Core Description

The PLX32-EIP-MBTCP is a ProSoft Technology industrial communication gateway featuring high-speed bi-directional data transfers between EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP networks. Fully compatible with separate subnets, this stand-alone unit works seamlessly with Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric PACs to deliver simplified integration and stable industrial network communication.

Configuration

Embedded EDS Add-On Profile: Streamlines network setup by loading a built-in Electronic Data Sheet configuration file straight into Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000 software environment.
Dual Isolated Subnet Bridging: Configures the two onboard physical Ethernet ports to run across separate subnets, enabling seamless data routing without changing device IP address schemes.
Flexible Diagnostic Backup Slot: Features an external hardware slot supporting an optional SD card to save software configuration parameters for rapid disaster recovery or cloning.
Secure Module Protection Switch: Integrates a structural protection switch (on firmware versions v1.04 and greater) to physically lock out unauthorized remote software edits.

Ordering Information

Part Number	Item Description	Network Communication Profile	Shipped Standard Components
PLX32-EIP-MBTCP	EtherNet/IP to Modbus TCP/IP Gateway	Dual Ports / Dual Isolated Subnets	Includes 1 Standalone Gateway, 1 J180 Power Block, and 1 2.5 mm Terminal Screwdriver.

Features and Benefits

Bi-Directional High-Speed Transfers: Unlocks rapid communication loops between mixed control topologies like Rockwell Automation and Schneider Electric PAC networks.
Massive Parameter Memory Block: Accommodates large-scale industrial data structures by handling up to 10,000 internal 16-bit data registers within the module core.
Multi-Client Server Versatility: Increases communication throughput by supporting up to 10 Modbus clients alongside 5 MBAP and 5 encapsulated Modbus servers concurrently.
Optimized I/O Prioritization: Employs multiple concurrent Class 1 I/O connections, enabling engineers to set individual RPI timings down to 5 ms for critical status or control paths.
Granular Command Diagnostics: Translates up to 160 fully configurable client commands while logging individual error codes per command string for rapid troubleshooting.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ

Q1: What are the primary environmental thresholds and structural mounting rules for this gateway?

A: The PLX32-EIP-MBTCP is engineered for standalone, vertical 35mm DIN-rail installation inside industrial automation panels. The internal computing hardware is specified to work across a broad operating temperature range of -25°C to 70°C (-13°F to 158°F) and a relative humidity band of 5% to 95% with zero condensation. For proper installation, each unit is shipped with an optimized 2.5 mm wiring screwdriver and a heavy-duty J180 power adapter plug.

Q2: What are the strict input power limitations and electrical current load ratings for field wiring?

A: External power distribution is routed via the removable J180 plug which breaks out standard Positive, Negative, and Ground terminals. While the gateway operates on a nominal supply of 24 VDC, its internal power regulator tolerates an input voltage sweep from 10 to 36 VDC. Under nominal 24 VDC conditions, the card consumes a current load of 300 mA, but the supply circuit must be engineered to handle a maximum current peak of 610 mA when dropping down to 10 VDC.

Q3: How do I map legacy data tables from older Allen-Bradley controllers over to Modbus register addresses?

A: The integrated EtherNet/IP driver provides exceptional backward compatibility, supporting legacy PLC2, PLC5, SLC, and MicroLogix platforms alongside modern ControlLogix and CompactLogix PACs. It interprets standard PCCC and CIP message profiles, executing explicit 0x4C (CIP Data Table Read) and 0x4D (CIP Data Table Write) services. Up to 100 commands can be mapped per Client, allowing users to define command type, IP address, word count, and target Modbus register locations.
