System compatibility

PLX31-EIP-ASCII4 belongs to ProSoft PLX31 series standalone protocol gateway.

Connect Rockwell ControlLogix,CompactLogix and other EtherNet/IP PAC controllers with multiple ASCII serial devices.

Each serial channel works independently,support barcode scanner,weighing scale,serial printer,RFID reader and other ASCII instruments.

Work as client or server,bi-directional data exchange.

Suitable for packaging,food & beverage,manufacturing,oil & gas,water plant multi serial instrument networking renovation and spare replacement.

Function

Realize bidirectional data conversion between EtherNet/IP CIP protocol and 4-channel serial ASCII.

Four independent configurable serial ports,each port support RS232/RS422/RS485 hardware selection.

2500V isolation on every serial channel,protect EtherNet/IP control network from field surge and ground loop interference.

Customizable ASCII framing,delimiter and inter-character timeout for each channel.

Embedded EDS file for easy integration in Rockwell Studio5000.

SD card slot for configuration backup and quick module replacement.

ProSoft Discovery Service for IP assignment and remote diagnosis.

Map multi-channel serial ASCII data into PLC controller tag area separately.

Installation

Mount gateway on DIN rail,connect 24VDC power supply.

Select serial hardware mode via internal jumpers for each channel.

Wire serial cables to multiple ASCII field instruments.

Connect Ethernet cable to EtherNet/IP PLC network.

Configure framing and data mapping by ProSoft configuration software.

Check LED indicators after power-on.

Interface

110/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45,4terminal block serial ports,power terminal,SD card slot,LED indicators:PWR,ERR,CFG,MS,NS,TX,RX.

Feature

Compact DIN rail industrial standalone gateway,wide operating temperature.

4 isolated serial channels,save cabinet space when connecting multiple serial devices.

2500V galvanic isolation between each serial field side and EtherNet/IP control network.
