Ethernet and Serial Gateways

The PLX30 Ethernet and Serial Gateways from ProSoft are solutions for connecting end devices to an EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP network. The gateways offer real-time, bi-directional data transfers between devices on dissimilar networks. They are stand-alone, DIN-rail mounted gateways that provide one Ethernet port for communication, remote configuration and diagnostics and up to four isolated serial ports. The gateways also come with an SD Card slot for storing configuration files. In the event of a failure, the SD card can be transferred to another gateway reducing downtime. Each gateway delivers fast real-time data acquisition, flexible communication methods, disaster recovery support, remote configuration and diagnostics as well as a wide input power and extended temperature range. Each EtherNet/IP gateway features multiple I/O connections, client and/or Server capability, a 4,000 word database, CIP and PCCC Messaging, Add-On-Profiles for RSLogix 5000/Studio 5000 v. 20 and above.
