Prosoft PLX32-EIP-SIE EtherNet/IP to Siemens Industrial Ethernet Gateway

Product Brief Description

The Prosoft PLX32-EIP-SIE is an industrial DIN-rail mounted communication gateway for bi-directional high-speed data exchange between EtherNet/IP and Siemens S7 Industrial Ethernet networks. It features two independent Ethernet ports to isolate different subnets without modifying existing device IP addresses. With embedded EDS Add-On Profile and optional SD card for configuration backup, this standalone protocol translator enables seamless integration between Rockwell Automation PAC/PLC and Siemens S7 controllers in mixed-brand automation systems.

Product Functions

• Real-time bi-directional data transfer between EtherNet/IP (Rockwell) and Siemens S7 Industrial Ethernet protocols
• Dual isolated Ethernet ports, supporting separate subnets for each network to improve network security and segmentation
• Support multiple I/O connections with configurable RPI settings for data prioritization of control and status signals
• Embedded EDS AOP file for direct integration with Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000, reducing engineering and commissioning work
• Onboard SD card slot for saving configuration files, fast disaster recovery and easy cloning to replacement hardware
• Full network diagnostics, status monitoring and configuration via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software

Application Scenarios

• Factory automation retrofit projects mixing Rockwell EtherNet/IP PLC and Siemens S7 controllers
• Packaging, material handling and automotive production line cross-brand PLC data interconnection
• Water & wastewater treatment plant distributed control system network integration
• Oil & gas, power and chemical process skid communication between different control platforms
• Data center and building automation system cross-protocol PLC and SCADA data exchange
