EtherNet/IP™ to PROFINET®
Gateway for dual subnets
PLX32-EIP-PND

The EtherNet/IP to PROFINET device gateway offers bi-directional data

transfers between a PROFINET Controller and EtherNet/IP networks. The
PLX32-EIP-PND gateway is a stand-alone DIN-rail mounted unit that provides
two Ethernet ports, with each port using a different subnet.

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. The EtherNet/IP Driver uses Class 1
I/O connections or Class 3 Message instructions. The PROFINET driver
operates as a PROFINET Class A device.

Features
 ODVA Approved
 PROFINET v2 certification with PROFINET Class A compliance
 EtherNet/IP and PROFINET certifications ensure the device is compatible with their respective network
 Field-tested with multiple PROFINET controllers from multiple vendors
 Remotely view and diagnose EtherNet/IP and PROFINET networks
 Embedded EDS AOP provided to allow for seamless integration to Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000
 Using EtherNet/IP I/O connections, no ladder programming is required
 Multiple I/O connections to allow for increased throughput
 Video setup tutorial provided on www.prosoft-technology.com
 Secure module configuration via module switch (v1.04 and greater) 
 Up to 10,000 16-bit registers can be used to exchange large amounts of data
