Modbus Plus to EtherNet/IP Communication Module

5303-MBP-DFNT

Product Description

The ProLinx family Modbus Plus to EtherNet/IP communications module (5303-MBP-DFNT) creates a powerful connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and a Modbus Plus device. The module is a stand-alone DIN rail-mounted protocol gateway that provides one Modbus Plus configurable DB9F port and one Ethernet port.

Product Applications

The MBP-DFNT modules are the ideal solution for the many applications where EtherNet/IP connectivity can be used to integrate a Modbus Plus device into a system. The EtherNet/IP gateway is a powerful module designed with both Client and Server support, enabling easy connection to Rockwell Automation PLCs (CLX, SLC, PLC, CPLX, and similar devices). In combination with the Modbus Plus support, the module provides a very powerful interface to the many Modbus Plus devices which are in use in the industrial marketplace today. Applications for the module are found in most industries, especially the Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Electrical Power and Food Processing.

Functional Specifications

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 File

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

Modbus Plus Port Specifications

The Modbus Plus (MBP) protocol driver operates as a single, peer-to-peer Modbus Plus port with dual media-redundant connectors. The two connectors cannot be configured as separate MBP ports. They are for physical cabling redundancy only.

EtherNet/IP 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. (Implicit Messaging (I/O communications) is not supported)
