1.1 Overview
This document explains the features of the PLX3x gateway. It guides you through
configuration, showing how to map data between a device or network, through
the gateway, to a PLC or PAC. The ProSoft Configuration Builder software
creates files to import into the PLC or PAC programming software, integrating the
gateway into your system. You can also map data between areas in the
gateway's internal database. This allows you to copy data to different addresses
within the gateway database in order to create easier data requests and control.
The PLX3x gateways are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted units that provide one
Ethernet port for communications, remote configuration, and diagnostics. Your
specific gateway may include additional ports depending on the supported
protocols. The module has an SD Card slot (SD card optional) that allows you to
store configuration files that you can use for recovery, transferring the
configuration to another gateway, or general configuration backup.
