ProSoft PLX31-EIP-SIE Ethernet Gateway

ProSoft PLX31-EIP-SIE is an Ethernet/IP to Siemens Industrial Ethernet communication gateway. It enables high-speed bidirectional data transmission between EtherNet/IP-enabled controllers or devices and Siemens S7 series PLCs, and is widely used in industrial automation. The following is a detailed introduction:

Communication function: Supports Ethernet/IP (CIP) and S7 protocols (ISO 8073), can facilitate bidirectional data transmission between Ethernet/IP and Siemens Industrial Ethernet networks, and realizes communication between Siemens PLCs and other Ethernet/IP devices such as SCADA systems and HMI.

Data transmission rate: Data transmission rate is up to 100Mbps (Ethernet/IP), which can meet the real-time requirements of industrial automation applications.

I/O connection capacity: Can handle up to 255 I/O connections (Class 1, Class 3), allowing simultaneous communication with various Ethernet/IP and Siemens devices.

Data Prioritization: Supports RPI (Relative Priority Indicator) for data prioritization, which can prioritize data transmission according to user-defined settings to ensure that critical data is processed first.

Configuration Convenience: With embedded EDS add-on profiles, automatic device configuration is possible, simplifying integration with Siemens S7 PLCs. The ProSoft Discovery Service utility can also be used to view the gateway on a PC and change its default IP address without being on the same subnet.

Storage Capability: Equipped with an SD card slot (SD card optional), it can be used to store configuration files for disaster recovery.

Mechanical Design: With a compact DIN rail mounting design, it can be easily installed in control cabinets and panels to save space.

Electrical Specifications: The power supply is 24VDC nominal voltage, with an allowable range of 10 to 36VDC. The operating temperature is -25°C to 70°C, the storage temperature is -40°C to 80°C, and the relative humidity is 5% to 95% RH without condensation, which is suitable for a variety of industrial environments.
