Modbus TCP/IP to EtherNet/IP Gateway

5201-MNET-DFNT

Active Mature: Product is fully supported, but a newer product or family exists.
For new applications use the PLX31-EIP-MBTCP

The ProLinx Modbus TCP/IP Multi-Client to EtherNet/IP Gateway creates a powerful connection between Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP networks. The module provides one Ethernet port.

The ProLinx Modbus TCP/IP (MNETC) Multi Client driver can be used to interface many different protocols into the Schneider Electric Quantum family of processors as well other software solutions supporting the protocol.

  • 5 MNET Modbus TCP/IP servers (port 2000)
  • 5 MBAP Modbus TCP/IP servers (port 502)
  • One Modbus TCP/IP Client (MNET or MBAP ) connection supports up to 100 commands

The addition of the WEB hardware option provides the following additional features:

  • 2 HTTP servers
  • 1 mail client
  • 1 FTP server

Internal Database

The ProLinx module contains an internal database that consists of areas for application data, status information, and configuration information.

The internal database is shared between all ports on the module and is used as a conduit to pass information from a device on one network to one or more devices on another network.

Application Data Area

The data area is used to store and retrieve data by the protocol drivers and for data exchange between protocols. The database is used as a source for write commands to remote devices and holds data collected from the remote devices. Commands defined in the configuration file (stored in the configuration data area) control how the data is to be handled in the database.

Status Data Area

This area is used to store error codes, counters, and port status information for each port.

Configuration Data Area

This area contains module configuration information such as port configuration, network information, and command configuration. This configuration file is downloaded to, or uploaded from, this area.

Protocoles

DFNT Protocol Specification


The EtherNet/IP protocol driver supports the Explicit Messaging implementation of the protocol. User-configurable as both a Client and a Server, the EtherNet/IP port is a very powerful data transfer tool.


Protocol Specifications

The EtherNet/IP protocol is one of the primary connectivity tools to the different Rockwell Automation platforms. The Explicit Messaging aspect of the protocol (only) has been implemented in the ProLinx units to provide the data transfer link between the ProLinx units and the Rockwell Automation hardware.
