DF1 Routing Module

PLX51-DF1-ENI

Wondering what you’ll do now that Rockwell Automation has discontinued its legacy 1761-NET-ENI module? ProSoft Technology’s DF1 Routing Module can be used in a similar way.

The PLX51-DF1-ENI module provides EtherNet/IP connectivity for SLC™ 500, CompactLogix™ and MicroLogix™ controllers, as well as many other DF1™- enabled devices

The module can be used for messaging between two controllers, uploading and downloading PLC programs, modernizing HMI’s, or migrating legacy Honeywell systems.
