August 5, 2009 - The SlotServer ControlLogix Communications Interface Module and EtherNet/IP standalone gateways will be featured in booth 528 at the Automation Fair in Anaheim, November 11-12, 2009. FieldServer Technologies' SlotServer ControlLogix gateway to building automation and fire alarm control systems has brought together Building Automation systems and Process Control Systems.

FieldServer Technologies has been providing Building Automation gateways to enable BACnet, LonWorks, Metasys and Fire Alarm devices and networks to interface to open protocol networks for many years. The FieldServer name is highly respected in both the building automation and process controls industries as a quality gateway supplier.
