Overview
The ProSoft Technology 5202-DFNT-MCM4 is an advanced communication gateway designed to solve industrial interoperability challenges. It creates a critical bridge between high-speed EtherNet/IP networks and widely used Modbus RTU serial devices, allowing for centralized control and data acquisition without the need for costly hardware replacements.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual-Function Operation: Functions as both a Modbus Master (to poll data from Modbus slaves like sensors, drives, and meters) and a Modbus Slave (to respond to requests from Modbus masters), offering maximum application flexibility.

• Seamless EtherNet/IP Integration: Appears as a generic EtherNet/IP module within Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000 Logix Designer, simplifying configuration and reducing development time.

• Bidirectional Data Mapping: Efficiently maps data points between EtherNet/IP and Modbus RTU protocols, ensuring real-time and reliable data transfer in both directions.

• Robust Design: Built for harsh industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range and high noise immunity, guaranteeing stable performance.

• Easy Configuration: Utilizes ProSoft's intuitive Configuration Builder Software (CBS) for straightforward setup and monitoring, independent of the PLC programming software.

Technical Specifications:

• Protocol Side A: EtherNet/IP (Scanner/Adapter)

• Protocol Side B: Modbus RTU (Master/Slave)

• Serial Port: 1x RS-232/RS-485 isolated port

• Data Throughput: High-speed data transfer suitable for demanding applications.

• Power Supply: 24V DC (typical for industrial applications).

Typical Applications:
This gateway is ideal for integrating non-EtherNet/IP equipment into modern control architectures. Common use cases include:

• Connecting Allen-Bradley ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLCs to Modbus-based Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).

• Reading data from Modbus energy meters, weigh scales, or process instruments into an EtherNet/IP SCADA system.

• Enabling legacy Modbus equipment to communicate with new EtherNet/IP controlled machinery.
