ProSoft PLX31-EIP-SIE Industrial Ethernet Communication Gateway

Engineered for seamless industrial connectivity, the ProSoft PLX31-EIP-SIE acts as a bridge between EtherNet/IP networks and ASCII-compatible devices. This gateway excels in environments where legacy systems meet modern automation architectures, reducing communication bottlenecks while maintaining rock-solid reliability. We’ve seen clients in automotive manufacturing and oil & gas sectors leverage its capabilities to synchronize PLCs with older serial-based sensors without compromising data integrity.

We frequently deploy this gateway in scenarios requiring real-time data harmonization across mixed-vendor systems. One chemical processing plant used it to integrate Siemens S7-1200 PLCs with legacy Allen-Bradley PanelView HMIs through Modbus ASCII. The embedded EDS profile simplified Rockwell Studio 5000 integration, while configurable RPIs (down to 2ms) kept their high-speed bottling lines synchronized.

For critical applications like turbine monitoring systems or pharmaceutical batch control, we recommend pairing this gateway with our Triconex 3703X safety modules or Bently Nevada 3500 vibration monitoring systems. Our inventory covers complementary hardware from ABB AC500 PLCs to Schneider Modicon Quantum processors, all available with same-day shipping from our 16 global warehouses.
