The PLX51-DNPM can be configured to operate in these modes:

 Master – The PLX51-DNPM communicates to DNP3 slave devices

and transfers the data to an EtherNet/IP- or Modbus-based PLC.

 Data Concentrator – The PLX51-DNPM will act as a master and

outstation. The module will be a master to other DNP3 slave devices

and then an outstation to the DNP3 SCADA Master.
