Product Details
Product Description
The PLX51-DF1-ENI from ProSoft Technology is a compact DIN-rail communication gateway enabling seamless, bi-directional data exchange between DF1-enabled devices (such as PLC-2, PLC-5, SLC, MicroLogix) and EtherNet/IP controllers (including ControlLogix and CompactLogix). Designed as a modern replacement for legacy modules like the 1761-NET-ENI, this gateway supports multiple DF1 communication modes for flexible system integration.
