PROSOFT PLX32EIPPND

The PROSOFT PLX32‑EIP‑PND is a dual‑network gateway designed specifically for industrial automation, enabling seamless EtherNet/IP to PROFINET protocol conversion. Equipped with two independent Ethernet ports, it provides bidirectional data communication between EtherNet/IP networks (such as Allen‑Bradley controllers) and PROFINET IO networks.

1. Core Overview

• Protocol Conversion: Solves compatibility issues between EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, ideal for mixed‑protocol industrial environments.
• Dual‑Network Support: Two Ethernet ports connect to separate subnets, enabling cross‑subnet data transfer.
• Embedded EDS: Built‑in Electronic Data Sheet for easy import and configuration within Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000.

2. Key Technical Specifications

• Power Supply: 24V DC, supports external power or DIN rail power connection.
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to 75°C, suitable for harsh industrial conditions.
• Network Interfaces: One 10/100 Mbps RJ45 port per subnet.
• I/O Capacity: 16 digital inputs (DI) and 16 digital outputs (DO).
• Data Transfer: Supports both TCP and UDP.
• Form Factor: Compact DIN‑rail design for easy integration.

3. Product Features and Benefits

• Compact and Durable: DIN‑rail mounted, space‑saving, and built to withstand industrial environments.
• High Compatibility: Integrated EDS and AOP (Automatic Online Parameter) for seamless integration with Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000.
• Status Indicators: LED indicators for power, network, and module status monitoring.
• Global Support: Backed by PROSOFT’s worldwide distribution network, with a 12‑month warranty and professional technical support.

4. Structure and Components

• Core Processor: Dedicated onboard processor and memory for fast protocol conversion.
• Two‑Port Design: Each port connects to a separate subnet, ensuring physical isolation and data security.
• SD Card Slot (Optional): Some versions may include an SD card slot for configuration storage and backup.

5. Typical Applications 

• Mixed Automation Systems: Connecting EtherNet/IP controllers with PROFINET IO devices such as sensors, actuators, and drives.
• Data Acquisition and Monitoring: Serves as a data bridge in IIoT systems requiring cross‑platform data collection.
• System Integration: Integrates equipment from different manufacturers into a unified control system.
• Industrial Robotics: Bridges PROFINET‑based robot controllers with EtherNet/IP peripherals.

6. Installation and Maintenance

• Installation: Standard DIN‑rail mounting; simply snap onto the rail and secure.
• Wiring: Connect Ethernet cables to the respective subnet ports and provide 24V power.
• Configuration:Parameter Storage: Configurations are saved in the module (or SD card) and retained after power cycling.
  • In Studio 5000, import the module using the built‑in EDS and follow the configuration wizard to set IP addresses and other parameters.
• Maintenance: LED indicators assist in troubleshooting. If communication issues occur, check the LEDs and re‑download the configuration if necessary.
