 A DCS Platform for OEMs

IPm is the ideal platform for system integrators and OEM solution providers to build their unique solutions. SIXNET’s Scalable Control Systems (SCS) let you combine these pre-integrated hardware and software modules to create advanced process control, SCADA and DCS system solutions.

Give Yourself a Competitive Edge
SIXNET offers numerous ways to distinguish the products you deliver to your customers:

Off-the-shelf SCS / Process Control Solutions
Like any good control product, SIXNET modules can simply be installed in the SCADA and control systems that you design and build. The difference is that a SIXNET IPm system can do so much more. With its LINUX-based core, an IPm controller supports redundant networking, provides Internet connectivity, and gives you the flexibility that only a truly open system can provide. Distinguish yourself from your competition by delivering more functionality and higher performance with an IPm LINUX-based automation system.

Private Label SIXNET Products
Many OEMs distinguish their products by private labeling SIXNET modules. Putting your own name on your control modules tells your customers that you offer complete support and leads them to call you for their future service requirements.

Application Enhanced Systems
IPm has LINUX inside. Add third party software to your systems or take advantage of the open-source environment and create your own application program or product enhancement. SIXNET has made it easy to customize an IPm
controller. We recommend that you use the industry standard LINUX tools.

Protecting Your Proprietary Software
The LINUX operating system itself is licensed to be open-source to insure that you have design flexibility. The proprietary software that you develop is your property – and you are free to protect it and license it for use in any manner that you choose. Many OEMs tell us that they do not like ladder logic because they cannot hide (or protect) their proprietary programs. In an IPm controller, you can supply any or all of your software as executable programs, with no obligation to share the source code. LINUX programs are easily protected in the same way you protect any C language program.

SIXNET Partners Become Your Partners
SIXNET partners with “best of breed” hardware and software vendors. We work together with our partners to insure that our products integrate seamlessly and that we add value to each other’s products and services. When you become a SIXNET partner, you gain an extended family of compatible products from other  SIXNET partners that can also become part of your OEM offering. SIXNET will connect you to our other partners and help you benefit from the power of partnering. Perhaps we can help you market your OEM products as well?

SIXNET offers a suite of powerful industrial controllers, complete with redundant Ethernet networks and advanced SCS features to form the central element of your real-time plant floor systems.
