ProSoft Technology’s EtherNet/IP™ to ASCII communication gateway allows high-speed bi-directional data transfers between EtherNet/IP™-enabled PACs and ASCII devices such as weigh scales and barcode readers. The EtherNet/IP™ protocol driver supports the explicit messaging implementation. The gateway is user-configurable as both a client and a server.
EtherNet/IP™ PACs include Rockwell Automation® ControlLogix® and CompactLogix™, as well as several Schneider Electric® controllers. Applications for this module are found in most industries, especially manufacturing, oil & gas, electrical power and food processing.
The gateway has several features that allow for simplified integration, reduced commissioning time and optimized performance.
