Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLC backup software without the file-share chaos
Automated, signed backups for ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix, Studio 5000. Diff two versions side by side, restore in seconds, and prove configuration integrity on the Rockwell side of your plant.
How VEM handles Rockwell
VEM connects to Rockwell controllers through the Studio 5000 Logix Designer toolchain and CIP/EtherNet-IP, capturing ACD project files, tag databases, FactoryTalk View HMI configuration, motion and safety routines. ControlLogix, CompactLogix, GuardLogix and MicroLogix are all supported. See the broader VEM platform for how this fits alongside testing, validation and audit.
Baseline comparison and one-step rollback for Logix-family controllers — clear deviation reports between approved and running versions, not raw file dumps.
