PLX32-EIP-MBTCP PROSOFT

Product Dimensions：

The core purpose of a ProSoft Basis Unit is to provide the physical and electrical framework for a communication or specialty module. This includes a backplane interface to connect with a host controller (like a ControlLogix or CompactLogix processor), a power supply connection, and an enclosure to protect the internal electronics. The functional capabilities are determined by the specific module that is installed into or connected to the basis unit. A basis unit itself doesn't perform a control function; it's a foundation for a specific communication or application module.

• Functionality: A basis unit's primary role is to act as a carrier for a communication or processor module. It provides power, a physical connection to the backplane, and a housing. It enables the communication module to exchange data with the host PLC processor, allowing for seamless integration of devices using different protocols.

• Types: ProSoft offers a variety of basis units depending on the host platform. For example, there are in-chassis basis units that fit directly into a Rockwell Automation rack (e.g., ControlLogix or CompactLogix), as well as stand-alone, DIN-rail mounted gateway units. The specific part number and functionality are determined by the communication module it supports (e.g., Modbus, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP).

• Key Features:

• Backplane Connectivity: Provides a high-speed data path to the host controller's memory.

• Power Supply: Accepts a range of input voltages, typically 24V DC.

• Robust Enclosure: Designed for industrial environments, with ratings for temperature, shock, and vibration.

• LED Indicators: Visual cues for power, status, and communication activity.

• Configuration Port: A port (often serial) for connecting a PC to configure the module.

Product Parameters

The parameters of a basis unit are defined by its physical and electrical characteristics.

• Form Factor: Single-slot, in-chassis module compatible with a specific Rockwell Automation rack (e.g., 1756, 1769) or a DIN-rail mountable enclosure.

• Power Supply: Typically 24 VDC nominal, with an allowed range (e.g., 10-36 VDC).

• Current Load: Current drawn from the backplane and/or external power supply. For example, 800mA @ 5VDC from the backplane.

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

• Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing.

• Shock/Vibration: Rated to withstand industrial levels of shock and vibration, compliant with standards like IEC 60068.

• Dimensions: Specific dimensions determined by the form factor and number of communication ports.

Product Advantages

The main advantage of using a ProSoft basis unit is its ability to provide a seamless, reliable bridge between different industrial networks.

• Simplified Integration: Allows dissimilar devices to communicate as if they were on the same network, simplifying system architecture and commissioning.

• Scalability: The modular design allows for adding communication capabilities as needed without replacing the entire control system.

• Centralized Control: By integrating into the host PLC's backplane, data from remote devices becomes available directly in the controller's memory, simplifying logic and data management.

• Reliability: Engineered for industrial use, these units are highly reliable and robust, ensuring continuous operation.

• Legacy System Support: ProSoft is well-known for providing solutions that allow modern controllers to interface with older, legacy protocols and devices, facilitating phased migration and upgrades.

Important Considerations

• Module Compatibility: The basis unit is only a shell; its functionality is entirely dependent on the specific communication or application module installed. Always ensure the basis unit and module are compatible with each other and with the host controller.

• Power Requirements: Verify that the power supply can handle the current draw of the module and all connected devices.

• Configuration: These modules require proper configuration using ProSoft's dedicated software tools. Incorrect setup can lead to communication errors or data loss.

• Network Design: The overall network architecture, including wiring, grounding, and protocol settings, must be carefully planned to ensure reliable communication.

• Firmware: Keep the module's firmware up to date to ensure the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes.
