PROSOFT PLX32-EIP-MBTC
1. Product Overview
The PLX32-EIP-MBTCP is a hardware communication gateway designed to solve the “language barrier” between automation equipment from different manufacturers. It enables seamless connection between Schneider’s Modbus TCP/IP devices (such as inverters and sensors) and Rockwell’s EtherNet/IP devices (such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix), realizing real-time data interaction.
Core Function: Supports bidirectional communication between two mainstream industrial protocols without changing the IP address of on-site equipment.
Application Scenarios: Suitable for projects that need to connect Schneider PLCs or inverters to Rockwell control systems.
2. Parameters and Technical Specifications
Communication Ports
- EtherNet/IP Port: 1 independent Ethernet port (for connecting Rockwell devices).
- Modbus TCP/IP Port: 1 independent Ethernet port (for connecting Schneider devices).
- RS-232/RS-485: Some models (such as PLX31) may be equipped with ports for serial device connection.
Register Support
Supports large-scale data exchange and can access up to 4000 – 10,000 16-bit registers (depending on the firmware version).
Power Requirements
24V DC power supply, complying with the standard electrical specifications of industrial on-site.
Dimensions and Installation
Dimensions are approximately 114×99×40mm. It adopts a modular design and is suitable for standard DIN rail or cabinet installation.
3. Product Features
- Dual Subnet Function: The gateway has two completely independent built-in Ethernet ports, allowing EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP devices to operate in different subnets without interfering with each other.
- Data Priority Management: Supports data priority function. Users can set the transmission priority of key data to ensure that data with high real-time requirements (such as safety switch status) is guaranteed.
- Embedded EDS File: Built-in EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) file for EtherNet/IP, simplifying the device identification and configuration process in the Rockwell Studio 5000 environment.
- High Security: Some models support Security Layer, which can handle the transmission of security data.
4. Installation and Maintenance
Installation
- Physical Installation: Adopts standard industrial modular structure, supports DIN rail fixation or cabinet wall mounting, and is easy to install.
- Electrical Connection: Connect 24V DC power supply to ensure correct polarity and voltage range.
- Network Connection: Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to connect to on-site Ethernet switches or directly connect to devices.
Configuration
- PC Software Configuration: Use ProSoft’s PC configuration tool (such as ProSoft Configuration Utility) to set the communication mapping table (that is, “which register is mapped to which address”) on the PC.
- PLC Configuration: Add the gateway device in Rockwell’s Studio 5000 environment and import the EDS file to identify its data structure.
Maintenance
- Firmware Upgrade: Supports remote firmware upgrade via Ethernet to improve communication performance or fix known issues.
- Diagnostic Function: Read the gateway’s status registers through the PLC program, or observe the fault indicator lights on the gateway to quickly locate communication errors (such as IP conflicts and network disconnections).
