In-plant systems (Process Control)
Our Open systems interface with other manufacturers products like SCADA software, water quality instruments and Motor Control Centers giving you the freedom to make the best of class choice for any product without being locked into one manufacturer. SIXNET software tools offer a system wide approach to programming and configuration with a view of the entire network of controllers and RTU's.

Enjoy the ability to start small and expand to thousands of "process quality" I/O modules.
We have many levels of redundancy to guarantee reliable operation. The capability for redundant power supplies and communications pathways has been built into our hardware. Our self healing Ethernet ring topology provides a fast, deterministic and inexpensive method of keeping all devices on a network connected. Our software tools provide automatic mirroring of one controller in a backup.

Municipal Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Techs love our status LEDs on serial ports, Ethernet ports, DIs, DOs, and now on AIs and AOs. A quick glance will usually tell you if everything is operating normally, all without the additional time and hassle of hooking up a laptop.

Remote Terminal Units (RTUs)
SIXNET RTUs combine the functionality of a PLC, datalogger, industrial computer and communications gateway into an intelligent automation solution. These feature-rich Remote Terminal Units are also flexible, expandable, and designed for tough industrial environments. Rugged enough to withstand the worlds’ deserts and frozen tundra, our temperature ratings are second to none.

All SIXNET products have several RS232 ports to interface with a variety of modems and other devices. In addition, SIXNET software includes special support for phone and radio monitored equipment including delays and queuing that make communications more robust.

Replace your obsolete RTU's one at a time without the expense of a completely new SCADA system. The flexibility of our Open Linux OS allows us to emulate many protocols in older RTU's while remaining completely transparent to the rest of the system.

Ultra-reliable Datalogging
Never lose data again. SIXNET offers a wide range of advanced dataloggers designed for capturing your important data in real-time, time-stamping it and saving it to battery-backed memory. SIXNET also provides the powerful Sixlog software that makes it easy to transfer your data from your field installed dataloggers to your supervisory system. This includes client initiated transfers to a secure datalog server, redundant datalog transfers, and more.

Datalogging is configured through an easy to understand wizard - no programming required - that allows you to select which points to monitor and how often. Event triggered or report by exception monitoring can save bandwidth and avoid the security risk of remote polling. Need more security? Use the add-on firewall application with simple Security Rule Wizard configuration.

Vendor managed inventory
Place a SIXNET RTU at each of your customer's sites to provide the value added services that distinguish you from your competition. Control and increase the effectiveness of product delivery. Monitor and datalog product usage and system performance -- with a web browser you prefer. Automatically send product reorder requests. Report back to your central facility over secure communications lines, including firewall protected Internet connections. SIXNET has been the leader in Vendor Managed Inventory systems for the water chemical industry for more than a decade.

Industrial water treatment
We combine datalogging and control into one package. Our integrated modular systems can be placed on skids, and upgrades can be downloaded from remotes sites, saving you a service call. Our dedication to perpetual compatibility ensures that our newest IPm (Linux-based) controllers seamlessly talk to IOMUX RTUs from the 1980’s. SIXNET systems will grow with you; we offer a 20 year support and service policy that guarantees it.

OEM applications
SIXNET has been a favorite among water industry OEMs for many years because of our ability to interface with many different vendors’ equipment. Our truly open systems allow you to accomplish any task for your customer...things that couldn't be done in ladder logic or with difficulty and great expense in a PLC.
