PROSOFT PLX31-EIP-MBS
The PROSOFT PLX31-EIP-MBS (also known as PLX31-EIP-MBS4) is an industrial-grade EtherNet/IP (EIP) to Modbus Serial (Modbus RTU/ASCII) communication gateway. It is primarily designed to connect Rockwell Automation’s ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and other controllers supporting the EtherNet/IP protocol (such as Allen-Bradley PLCs) with traditional Modbus serial devices (including Modbus RTU sensors, meters, legacy PLCs, etc.).
1. Core Overview and Main Functions
- Protocol Bridging: Establishes bidirectional communication between the EtherNet/IP fieldbus (PNU network) and Modbus serial network (RS-485/RS-232), enabling transparent data transmission.
- Data Conversion: Supports mutual mapping between EtherNet/IP I/O (CIP Data Tables) and Modbus function codes (FC01-FC04, FC05-FC06, FC15-FC16, etc.).
- Compatibility: Compatible with Allen-Bradley’s ControlLogix and CompactLogix series PLCs, commonly used for upgrading obsolete Modbus systems or integrating new controllers into traditional Modbus field environments.

3. Key Features
- High-Speed Bidirectional Communication: Supports bidirectional data transmission between EIP and Modbus TCP/IP with a data transfer rate of up to 10/100 Mbps, meeting real-time control requirements.
- Security: Equipped with RADIUS security features, ensuring network communication security through advanced authentication and encryption technologies.
- Flexible Configuration: Comes with ProSoft Configuration Builder software, enabling flexible configuration of the module’s network parameters, communication rate, port mode (RTU/ASCII), etc.
- Powerful Data Processing Capability: Supports read/write operations for up to 10,000 16-bit registers, suitable for large-scale data exchange.
- Integrated Management: Built-in SD card slot for storing configuration files, and supports ProSoft Discovery Service for IP address scanning and remote configuration.
4. Structure and Composition
- Physical Interfaces: Typically includes one RJ45 Ethernet interface and one DB9 (or M8) serial interface.
- Internal Chips: Integrates dedicated protocol conversion chips and microprocessors for executing the EtherNet/IP CIP stack and Modbus protocol stack.
- Firmware and Software: Built-in configurable firmware, which users can configure through ProSoft tool software on a PC.
5. Typical Application Areas
- SCADA System Integration: Integrates modern PLC systems with traditional Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
- Data Acquisition: Collects data from on-site Modbus sensors (temperature, flow, pressure) and uploads it to the EtherNet/IP network for monitoring.
- System Upgrade: Upgrades the core controller of the control system to Rockwell’s ControlLogix or CompactLogix without replacing on-site Modbus devices.
- Power Monitoring: In the power industry, connects obsolete Modbus power monitoring devices with modern control systems.
