EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Master Gateway
5201-DFNT-DNPM
The ProLinx EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Master Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and DNP Slave devices. This stand-alone DIN-rail mounted protocol gateway provides one Ethernet port and one serial port. 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.
The DNP 3.0 Master protocol driver supports Master implementations of the protocol on one port. This port is fully configurable.

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 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.

Protocols
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.
| General Protocol Information |
|
| Messaging |
PCCC on CIP |
| Miscellaneous |
125 word read and write data lengths |
EtherNet/IP Server Specifications
In Server mode, the module accepts commands from one or more clients to read/write data stored in the module's internal registers.
| EtherNet/IP Server Specifications |
|
| Connections |
Five independent TCP server sockets permit remote clients to interact with all data contained in the module. |
| Data File |
Data Table File Start - Fixed at N10 |
| CIP Services Supported |
0x4C - CIP Data Table Read |
EtherNet/IP Client Specifications
In Client mode, the module controls the read/write data transfer between the gateway and other EtherNet/IP devices. Data transfer can be initiated and executed without any ladder programming being required in the Rockwell Automation hardware.
| EtherNet/IP Client Specifications |
|
| General |
One client |
| Command List |
Support for 100 commands, each configurable for command, IP address, register to/from addressing and word/bit count. |
