of real-world applications
• Ready-to-run sample applications to accelerate your initial prototype
• A proven integration process that puts you on a clear path to market and focuses your engineering talent on the features and functions that make your product great

Why spend a year doing what’s already been perfected?

We are thrilled to announce that Real Time Automation’s founder and Chief Strategist, John Rinaldi, has been accepted into the Forbes Technology Council!

Selection into this invitation-only community is based on a track record of driving technical leadership, industry impact and substantial achievements in automation and communication technologies.

For over three decades, John has championed open architecture, authoring six industry-standard books and helping manufacturers simplify plant-floor connectivity. As a member of the Council, John will collaborate with senior tech executives and publish original thought leadership on Forbes.com, focusing on practical digital transformation, edge data standardizing and industrial AI prerequisites.

While modern tech conversations often focus heavily on cloud strategies, successful smart manufacturing begins with solving connectivity and interoperability on the factory floor. We look forward to seeing John bring RTA’s grounded, practical perspective to a broader business audience.

Please join us in congratulating John on this well-deserved milestone!

Per-unit software royalties are a tax on your success.

You already negotiated component pricing down to the penny, optimized your PCB layouts and streamlined assembly to protect your margins. But software licensing costs never scale down.

No matter how efficient your supply chain becomes, recurring fees eat away at your hardware margins.

RTA protocol source code stacks use a simple pricing model: Pay once, ship forever.
That means:
• No ongoing royalties
• No per-device runtime fees
• Unlimited device shipments under your licensed product line

Whether you sell 500 or 50,000 units, software costs should stay in R&D, where they belong.

Think RTA is just a protocol gateway company? Think again.

Many engineers, system integrators and OEMs know Real Time Automation as the simple, one-to-one protocol gateway company with top-tier support. But did you know we also write and license royalty-free embedded protocol stacks?

If you are designing devices for the factory floor, you shouldn’t be wasting 12+ months of engineering time coding EtherNet/IP, PROFINET IO, DeviceNet or other industrial protocol stacks from scratch.

RTA gets your devices network-enabled fast with source code developed 100% in-house and market-tested in over 100,000 real-world applications in devices like PLCs, VFDs, barcode readers and I/O blocks.

Zebra makes the world's best barcode scanners. RTA makes sure your PLC can actually talk to them.

Through our technology partnership, RTA’s ScanDr. combines Zebra’s industry-leading scanners with RTA’s ASCII-to-Allen-Bradley PLC protocol gateways to provide an all-in-one barcode scanning solution:
• Native Zebra and RTA compatibility provides a pre-configured package that gives you a complete barcode scanning solution right out of the box
• Parsed ASCII string data delivered from your Zebra barcode scanner directly to your A-B PLC data table without writing custom logic
• A solution built specifically for Zebra’s industrial-strength hardware and backed RTA’s 35+ years of industrial network expertise

Customizing your machine’s internal architecture for every customer’s preferred PLC brand drains engineering time and bloats production costs.

Whether a customer specifies Allen-Bradley, Siemens or Schneider, re-engineering electrical schematics and rewriting communication routines for every build isn't sustainable.

A modular gateway approach lets you standardize your core machine design while delivering seamless connectivity to any control system.

RTA protocol gateways streamline machine builds for OEMs:
• Standardize your internal hardware and keep your core machine architecture 100% identical on every build
• Adapt to any end-user PLC specification simply by dropping in a pre-configured protocol gateway module
• Eliminate time-consuming custom protocol development and complex driver setup
• Simplify spare parts inventory and field support with a single, repeatable integration framework

Build your machine once and deliver it to any control system without reinventing the wheel.
