Prosoft PLX31-EIP-MBS4 EtherNet/IP to Modbus Serial 4 Port

The EtherNet/IP® to Modbus Serial gateway offers bi-directional data transfers

between Modbus Serial and the EtherNet/IP network. Our EtherNet/IP Driver 

uses Class 1 I/O connections and/or Class 3 Message instructions.

Protocol conversion gateways are the ideal solution for distributed networks

when adding a remote rack becomes too costly.

The PLX31-EIP-MBS4 gateways are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted gateways

that provide one Ethernet port for communication, allowing for remote 

configuration and diagnostics, and up to four (4) serial communication ports.

The PLX30 gateways also come with an SD Card slot (SD card optional) for

storing configuration files. In the event of a failure the SD card can be

transferred to another gateway reducing downtime. These gateways also

come with a wide input power range (10 Vdc – 36 Vdc), and an extended

temperature range (-25°C to 70°C ). The PLX30 gateways include all the

necessary cables required for communication.

ProSoft Technology’s EtherNet/IP™ to Modbus® Serial communication

gateway allows high-speed bi-directional data transfers between EtherNet/IP™

PACs or devices and Modbus®-enabled PACs or devices.

EtherNet/IP™ PACs include Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® and

CompactLogix™, as well as several Schneider Electric® controllers.

Modbus® Serial devices are widely used in nearly every industry and include

SCADA systems and Power Monitors. Four ports allow for connectivity of up

to 400 Modbus® Serial devices, reducing the amount of gateways required

for your application.

In addition, the gateway includes several features that allow for simplified

integration, reduced commissioning time and optimized performance.

Features

 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 10.000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data.
