Networx bridges the gap between the control room and the field. With a variety of connectivity components for every major protocol, Networx takes charge of the critical physical layer between field devices and the control system. Networx enables you to link devices safely and economically in every process environment and application.
Networx is a single source for ‘best-in-class’ products. The Networx portfolio is a collection of the best products available from a variety of sources. With all the leading products under one umbrella, Networx delivers the finest quality and most extensive selection all from a single source.
Networx complements your control system. Since Networx is a neutral solution, it works well with all major process control systems available today, including ABB, Emerson, Honeywell, Invensys, Rockwell, Siemens, Smar, and Yokogawa systems. In fact, several of these companies frequently recommend our products and services to help meet their customers’ needs. |
| Masters & Gateways |
 |
Masters provide control functions for sensor level bus networks and devices. Gateways provide the necessary protocol translation that enables the connection of sensor level busses to higher level busses.
Gateways become a node on the higher-level network and a Master for the sensor level bus. Masters and Gateways allow users the flexibility to easily deploy multiple fieldbus networks that correctly match their device and application requirements.
With Masters and Gateways, end-users may eliminate the cost of having multiple home run network cables from the Control System to the field devices, while still deploying cost-effect sensor bus devices in the field.
Masters and Gateways perform the following functions:
- Initialize the network
- Identify field devices
- Diagnose the network
- Control field devices

| I/O Modules, Tees & Disconnect Switches |
 |
Often there is a need to connect conventional (non-bus) devices to a network. Our Input/ Output modules do just that by enabling users to connect conventional analog and discrete devices to their industrial fieldbus networks.
I/O Modules allow users to cost-effectively use new or existing conventional devices in their fieldbus design.
Wiring Tees make it easy to connect field devices to bus lines using wire terminals or plug-in connectors.
Disconnect Switches enable users to repair or replace a field device, without disturbing the network, with the simple flip of a lever-operated switch.
I/O Modules, Wiring Tees and Disconnect Switches are available as stand-alone products or inside HazLink connectivity enclosures. |

| Connectivity Junctions |
 |
Most bus networks were originally designed to be used for factory automation rather than process automation. Therefore, in the process industries there has been a need for easy, cost-effective ways to make wiring connections in hazardous areas.
Our products are rugged connectivity enclosures that provide flexible wiring options in hazardous areas.
Options include:
- I/O Modules
- Wiring Tees
- Disconnect Switches |
|
| Power Supplies & Repeaters |
 |
TopWorx provides power supplies to meet every field network requirement. Since each bus protocol has its own power and data specification, TopWorx offers the appropriate power supplies required for the intended protocols.
Our selection includes:
- Bulk power supplies for control system and device level power needs
- Bus-level power supplies and conditioners for network communications isolation
- Repeaters for extending network power and communication limits |
|
| Cables, Connectors & Cordsets |
 |
Proper wiring, termination, and connectivity are the framework of any bus or network solution. Since the vast majority of networking problems occur at the physical layer, the proper wiring and connection techniques help to keep your fieldbus network robust and problem free.
Whether you choose plug-in style connections or terminal screw connections, TopWorx offers a vast selection of connectivity options to meet your needs. We offer bulk cabling, field installable connectors, linking modules, tees, terminators, and pre-molded cordsets that meet the specifications of your fieldbus network. |
