EtherNet/IP to DNP 3.0 Slave Gateway
5201-DFNT-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.

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.
