The EtherNet/IP™ to Square D® Remote I/O gateway allows an Allen

Bradley® Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) to control Square

D® Remote I/O devices. The gateway minimizes the extended downtime

required for upgrading legacy SY/MAX control systems by allowing a

phased migration. Once the new PAC is commissioned, the legacy I/O

can be upgraded one module or one rack at a time as scheduled

downtime is available.

Features

 The auto configuration feature maps your existing Square D® Remote

I/O points into the PAC controller tags allowing for

simplified integration and reduced configuration time. The gateway also

supports offline configuration through a .CSV file

 EtherNet/IP™ diagnostic data can be mapped into PAC memory making

it available directly to an HMI or SCADA system

reducing troubleshooting time

 Transfers Square D I/O data via EtherNet/IP™ I/O connections for

real-time control

 Multiple EtherNet/IP™ IO connections allow you to set different RPIs for

I/O data and diagnostic data, allowing you to optimize

your Ethernet bandwidth

 MicroSD card is used for storing configuration files for disaster recovery

ProSoft Technology’s Modbus® TCP/IP to Siemens Industrial Ethernet

gateway allows high speed bi-directional data transfers between

Schneider Electric® PACs and Siemens S7 and S5 PACs.

Two ports allow each protocol to reside on separate subnets, allowing

you to pass data between the two subnets without changing each

device’s IP address.

Features

 Two separate Ethernet ports allow each protocol to reside on separate

subnets. This allows you to pass data between the two

subnets without changing each device’s IP address to be on the same subnet.

 In addition to S7 controllers, the gateway can also be used with Siemens

S5 controllers with an appropriate interface.

 Gateway includes a SD card slot (SD card optional) for storing configuration

files. This can be used for disaster recovery.

 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 PROFINET® IO Device (slave) gateway offers bi-directional 

data transfers between EtherNet/IP™ controllers and a PROFINET® IO controller.

The EtherNet/IP™ Driver supports I/O connections for guaranteed data delivery or

Message instructions to send data to/from the PACs. The gateway supports 1440

bytes of input data and 1440 bytes of output data for larger applications.

In addition, the gateway’s multiple I/O connections, allow you to set different RPIs

for control data and module diagnostics, enabling you to optimize your Ethernet

bandwidth.

Features

 Embedded EDS Add-On Profile allows for simplified integration and reduced

configuration time for Rockwell Automation PACs.

 No ladder programming is required when using I/O connections.

 Multiple I/O connections allow you to set different RPIs for status and control

data, enabling Ethernet bandwidth optimization.

 Communication via an I/O connection provides guaranteed data delivery and

enables a PAC to monitor for communication faults.

 SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing configuration files in the

event of a disaster.

 ProSoft Discovery Service allows your PC to find the gateway and edit its default

IP address without being on the same subnet.
