AN-X2-AB-DHRIO PROSOFT

AN-X2-AB-DHRIO PROSOFT Processor module

Product  Description：

PROSOFT processor modules are typically single-slot, in-chassis modules designed to fit directly into the backplane of a host PLC (e.g., Rockwell ControlLogix, CompactLogix, or Schneider Electric Quantum/Unity). They act as high-performance communication gateways, protocol converters, or specialized data managers. Each module contains its own dedicated processor and memory to efficiently manage the communication tasks without burdening the host PLC's CPU. This allows the PLC to focus on its primary control functions while the PROSOFT module handles the intricacies of external data exchange.

Key Functions

• Protocol Conversion: The primary function, enabling communication between the host PLC's native protocol (e.g., EtherNet/IP) and a wide range of other industrial protocols (e.g., Modbus, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DNP3, OPC UA, CANopen, DeviceNet, DF1, HostLink).

• Data Exchange: Facilitating high-speed data transfer between the PLC and connected devices, including data mapping, buffering, and often support for large data blocks.

• Master/Slave or Client/Server Functionality: Modules can act as masters (clients) to poll data from remote devices or as slaves (servers) to respond to requests from other masters.

• Specialized Applications: Some modules are designed for specific applications like gas flow computation (AGA), data logging, or connecting to legacy systems.

• Network Integration: Extending the PLC's connectivity to various network types, including serial (RS-232, RS-485, RS-422) and Ethernet-based networks.

• Diagnostics: Offering built-in diagnostic tools for monitoring network performance, troubleshooting, and configuration.

Product Parameters (Typical)

Parameters vary greatly depending on the specific module and the protocols it supports.

• Host PLC Compatibility: (e.g., Rockwell ControlLogix 1756, CompactLogix 1769, Schneider Electric Quantum).

• Number of Ports: Typically 1 to 4 communication ports (e.g., RJ45 Ethernet, DB9/RJ45 serial).

• Supported Protocols: A wide array, including Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU/ASCII, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS DP Master/Slave, PROFINET IO Device, DNP3 Master/Slave, CANopen, DeviceNet, BACnet/IP, DF1, ASCII.

• Data Throughput/I/O Size: The amount of data that can be exchanged with the host PLC processor (e.g., up to 4000 registers, 1536 bytes of cyclic I/O).

• Backplane Current Load: (e.g., 800 mA @ 5.1 VDC for ControlLogix modules).

• Operating Temperature: Typically 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) for standard modules; extended temperature ranges for XT versions.

• Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).

• Humidity: 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.

• Shock & Vibration: Designed to industrial standards (e.g., 30g operational shock, 5g vibration).

• Configuration Software: Often configured using ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, which can be online or offline. Some modules leverage Add-On Profiles (AOPs) and Add-On Instructions (AOIs) for direct integration into Rockwell's Studio 5000/RSLogix 5000.

• Certifications: UL, CE, ATEX, Class I Div 2, etc., depending on the module and intended environment.

Product Advantages

• Enhanced Connectivity: Bridges the communication gap between disparate industrial equipment, allowing devices from different manufacturers and with different protocols to seamlessly share data.

• Increased PLC Performance: Offloads complex communication processing from the main PLC CPU, allowing the PLC to dedicate its resources to critical control logic.

• Simplified Integration: Many modules come with AOPs and AOIs, simplifying configuration and programming within the host PLC's development environment, reducing engineering time.

• Flexibility and Scalability: Offers a wide range of protocol support, enabling scalable solutions for expanding or modernizing automation systems without a complete rip-and-replace.

• Reliability in Harsh Environments: Built for industrial ruggedness, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions.

• Troubleshooting & Diagnostics: Integrated diagnostic tools facilitate faster network commissioning and easier troubleshooting, minimizing downtime.

• World-Class Technical Support: PROSOFT is known for offering free, global technical support for the life of their products, which is a significant advantage.

Precautions

• Compatibility Verification: Always confirm the module's compatibility with your specific host PLC model, firmware version, and existing network infrastructure before purchase and installation.

• Power and Wiring: Adhere strictly to the module's power specifications and wiring diagrams to prevent electrical damage, noise interference, or safety hazards.

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Handle modules with care, employing proper ESD protection measures (e.g., grounding straps) during installation to prevent damage to sensitive components.

• Hazardous Locations: If installing in hazardous (classified) locations, ensure the module carries the appropriate certifications (e.g., Class I, Div 2, ATEX, IECEx) and follow all associated installation guidelines, including powering off before wiring or replacing modules.

• Configuration Accuracy: Incorrect configuration of communication parameters (e.g., IP addresses, baud rates, slave IDs, data mapping) is a common cause of issues. Double-check all settings.

• Firmware Updates: Periodically check for and apply firmware updates, as these often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and added features.

• Hot-Swapping: Most PROSOFT in-chassis modules are not hot-swappable. Always remove power from the rack before inserting or removing a module unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product's manual to prevent damage to the module, processor, or other connected devices.

Product Applications

PROSOFT processor modules are widely applied in industrial automation across various sectors due to their ability to solve complex communication challenges between disparate systems.

• Oil & Gas: Connecting PLCs to remote terminal units (RTUs), flow computers, and legacy field devices using protocols like Modbus, DNP3, or custom ASCII.

• Water & Wastewater: Integrating PLCs with pump stations, remote monitoring sites, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

• Power Generation & Distribution: Enabling communication between PLCs and protective relays, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), and energy management systems (EMS).

• Manufacturing & Automotive: Interconnecting different machine builders' equipment, robotic cells, vision systems, and enterprise manufacturing execution systems (MES).

• Building Automation: Bridging industrial control systems with building management systems (BMS) using protocols like BACnet/IP.

• Food & Beverage: Connecting processing equipment, packaging lines, and quality control systems for data exchange and centralized control.

• Mining & Metals: Integrating various pieces of heavy machinery and control systems for comprehensive operational visibility.
