WITH MORE THAN 48 YEARS OF experience, Contemporary Controls has been a leader in innovative solutions for industrial automation. Contemporary Controls’ CTRLink products are designed for unattended operation in environments not conducive to office-grade equipment.

The products provide convenient DIN-rail mounting in control panels, 24VAC/DC power, UL 508, improved EMC compliance and reliability. Contemporary Controls’ repeating hub, switches, media converters and IP routers adhere to IEEE 802.3 standards and more. Specialty regulatory needs are addressed in selected models.

Whatever the Ethernet infrastructure need, a solution is available from CTRLink products. For simple systems, plug-and-play unmanaged switches provide a cost-effective method for expanding Ethernet networks. Most models include features such as auto-MDIX and autonegotiation. For demanding applications, managed switches provide features such as VLANs, SNMP, Quality of Service, port security, port mirroring, alarming and cable redundancy.

For troubleshooting, diagnostic switches allows a network sniffer to attach to an unused port on a switch and observe all traffic on the network.

Contemporary Controls’ Skorpion series of IP routers ease the integration of new machines into the existing network. Each machine consisting of multiple IP devices connects to the LAN side while keeping the same IP settings for the devices and the application, lowering installation cost and eliminating trouble shooting.

The IP address for the WAN port on the IP router is the only setting that requires modification allowing multiple machines to reuse the same configuration on the LAN side. Skorpion routers have been successfully used in Robotics, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Packaging and Scientific Equipment.

Utilizing the EIPR/EIGR series VPN routers, Contemporary Controls offers three VPN solutions that deliver secure, remote access—RemoteVPN subscription service, and Self-HostedVPN and BridgeVPN solutions. Hosted on the Internet and maintained by Contemporary Controls, RemoteVPN provides secure communication and the convenience of remote access without having to maintain a VPN server.

Contemporary Controls’ Self-HostedVPN and BridgeVPN solutions allow users to set up and maintain their own secure remote access without subscription fees and without the need for a cloud-based VPN server.

With automation systems, applications vary and can require a special product or need. Contemporary Controls has worked with OEMs in obtaining UL 864 compliance with some CTRLink switches, and can help in other areas such as private-labeling, unique packaging or extreme environmental design.
