ProSoft Technology’s EtherNet/IP™ to Siemens® Industrial Ethernet communication

gateway allows high-speed bi-directional data transfers between EtherNet/IP™

enabled controllers or devices and Siemens® S7-200. S7-300. S7-400. S7-1200. and

S7-1500 PACs.

In addition, the gateway includes several features, including data prioritization, that

allow for simplified integration, reduced commissioning time and optimized

performance.

Features

 Data prioritization: Multiple I/O connections allow you to set RPIs for status and/or control data, optimizing Ethernet bandwidth.

 Includes an embedded EDS Add-On Profile, allowing for simplified integration and reduced commissioning time.

 Includes a SD card slot (SD card optional) for storing configuration files. This can be used for disaster recovery.

 ProSoft Discovery Service: This utility allows your PC to see the gateway and change its default IP address without being on the

same subnet.

 Secure module configuration via module switch (v1.04 and greater).

 Up to 10.000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data.

The PS69 PROFIBUS DP Master module expands the functionality of ’s

CompactLogix / MicroLogix family of processors to include PROFIBUS. This

module supports both I/O control and messaging, thus integrating DPV0 and DPV1

functionality into CompactLogix / MicroLogix.

The PS69-DPM is a CompactLogix / MicroLogix compatible, PROFIBUS certified

module, which enables controllers to communicate with a PROFIBUS network. The

configuration and diagnostic of the PROFIBUS system is done via the serial

diagnostic interface of the module using the System Configuration tool . The data

exchange between controller and module is done via the I/O process data image

using CompactLogix / MicroLogix backplane technology.

General Specifications

 Single Slot – 1769 backplane compatible

L23E-QBFC1B, 1769-L16x, and 1769-L18x

Remote I/O Adapter

This operating mode allows PLC’s on Remote I/O to share data with a newer ControlLogix or CompactLogix PAC’s.

This mode also allows a ControlLogix processor to monitor Block Transfer and I/O data on an active Remote I/O network without occupying a drop.

Supports up to 16 EtherNet/IP I/O connections to a Logix processor

Supports any combination of Remote I/O rack addressing

Auto-configures rack addressing and baud rate

Bridge Mode

This operating mode allows the module to listen to all messages on an Ethernet network and

use its “BridgeIP” mapping to forward the messages out of the DH+/BH port. 

The messages received on the DH+/BH port can be forwarded to the devices connected to its Ethernet port.

Allows the use of existing Blue Hose cabling for EtherNet/IP communication:

I/O to Controllers

HMI to SCADA

Programming Controllers via PC

Support for up to 64 AN-X4-BRG, each on different Ethernet network

DH+ mode supports up to 230k Baud Rate

Blue Hose mode supports up to 460K Baud Rate

Remote I/O Scanner

This operating mode allows users to replace their existing Remote I/O PLC with a ControlLogix or

CompactLogix PAC without having to replace existing racks of I/O.

Build new controller programs without interrupting existing controls, minimizing downtime

Supports up to 32 racks of Remote I/O

Supports all Remote I/O baud rates (57.6. 115.2. and 230.4 K baud), and Remote I/O addressing 0 to 76 octal

Auto-Configuration utility discovers baud rate and maps discrete I/O, reducing configuration errors
