Prosoft PLX31-PND-MBS PROFINET® Device to Modbus® Serial Gateway

The PROFINET device to Modbus Serial gateway offers bi

directional data transfers between a PROFINET Controller and

Modbus serial (RTU and ASCII) devices. The serial port can be

configured as either a Modbus master or slave. The PROFINET

interface operates as a PROFINET Class A device (slave).

The PLX31-PND-MBS gateway is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted

unit that provides Ethernet connectivity for network

communications, remote configuration, and diagnostics. The

onboard SD Card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing

configuration files that can be used for recovery, transferring the

configuration to another gateway, or general configuration backup.
