EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Slave Gateway

5201-DFNT-DNPS

Discontinued: No new product for sale. More Info
Recommended replacements: PLX51-DNPS

The ProLinx EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Slave Gateway creates a powerful connection between devices on an EtherNet/IP network and DNP master 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 Slave protocol driver supports Slave implementations of the protocol on one port. This port is fully configurable.
