Prosoft PLX51-PBS PROFIBUS DP Slave to EtherNet/IP™, Modbus® TCP/IP, or Modbus® Serial Gateway

continuous registers in the module for easy configuration and efficient mapping of data

to an attached master device.

PROFIBUS DP Slave

The PROFIBUS DP Slave driver provides a powerful and easy-to-use interface between

a PROFIBUS DP network and other networks.

This slave implementation emulates up to 10 individual nodes on a PROFIBUS DP

network. It allows access to up to 1536 bytes of cyclic PROFIBUS Input data and up to

1536 bytes of cyclic PROFIBUS Output data.

For installations that require more than the 244 byte max cyclic PROFIBUS DP data

exchange, this module allows users to emulate up to 10 nodes, eliminating the need

for complex DPV1 Read/Write messages to a PROFIBUS DP node while improving

data throughput.

Additionally, the module can support the emulation on a PROFIBUS DP network for

some End-of-life legacy ProSoft solutions (5205-DFNT-PDPS, 5205-DFNT-PDPS, and

5105-MCM-PDPS) utilizing a selection in the PLX50 Configuration utility. By supporting

the legacy module Ident number (#05A5), the PLX51-PBS module can be used to

replace legacy ProSoft modules without having to reprogram the PROFIBUS DP master

configuration (note: changes may be required on EtherNet/IP, Modbus, or Modbus

TCP/IP configuration).
