EtherNet/IP to ASCII communication gateway PLX31-EIP-ASCII

ProSoft Technology's EtherNet/IP™ to ASCII communication gateway provides a high-speed bidirectional data transfer solution between EtherNet/IP™ enabled PACs and ASCII devices such as scales and bar code scanners. The gateway's EtherNet/IP™ protocol driver supports an explicit message implementation that users can configure as a client or server as needed.

The EtherNet/IP™ PACs family includes Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™, as well as a variety of Schneider Electric® controllers. This module has a wide range of applications in several industries, especially manufacturing, oil and gas, power and food processing.

The gateway has several features that simplify the integration process, reduce debugging time, and optimize performance. The following are its main features and advantages:

Data priority setting: Supports multiple I/O connections, allowing users to set RPIs for status and control data, thereby optimizing Ethernet bandwidth.

Embedded EDS Add-On profile: Simplifies integration and reduces debugging time.

SD card slot (optional) : Used to store configuration files, which can be used in disaster recovery.

ProSoft Discovery Service: This utility allows your PC to view the gateway and change its default IP address without being on the same subnet.

Security configuration of the module switch (v1.04 and later) : Ensures the security of the module configuration.

Large data exchange capability: Up to 10,000 16-bit registers are supported and can be used to exchange large amounts of data.

In summary, the PLX31-EIP-ASCII gateway provides strong support for industrial communications with its efficient, flexible and secure data transmission capabilities, and is an indispensable component in modern production lines and complex network environments.
