Prosoft The EtherNet/IP to Modbus Serial Gateway PLX31-EIP-MBS4

• Extended Product Type : Gateway

• Product ID: PLX31-EIP-MBS4

• Prosoft Type Designation : Gateway

Features and Benefits

• Data prioritization: Multiple I/O connections allow you to set RPIs for status and/or control data, optimizing Ethernet bandwidth.
• Includes an embedded EDS Add-On Profile, allowing for simplified integration and reduced commissioning time.
• Includes a SD card slot (SD card optional) for storing configuration files. This can be used for disaster recovery.
• Four serial ports allow for connectivity of up to 400 Modbus® devices, reducing the amount of gateways required for your application.
• ProSoft Discovery Service: This utility allows your PC to see the gateway and change its default IP address without being on the same subnet.
• Secure module configuration via module switch (v1.04 and greater).
• Up to 4000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data.

Applications

The DFNT-MCM modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where EtherNet/IP connectivity can be used to integrate Modbus serial devices into a system. The EtherNet/IP gateway is a powerful module designed with both Client and Server support, enabling easy connection to Rockwell Automation PLCs (CLX, SLC, PLC, CPLX, and similar devices). In combination with the Modbus device support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many Modbus devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace today. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food Processing.
