Features:
- Seamless Rockwell PAC Integration via EDS Add-On
- High-Capacity Data Exchange & Bandwidth
- Robust Hardware Design & Secure Disaster Recovery
The ProSoft PLX31-EIP-PND features an embedded EDS Add-On Profile that drastically accelerates configuration and commissioning phases within Rockwell Automation engineering environments. By bypassing complex ladder programming for standard I/O data exchanges, it streamlines system integration and reduces human error during deployment.
Empowering heavy industrial architectures, the ProSoft PLX31-EIP-PND supports massive data packets with 1,440 bytes of input and 1,440 bytes of output capacity. Its multi-connection architecture allows distinct Requested Packet Intervals (RPIs) for control signals versus diagnostics, optimizing overall Ethernet bandwidth utilization.
Designed for extreme environments, the ProSoft PLX31-EIP-PND carries hazardous location ratings including ATEX Zone 2 and UL/cUL Class 1 Div 2 certifications. It features an onboard SD card slot that secures configuration files, allowing effortless device swapping and rapid disaster recovery to virtually eliminate unexpected plant downtime.
The PLX31-EIP-PND ProSoft EtherNet/IP to PROFINET IO Gateway may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Automotive Manufacturing Cross-Platform Integration: Widely deployed in automotive body shops and assembly lines where Rockwell Automation main controllers (ControlLogix/CompactLogix) must seamlessly exchange high-speed production data with Siemens PROFINET-based robotics and drive systems.
- Material Handling and Conveyor Systems: Utilized in large distribution hubs to link EtherNet/IP-based warehouse management controllers with distributed PROFINET-enabled sorting, scanning, and motor-control sub-assemblies.
- Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Applied in municipal plant automation to bridge disparate vendor equipment, ensuring reliable telemetry transfer between SCADA networks, PACs, and remote instrumentation.
- Process Skid Packaging and Modular Machine Building: Enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to design modular machine skids with diverse local control architectures while guaranteeing plug-and-play network connectivity for end-user plant floors.
- Independent RPI Bandwidth Tuning: Empowers control engineers to split control traffic from diagnostic loops by assigning custom Requested Packet Intervals (RPIs) to multiple I/O connections, preventing network bottlenecks.
- Comprehensive LED Visual Diagnostics: Features real-time status indicators for module health (MS), network status (NS), configuration state (CFG), hardware faults (FLT), and Ethernet port link/activity to facilitate instant troubleshooting.
- PLC-Driven Fault Monitoring: Communicates via dedicated I/O connections that enable the master PAC to continuously monitor communication integrity and trigger automated safety interlocks upon network timeout.
- ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) Remote Management: Allows network administrators to locate the gateway across subnet boundaries and dynamically configure IP parameters without requiring direct physical reconnection.
- EDS Add-On Profile Integration: Integrates smoothly with Rockwell configuration suites through official EDS Add-On Profiles, ensuring that firmware parameter definitions map cleanly into controller tags without manual address mapping errors.
- SD Card Configuration Portability: Incorporates an onboard Secure Digital (SD) card slot that stores backup configuration files, enabling instantaneous parameter cloning and firmware/configuration recovery during hardware replacement.
- Robust Broadcast Storm Resiliency: Engineered with internal packet filters that maintain stable operation under high network traffic, withstanding Ethernet broadcast storms of up to 5,000 ARP frames-per-second.
- Structured Command and Data Table Routing: Supports robust command lists (up to 100 configurable commands per client) and CIP/PCCC message structures, ensuring backward compatibility and smooth firmware handshakes across multi-generational controllers.
