Introduction to the PLX51-PBM
This manual describes the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the ProSoft
PLX51-PBM PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 Master/Slave module.
The PLX51-PBM allows the user to interface PROFIBUS DP to EtherNet/IP or
Modbus (RTU232, RTU485, TCP/IP).
The PLX51-PBM can either operate as a PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 Master or multiple
PROFIBUS DPV0/DPV1 Slaves. This will allow EtherNet/IP devices (e.g. Rockwell
Logix platform) or Modbus devices to exchange process, alarming, and diagnostic
data with PROFIBUS DP devices as well as provide parameterization and asset
management of slave devices using Device Type Managers (DTMs).
