Protocol Conversion and Network Isolation
The PLX82-EIP-PNC operates as an EtherNet/IP adapter and a PROFINET IO Controller. It supports bi-directional exchange between EtherNet/IP PLC systems and PROFINET RT field devices.
Two isolated Ethernet ports separate EtherNet/IP and PROFINET network traffic onto independent physical interfaces and subnets. The specified electrical isolation rating is 1500 Vrms at 50 to 60 Hz for 60 seconds.
Embedded Add-On Profiles and EDS files support configuration within Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000 environments. An onboard SD card provides configuration storage for replacement and recovery procedures.
The gateway supports up to 36 PROFINET devices, with a total PROFINET data capacity of 3840 bytes input and 3840 bytes output.
Protocol conversion latency depends on the configured EtherNet/IP connection count and requested packet interval. The supplied specifications state a minimum RPI of 2 ms for one connection and 8 ms for eight connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the PLX82-EIP-PNC directly control PROFINET RT devices from an EtherNet/IP PLC?
A: Yes. The gateway functions as a PROFINET Class 1 IO Controller while communicating with the EtherNet/IP PLC as an EtherNet/IP adapter.
Q: How many PROFINET devices can the gateway manage?
A: The supplied specification permits up to 36 PROFINET devices, with up to 1440 bytes of input and output data per device.
Q: What mounting arrangement is specified for field installation?
A: The unit is specified for standard 35 mm DIN-rail mounting. Maintain adequate wiring clearance around both Ethernet interfaces and the power terminals.
Field Installation Guidelines
Install the gateway on a mechanically secure 35 mm DIN rail within the specified operating temperature and humidity limits.
Connect the 24 VDC supply within the stated 10 to 36 VDC input range, observing correct polarity and protective grounding requirements.
Route EtherNet/IP and PROFINET cables separately where practical, particularly from high-current switching conductors, motor cables, and other high-noise sources.
Use shielded industrial Ethernet cabling where the network design requires electromagnetic noise control. Terminate cable shields according to the plant grounding scheme and avoid uncontrolled multiple-point shield connections.
Assign the two Ethernet interfaces to their intended network segments. Verify IP addressing, subnet configuration, EtherNet/IP connection parameters, and PROFINET device configuration before placing the gateway into service.
Use the SD card for configuration backup and controlled replacement procedures. Confirm that stored configuration data matches the installed hardware and network topology before recovery.
Do not exceed the specified EtherNet/IP connection limits, PROFINET device count, or I/O data capacities during configuration.
