About the Linking Device
2.1
Features
The EtherNet/IP to Modbus-TCP linking device provides a seamless connection between an Allen-
Bradley Programmable Controller (PLC) by Rockwell Automation on EtherNet/IP and a Modbus-
TCP network. It features:
•
User interface integration in Studio 5000
The configuration manager for the gateway is included in an add-on profile (AOP) for Studio
5000 and does not have to be installed separately. All network and device level
configuration is done in Rockwell Studio 5000.
•
Tag level configuration
The user configures the tags used in the PLC when configuring the gateway. Process data is
automatically mapped from Modbus-TCP to EtherNet/IP without manual work.
•
Automatic backup of configuration
The state of the configuration is automatically stored in the Studio 5000 project when the
configuration manager is closed, and will be retrieved next time the configuration manager
is opened.
The AOP is supported by RSLogix 5000 version 20 and later.
The linking device consists of an intelligent gateway platform, a Modbus-TCP network interface
and an EtherNet/IP network interface. The gateway connects the two network interfaces, and
forwards data from one to the other.
The linking device enables transparent data transmission between the two networks, by letting
the client on the EhterNet/IP network control the Modbus-TCP network servers.

2.2
Data Consistency
The linking device ensures data consistency within all connections on the EtherNet/IP side, and
within each command on the Modbus-TCP side. The EtherNet/IP side and the Modbus-TCP side
are not cyclically synchronized.
There is one assembly in each direction per connection in this linking device.
