ProSoft Technology AN-X2-MOD Gateway, Ethernet/IP™ to Modicon™ Protocol, RJ45 Ethernet Interface

The EtherNet/IP™ to Modicon™ S908 gateway allows EtherNet/IP™ controllers, such as the Allen-Bradley® programmable automation controller (PAC) and Schneider Electric M580/M340 controllers to monitor or control modicon S908 I/O devices. The gateway allows a phased migration approach to be used when upgrading an S908 based modicon 984, 584 or Quantum™ control system. The gateway provides automatic creation of the S908 scan-list and generates the associated Studio/RSLogix 5000 tags reducing engineering effort. Monitor mode allows verification of your conversion logic using live I/O data without impacting the running legacy system. This feature is especially helpful when migrating existing Modicon systems to new M580/M340 controllers, as the new PLC code can be run in parallel with the existing system to validate the new system. Once the new PAC is commissioned, the legacy I/O can be upgraded one module or one rack at a time as scheduled downtime is available. This gateway minimizes the risk of excessive downtime when upgrading legacy control systems.
