PROSOFT Output Module - PLX51-DF1-MSG DF1 Messenger DF1 to EtherNet/IP

The PLX51-DF1-MSG is configured using the ProSoft PLX50 Configuration Utility. This program can be downloaded from www.prosoft-technology.com free of charge. The PLX50 Configuration Utility offers various configuration methods, including a controller tag browser. Hereafter the PLX51-DF1-MSG will be referred to as the module. The module can operate in both a Logix “owned” and standalone mode. With a Logix connection, the input and output assemblies will provide additional diagnostics information which will be available in the Logix controller environment. The module uses isolated RS232 for DF1 communication providing better noise immunity. The RS232 port also uses a terminal block for convenient installation. The module can also be used in systems with redundant DF1 pathways. A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation, including the display of received DF1 communication packets, without the need for any additional software.
