ProSoft Technology’s EtherNet/IP™ to Modbus® Serial communication gateway

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

devices and Modbus®-enabled PACs or devices.

EtherNet/IP™ PACs include Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® and

CompactLogix™, as well as several Schneider Electric® controllers. Modbus® Serial

devices are widely used in nearly every industry and include SCADA systems and

Power Monitors.

The gateway includes several features 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 EtherNet/IP® to Modbus Serial gateway offers bi-directional data transfers

between Modbus Serial and the EtherNet/IP network. Our EtherNet/IP Driver 

uses Class 1 I/O connections and/or Class 3 Message instructions.

Protocol conversion gateways are the ideal solution for distributed networks

when adding a remote rack becomes too costly.

The PLX31-EIP-MBS4 gateways are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted gateways

that provide one Ethernet port for communication, allowing for remote 

configuration and diagnostics, and up to four (4) serial communication ports.

The PLX30 gateways also come with an SD Card slot (SD card optional) for

storing configuration files. In the event of a failure the SD card can be

transferred to another gateway reducing downtime. These gateways also

come with a wide input power range (10 Vdc – 36 Vdc), and an extended

temperature range (-25°C to 70°C ). The PLX30 gateways include all the

necessary cables required for communication.

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

PACs or devices and Modbus®-enabled PACs or devices.

ProSoft Technology’s EtherNet/IP™ to Modbus® TCP/IP

communication gateway allows high-speed bi-directional data

transfers between EtherNet/IP™ enabled controllers or devices

and Modbus® TCP/IP controllers or devices. Our Modbus® TCP/IP

driver features multiple client and server functionality, for faster

data transmission.

In addition, the gateway includes several features, including data

prioritization, that allow for simplified integration, reduced

commissioning time and optimized performance.

The MVI69 EtherNet/IP™ Client/server Communication Module allows CompactLogix™ /

MicroLogix™1500 LRP processors to interface easily with EtherNet/IP protocol compatible

devices and hosts. Devices commonly supporting the protocol include PLCs, PACs, field

devices, and host HMI systems.

The module can send read or write commands to remote devices on the EtherNet/IP

network. The module also has 20 servers that allow the module to receive commands from

remote devices. Up to 100 commands can be configured by the user. The Module provides

support for an Ethernet port to be used in applications requiring a separate or dedicated

network.
