1. PREFACE
1.1. FEATURES
The PLX51-HART-4I can convert up to four analog devices into either EtherNet/IP™, Modbus
TCP/IP®, or DNP3 TCP/UDP protocols. This includes 4 to 20 mA input devices, with or without
HART communications.
The conversion to EtherNet/IP enables a HART device to be added directly into a Rockwell
Automation Logix IO tree. The Modbus TCP/IP option enables a HART field device to be
viewed as a Modbus Server. The DNP3 option converts a HART field device into a DNP3
Outstation. The DNP3 option also supports Secure Authentication, ensuring secure
communications across the Ethernet network.
In addition, a rich collection of process and diagnostic information is provided directly into
Logix, without the use of any explicit messaging. HART commands can also be relayed to the
device using an EtherNet/IP message relay object. A DTM (Device Type Manager) is available,
further simplifying device configuration and management using an FDT frame. A built-in
webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation, as well as
field device specific diagnostics.
The PLX51-HART-4I is configured using the PLX50 Configuration Utility. This program can be
downloaded from https://www.prosoft-technology.com.
Hereafter, the PLX51-HART-4I will be referred to as the module.
