FEATURES 

 
The PLX51-DF1-ENI is able to transfer data from a DF1 device to a maximum of eight Logix 
controllers. The module operates in one of four modes, simplifying the configuration for all 
applications. 
 

Mode 

Description 

Message Initiator 

Bridge 

The 

PLX51-DF1-ENI 

redirects DF1 PCCC messages to a Logix 

controller at a preconfigured EtherNet/IP path.  
Logix PLC Mapping configuration may also be required.  
This mode also supports remote programming using RSLogix 
5 / 500. 

Remote Device 

DF1 Slave 

The PLX51-DF1-ENI will convert DF1 PCCC messages to Logix 
controller tag reads or tag writes.  
No Logix PLC Mapping configuration is required. 

Remote Device 

Scheduled Tag  The PLX51-DF1-ENI transfers data between a DF1 device and 

a number of Logix tags, using a preconfigured schedule. 

No Logix or remote device configuration is required. 

PLX51-DF1-ENI  

Unscheduled 

The PLX51-DF1-ENI transfers messages received from a Logix 
Message Instruction. 

Logix (Msg) 

 

Table 1.1. – Modes of Operation 

 
The PLX51-DF1-ENI is configured using the ProSoft PLX50 Configuration Utility. This program 
can  be  downloaded  from 

www.prosoft-technology.com

  free  of  charge.  The  PLX50 

Configuration Utility offers various configuration methods, including a controller tag browser. 
 
Hereafter the PLX51-DF1-ENI will be referred to as the module. 
 
The  module  can  operate  in  both  a  Logix  “owned”  and  standalone  mode.  With  a  Logix 
connection, the input and output assemblies will provide additional diagnostics information 
which will be available in the Logix controller environment.  
 
The module uses isolated RS232 for DF1 communication providing better noise immunity. The 
RS232 port also uses a terminal block for convenient installation. The module can also be used 
in systems with redundant DF1 pathways. 
 
A  built-in  webserver  provides  detailed  diagnostics  of  system  configuration  and  operation, 
including  the  display  of  received  DF1  communication  packets,  without  the  need  for  any 
additional software.
