ProSoft Technology has introduced a new industrial Ethernet gateway module, 5205-DFNT-PDPS. This module is designed for data exchange between EtherNet/IP and PROFIBUS DP networks, greatly improving the communication flexibility and efficiency of industrial automation systems.

The 5205-DFNT-PDPS module supports an explicit message implementation of the EtherNet/IP protocol and provides PROFIBUS DP V0 slave support, enabling it to communicate with a variety of PROFIBUS DP master devices. Modules can be configured as clients or servers, providing powerful data transmission capabilities for a variety of industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, power, and food processing.

The module has the following technical specifications:

Provides an Ethernet port and a configurable PROFIBUS DP slave DB9F port.

Supports user – configured data mapping and DP port operations.

The baud rate ranges from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s.

Provides 244 bytes of input data and 244 bytes of output data for a total of up to 400 bytes.

Supports PROFIBUS V0 slave station function and uses Siemens SPC3 chipset.

Supports freezing mode, synchronization mode and automatic baud rate setting.

The configurable parameters include the PROFIBUS node address, data byte exchange, and action when the PROFIBUS connection is lost.

In addition, the 5205-DFNT-PDPS module features a robust aluminum housing and independent DIN rail mounting, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial environments. Modules operate from -20 to 50°C, storage from -40 to 85°C, and relative humidity from 5% to 95% (non-condensing).

The 5205-DFNT-PDPS module from ProSoft Technology provides a reliable and efficient communication solution for industrial automation with its efficient data transmission capabilities, flexible configuration options and powerful diagnostic capabilities. Through this module, users can easily realize the conversion between different network protocols and optimize the network architecture of industrial control systems.
