ProSoft PLX32-EIP-PND Industrial Protocol Gateway
I. Product Brief Description
An industrial bidirectional protocol conversion gateway that enables the conversion between two major industrial Ethernet protocols, namely EtherNet/IP and PROFINET; it features dual network interfaces that are electrically isolated from each other and belong to different subnets, eliminating network interference. Without the need for programming, it can complete real-time I/O cycle data interaction and non-periodic parameter reading and writing, suitable for connecting Rockwell (AB) PLC and Siemens PLC across-brand control systems, and installed in standard DIN rail enclosures

Core Product Performance
Bidirectional Seamless Protocol Conversion
Periodic real-time I/O data used for equipment interlock, speed regulation, closed-loop control; non-periodic communication used for parameter modification, fault reading, program debugging, two transmission modes run in parallel without conflict.
Dual Network Physical Isolation Architecture
Both sides of the network are completely independent network segments, electrical isolation to prevent surge, interference, broadcast storm, avoiding mutual influence of Siemens and Rockwell two control system networks, improving industrial control network security level.
Visual Flexible Data Mapping
Complementary configuration software drag-and-drop configuration of address mapping, no need to write code; supports various data formats such as bits, bytes, words, double words for free conversion and adaptation.
Complete Equipment Diagnosis and Maintenance
Multiple LED indicators on the panel: power, two-way communication, fault, link status real-time display; supports remote fault diagnosis, communication link monitoring; SD card can be一键 exported configuration， quick re-use of parameters for equipment replacement.
Industrial Harsh Operating Conditions Adaptation
Circuit board can be selected for three-proof coating， resistant to oil， moisture， dust environment； anti-vibration and impact design， suitable for power plant， metallurgy， mining mobile equipment control cabinets.
Broadcast Storm Suppression
Built-in network control mechanism， resisting Ethernet broadcast storm， ensuring long-term continuous stable operation.
