ProSoft PLX31-EIP-MBTCP EtherNet/IP to Modbus TCP/IP Gateway
Product Overview
The ProSoft PLX31-EIP-MBTCP is an industrial-grade communication gateway designed to facilitate high-speed, bi-directional data exchange between EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus® TCP/IP networks. It acts as a bridge, allowing Rockwell Automation® controllers (ControlLogix® or CompactLogix™) to seamlessly interface with Modbus TCP/IP field devices such as power meters, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and remote I/O.
By utilizing a robust internal database of up to 10,000 16-bit registers, the PLX31-EIP-MBTCP ensures efficient handling of large data sets. The module supports multiple simultaneous client and server connections, providing the flexibility needed for complex multi-device architectures. With integrated features like data prioritization and an embedded EDS Add-On Profile, this gateway reduces engineering overhead and optimizes Ethernet bandwidth for critical industrial control tasks.
