The EtherNet/IP gateway is a powerful module designed with both client and server support, enabling easy connection to Rockwell Automation PLCs (CLX, SLC, PLC, CPLX, and similar devices)In combination with the modbus device support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many modbus devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace todayThe ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information internal databaseThe internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another networkThe data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols, the database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devicesCommands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the databaseStatus data area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each portConfiguration data area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration, this configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area24 VDC nominal, 18 to 32 VDC allowed, positive, negative, GND terminals, 2.5 mm screwdriver blade power supplyPower and module status, application status, serial port activity, serial port error status LED indicatorsDB-9M RS-232 only no hardware handshaking configuration serial port10 base-T half duplex RJ45 connector, link and activity LED indicators, 1500 Vrms at 50 Hz to 60 Hz for 60 s electrical isolation, EtherNet broadcast storm resiliency equals less than or equal to 5000 frames/sec and less than or equal to 5 minutes durationModbus plus connector two DB9 female standard modbus plus connectors are application ports2500 Vrms port signal isolation per UL 1577, 3000 VDC minimum port to ground and port to logic power isolation serial port isolationModbus plus to modbus TCP/IP gateway5.20 in H x 2.73 in W x 4.52 in D extended
