Q1: What is the primary function of the PLX32-EIP-PND?
It is a protocol gateway that enables bi-directional data transfers between EtherNet/IP controllers (e.g., Allen-Bradley ControlLogix/CompactLogix) and PROFINET IO controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1500/1200). It allows seamless communication without requiring changes to device IP addresses, using two independent Ethernet ports on separate subnets .
Q2: How many EtherNet/IP and PROFINET connections does the gateway support?
EtherNet/IP: 8 Class 1 I/O connections; 5 Class 3 server connections
PROFINET: Class A Device with 1440 bytes IN / 1440 bytes OUT
Q3: What software is required to configure the gateway?
The gateway is configured using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software. For integration with Rockwell Automation systems, an embedded EDS Add-On Profile (AOP) allows automatic recognition in Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000, enabling setup without ladder programming .
Q4: Is the PLX32-EIP-PND certified for industrial networks?
Yes. The gateway is ODVA Approved and holds PROFINET v2 certification with PROFINET Class A compliance. It has been field-tested with multiple PROFINET controllers from multiple vendors to ensure interoperability .
Q5: What should I check if the gateway loses connection with the PROFINET controller?
Common troubleshooting steps include:
Industrial-grade Ethernet connectors – Poor quality RJ45 connectors can cause intermittent connection issues with Siemens devices; use Siemens-approved connectors
Network switch – Verify the switch is functioning properly and not causing packet loss
Device name/IP configuration – Ensure the device name and IP address in the gateway match the TIA Portal project settings
Power cycle – Unplugging and reconnecting the Ethernet cable may temporarily restore connection.
