EtherNet/IP to PROFINET Device 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.

A conformal coating option is available for this product.
