Features:
- Multiple EtherNet/IP I/O connections with configurable RPIs
- One configurable Modbus Serial application port
- Up to 10,000 16-bit registers
PLX31-EIP-MBS combines EtherNet/IP messaging with one configurable Modbus Serial channel in the PLX31 ordering configuration.
The gateway can move control and status data through separate EtherNet/IP I/O connections, allowing different Request Packet Intervals for selected exchanges.
Select the serial electrical mode, Modbus role, node addressing, command mapping, and 24 VDC installation conditions before commissioning PLX31-EIP-MBS.
The ProSoft PLX31-EIP-MBS EtherNet/IP to Modbus Serial Communication Gateway is listed as Active / Available from OEM. Apter Power provides quotation and protocol-matching support.
