PLX31-PND-MBS4 ProSoft Technology PROFINET Device to Modbus Serial

The PROFINET device to Modbus Serial gateway offers bi-directional data transfers between a PROFINET Controller and Modbus serial (RTU and ASCII) devices. Each Modbus serial port can be configured as either a Modbus master or slave. The PROFINET interface operates as a PROFINET device (slave).

The PLX31-PND-MBS4 gateway is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted unit that provides Ethernet connectivity for network communications, remote configuration, and diagnostics. The onboard SD Card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing configuration files that can be used for recovery, transferring the configuration to another gateway, or general configuration backup.

Features and Benefits
- PROFINET v2 certification with PROFINET class A compliance
-Field-tested with multiple Modbus TCP/IP devices, and PROFINET controllers from multiple vendors
-Remotely view and diagnose Modbus TCP/IP and PROFINET networks
-Remote configuration via the free, intuitive, ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software
-Multiple, simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP client and/or server connections to allow for increased throughput
