July 23, 2008 - The SlotServer ControlLogix Communications Interface Module and EtherNet/IP standalone gateways will be featured in booth 511 at the Automation Fair in Nashville, November 19-20, 2008. FieldServer Technologies' SlotServer ControlLogix interface to building automation and fire alarm control systems has brought together Building Automation systems and Process Control Systems.
