PLX32-MBTCP-104

Modbus TCP/IP to IEC 60870-5-104 Gateway

Integration of Modbus TCP/IP ® products into IEC 60870-5-104 networks can be a challenge, but not with ProSoft Technology ’s

PLX32-MBTCP-104 gateway.

The gateway has dual Ethernet ports, providing the option to have one Ethernet port communicating on both Modbus TCP/IP and IEC

60870-5-104 networks, or independent communication ports for each protocol.

The gateway provides powerful communications on the Modbus

TCP/IP network, operating as either a Client or a Server to various devices such as PLC’s, Drives, HMI’s and various other equipment supporting the Modbus TCP/IP protocol.

On the IEC 60870-5-104 side of the communications, the gateway operates as a server, accepting commands from client devices such as a SCADA system or DCS system.

Features

Up to 10,000 words of user-defined memory to share data between IEC 60870-5-104 and Modbus TCP/IP networks

Up to 1000 points of each supported ASDU type can be exchanged on the IEC-60870-5-104 network

Modbus TCP/IP support as both Client (Master) and Server (Slave)

Ability to operate using one Ethernet port, or 2 individual Ethernet ports

Upload, Download, Diagnostics via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) via an Ethernet connection

Configurable Common ASDU address (sector) and Information Object Address for IEC 60870-5-104 application

Optional support for SD card for configuration storage (Sold separately)
