PLX51-PBM | PROSOFT PROFIBUS DP

PLX51-PBM PROFIBUS DP Master/Slave to EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP/IP®, or Modbus® Serial GatewayThe PLX51-PBM gateway provides connectivity to EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP/IP®, or Modbus® Serial networks for PROFIBUS DP networks by operating as either a Master or Slave device on the PROFIBUS DP network.For easy integration to a Automation Controller, the gateway and configuration software create dynamic AOI’s based on the user configuration to add logical tag names to the PLC project file. Thus, reducing the overall programming time for EtherNet/IP applications.For configuration of Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus Serial Networks, the module will automatically map PROFIBUS DP data points to registers on a Modbus network.With advanced tools such as PROFIBUS device discovery and a built-in PROFIBUS DP packet capture utility, PROFIBUS DP network commissioning time can be greatly reduced.Dual Ethernet ports of the module can support either DLR (Device Level Ring) topology, or can be used as an embedded switch for flexible installation options.
