ProSoft PLX31-EIP-PND EtherNet/IP to PROFIBUS DP Gateway
Product Overview
The ProSoft PLX31-EIP-PND is a specialized industrial communication gateway designed to bridge the gap between EtherNet/IP™ and PROFIBUS DP networks. It provides a high-performance, bi-directional path for data exchange, allowing Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® and CompactLogix® controllers to act as masters or slaves in a PROFIBUS environment.
By functioning as a protocol translator, the PLX31-EIP-PND enables modern Ethernet-based PLCs to command legacy or specialized PROFIBUS DP devices such as drives, motor starters, and remote I/O clusters. This gateway is engineered for deterministic performance, supporting up to 125 PROFIBUS devices at speeds reaching 12 Mbps. Its rugged, standalone design and advanced features—like the SD card configuration backup and embedded Add-On Profile (AOP)—make it a reliable choice for critical infrastructure in the power, water, and chemical sectors.
