Prosoft PLX51-DNPS Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) Gateway

The PLX51-DNPS gateways provide intelligent routing between DNP3

(Distributed Network Protocol) and either EtherNet/IP™ or Modbus®

protocols. The gateways support Ethernet and Serial communications.

PLX51-DNPS gateway is the DNP3 Outstation or Slave.

The PLX51-DNPS is configured using the ProSoft Technology PLX50

Configuration Utility.

The PLX51-DNPS allows the user to integrate DNP3 devices over a

secure link into a Logix system with minimal effort. No copying or

mapping of data in the Logix controller is required as the PLX51-DNPS

writes directly into Logix tags.

The PLX51-DNPS allows users to integrate the gateway into a Modbus

TCP/IP or serial network. The gateway supports Modbus TCP/IP Client

and Server and Modbus RTU protocols.

The PLX51-DNPS module provides DNP3 Secure Authentication 5 which

enables the user to connect DNP3 devices to a Logix platform securely.

The module also provides a range of diagnostics, statistics and a DNP3

traffic analyzer to assist with fault-finding.
