1.1 PLX82-EIP-PNC Overview
The EtherNet/IP™ to PROFINET Controller gateway provides EtherNet/IP-based
controllers the ability to control up to 36 PROFINET RT devices such as field I/O,
drives, HMIs, controllers, etc.
The PLX82-EIP-PNC gateways are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted units that
provide two Ethernet ports for communications, remote configuration, and
diagnostics. The onboard SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing
configuration files that can be used for recovery, transferring the configuration to
another gateway, or general configuration backup.
The gateway supports 248 words of input data and 248 words of output data per
Class 1 connection. The module supports 8 EIP connections and 100 Class 3
EIP commands.

1.4 Setting Jumpers
The jumper settings are located on the back of the PLX82-EIP-PNC. For security
reasons, the Mode 1 and Mode 2 jumpers are not readily accessible. Under
normal conditions, these two jumpers will not be required.
Setup Jumper
Mode 3 is jumpered by default. It is only required for firmware updates.
1.5 Mounting the PLX82-EIP-PNC on a DIN-rail
1 Position the PLX82-EIP-PNC on the DIN-rail B at a slight angle.
2 Hook the lip on the rear of the adapter onto the top of the DIN-rail, and rotate
the adapter onto the rail.
3 Press the adapter down onto the DIN-rail until flush. The locking tab snaps
into position and locks the module to the DIN-rail.
4 If the adapter does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar device to
move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter flush onto the DIN-rail
and release the locking tab to lock the adapter in place. If necessary, push up
on the locking tab to lock.

1.6 Connecting Power
Use the J180 Power Connector to connect to the proper signals.
WARNING: Be sure not to reverse polarity when applying power to the PLX82-EIP-PNC. This
causes permanent damage to the internal power distribution circuits.

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) and ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager is
used to configure the PLX82-EIP-PNC. You can find both software files at
www.prosoft-technology.com.
Important Note: Microsoft .NET must be installed on your PC or laptop used to perform
configuration tasks. This is required for ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager to install and run.
Note: To use the ProSoft Configuration Builder under the Windows 7 OS, you must be sure to
install it using the Run as Administrator option. To find this option, right-click the Setup.exe
program icon, and then click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR on the context menu. You must install using
this option even if you are already logged in as an Administrator on your network or personal
computer (PC). Using the Run as Administrator option allows the installation program to create
folders and files on your PC with proper permissions and security. If you do not use the Run as
Administrator option, the ProSoft Configuration Builder may appear to install correctly, but you will
receive multiple file access errors whenever the ProSoft Configuration Builder is running, especially
when changing configuration screens. If this happens, you must completely uninstall the ProSoft
Configuration Builder and then re-install using the Run as Administrator option to eliminate the
errors.

2.3 Setting a Temporary IP Address
Important: ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) is a built-in utility within PCB. It locates the PLX82-
EIP-PNC through UDP broadcast messages. These messages may be blocked by routers or layer
3 switches. In that case, PDS is unable to locate the PLX82-EIP-PNC.
To use PDS, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router or layer 3 switch between
the computer and the PLX82-EIP-PNC, or reconfigure the router or layer 3 switch to allow the
routing of the UDP broadcast messages.
1 Right-click the PLX82-EIP-PNC icon and select DIAGNOSTICS.
2 When the Diagnostics dialog opens, click on the SETUP CONNECTION icon.
