601-RIO-MCM PROSOFT

Product Dimensions：

A ProSoft communication gateway or in-chassis module is a robust electronic device designed to provide seamless data transfer between different industrial automation devices, networks, and protocols. It's essentially a protocol converter or a communication bridge that allows disparate equipment to share information as if they were on the same network. These modules are often designed to plug directly into the backplane of a host controller (like a Rockwell Automation Logix processor) or to be mounted on a DIN rail as a standalone unit.

• Functionality: The primary function is protocol conversion. A module might take data from a Modbus network and make it available to an EtherNet/IP controller, or it could connect a PROFINET controller to a PROFIBUS network. This capability is vital for integrating legacy equipment with modern control systems, modernizing facilities, and supporting the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

  Types: ProSoft offers a vast array of modules tailored for specific communication protocols. These include:

• Gateways: Standalone devices that convert protocols between two or more different networks.

• In-Chassis Modules: Cards that plug directly into a PLC's chassis, allowing the main controller to communicate with devices on other networks directly from its own rack.

• Wireless Modules: Industrial-grade wireless hotspots and gateways that enable reliable wireless communication in challenging environments.

• Specialty Modules: Products for specific applications like building automation (BACnet), remote connectivity (cellular gateways), or specific industrial applications (J1939 for automotive).

• Key Features:

• Bi-directional Data Transfer: Most modules allow data to be transferred in both directions, enabling both control and monitoring.

• High-Speed Communication: Designed for fast and reliable data exchange to meet the demands of real-time control.

• Diagnostics: Extensive diagnostics, often available within the host controller's programming environment, to simplify network troubleshooting.

• Configuration Software: Easy-to-use software tools for configuring the module, defining data mapping, and setting up communication parameters.

• Robust Design: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environments, including wide temperature ranges and vibration.

Product Parameters

Product parameters vary significantly by module type, but typical specifications include:

• Supported Protocols: The list of protocols the module can convert (e.g., EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus Serial, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, BACnet, CANopen).

• Data Capacity: The amount of data that can be transferred and stored (e.g., up to 10,000 registers).

• Communication Ports: The number and type of physical ports (e.g., RJ45 Ethernet ports, RS-232/485 serial ports, coaxial connectors for wireless).

• Power Supply: Required voltage (e.g., 24 VDC nominal) and current load.

• Operating Temperature: A wide range, typically from -25°C to 70°C.

• Certifications: Compliance with international standards such as UL, CE, and ATEX.

• Physical Dimensions: Varies significantly between in-chassis modules and standalone gateways.

Product Advantages

• Seamless Integration: ProSoft modules are known for their deep integration with major automation platforms, particularly Rockwell Automation's Logix processors, simplifying setup and programming.

• Modernization and Migration: They provide a cost-effective way to integrate older, legacy equipment with new control systems, allowing for phased upgrades without replacing everything at once.

• Scalability: The modular design allows you to add specific communication capabilities as needed without overhauling the entire control system.

• Reliability: Engineered for industrial environments, these modules offer reliable data communication, reducing network bottlenecks and downtime.

• Simplified Troubleshooting: Comprehensive diagnostics integrated into the main controller's environment save time and effort during commissioning and maintenance.

• Security: ProSoft's remote access solutions are designed with security in mind, offering features like encryption and secure authentication.

Important Considerations

• Protocol Expertise: A deep understanding of the specific protocols being used is essential for proper configuration and troubleshooting.

• Configuration Complexity: While ProSoft's tools simplify the process, setting up complex data mapping between two different protocols still requires careful planning and attention to detail.

• System Integration: Ensure that the module's capabilities and data transfer speeds are sufficient for the application's real-time control requirements.

• Firmware and Software Updates: Keep firmware and configuration software up to date to ensure optimal performance and security.

• Legacy Systems: When connecting to older equipment, be aware of potential protocol variations and limitations of the legacy devices.
