Can a network panel integrate with my existing PLC and SCADA systems?

Yes. Adgo network panels are designed in-house alongside the PLC and motor control panels in the same shop, so the network architecture matches the protocols, addressing scheme and reporting requirements your existing PLC and SCADA system already uses, including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and OPC UA.

Industrial protocol compatibility is the first design constraint on a plant network panel. The panel must move packets in the exact dialect your controllers and historian expect.

  • EtherNet/IP and PROFINET: Adgo configures managed switches for the QoS, multicast filtering and VLAN tagging these deterministic protocols require.
  • Modbus TCP and OPC UA: Gateway devices bridge legacy serial Modbus or proprietary PLC traffic to a modern SCADA layer.
  • Addressing alignment: Switch port assignments, static IPs and DHCP scopes are documented to match the existing PLC and SCADA tag database before factory test.
  • Cybersecurity posture: Managed switches enforce port security, MAC filtering and OT/IT segmentation per IEC 62443 guidance.
  • If/then: If SCADA polls at sub-100 ms intervals, then the network panel is specified with industrial-grade managed switches rated for non-blocking line-rate forwarding to prevent dropped reads.
