Prosoft 5201-DFNT-MCM EtherNet/IP to Modbus Master/Slave Gateway
The Prosoft 5201 - DFNT - MCM is a gateway device that enables communication between EtherNet/IP and Modbus Master/Slave networks. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Model and Name: The model is 5201 - DFNT - MCM, and it is a product of Prosoft. It is designed to solve the problem of protocol conversion and data interaction between different industrial communication networks.
- Application Scenarios: It is widely used in industrial automation systems, such as factories, power plants, and chemical plants. It can be applied to programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, distributed control systems (DCS), and other control systems, and is used to connect devices with different communication protocols to achieve seamless communication and data exchange.
- Protocol Conversion: It supports the conversion between EtherNet/IP and Modbus Master/Slave protocols, allowing devices on different networks to communicate with each other. It can map the data and commands of the EtherNet/IP network to the Modbus protocol format and vice versa, realizing the interoperability of different protocols.
- High - speed Communication: It has a high - speed communication interface that can support data transmission rates of up to 100 Mbps, ensuring fast and efficient data exchange between networks. It can meet the real - time requirements of industrial control systems and ensure the timely transmission of control commands and data.
- Configuration Flexibility: It can be configured through software to meet different application requirements. Users can set parameters such as communication port, baud rate, data bit, and stop bit according to the actual situation. At the same time, it also supports the configuration of multiple Modbus slave devices, which can be flexibly connected to different Modbus - enabled devices.
- Reliable Operation: It has a built - in watchdog timer and error - handling mechanism to ensure the stability and reliability of the device during operation. In the event of a communication error or device failure, it can automatically recover or send an alarm message to ensure the normal operation of the system. In addition, it also has good electromagnetic compatibility and anti - interference performance, which can work stably in harsh industrial environments.
