Prosoft PLX31-PND-MBS4 PROFINET® Device to Modbus® Serial Gateway with four serial ports

The PROFINET device to Modbus Serial gateway offers bi-directional data

transfers between a PROFINET Controller and Modbus serial (RTU and

ASCII) devices. Each Modbus 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-MBS4 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.
