The ProSoft Technology® EtherNet/IP™ to IEC 61850 communication gateway

allows Rockwell Automation® PACs to interface with IEC 61850 Intelligent

Electronic Devices (IED) such as substation power monitors and relays. The

gateway acts as an IEC 61850 Client polling the devices on your network.

The two ports allow the IEC 61850 and EtherNet/IP™ protocols to reside on

separate subnets.

Features

 The supplied configuration software enables you to import all of your

relevant IED tags into your Logix® controller tag database, reducing

configuration time and errors

 Multiple EtherNet/IP™ I/O connections give you large amounts of data

to transfer in a real time environment

 Standards-based identification of device types simplifies implementation

and maintenance

Configuration

Configuration is accomplished through the dedicated PLX82-EIP-61850

Configuration Manager software which can be downloaded from our 

website, www.prosoft-technology.com. The configuration utility automatically

creates the Add-On Instruction to be used in RSLogix™ 5000/Studio 5000™

and brings the data over as configured.

Specifications – IEC 61850 Client

Supports up to 20 IEDs on the network with a maximum of 300 data attributes

each. (max number of data attributes is determined by user configured data

types and size of user configured data points)
