1.1 PLX82-EIP-PNC Overview

The EtherNet/IP™ to PROFINET Controller gateway provides EtherNet/IP-based
controllers the ability to control up to 36 PROFINET RT devices such as field I/O,
drives, HMIs, controllers, etc.

The PLX82-EIP-PNC gateways are stand-alone DIN-rail mounted units that
provide two Ethernet ports for communications, remote configuration, and
diagnostics. The onboard SD card slot (SD card optional) is used for storing
configuration files that can be used for recovery, transferring the configuration to
another gateway, or general configuration backup.

The gateway supports 248 words of input data and 248 words of output data per
Class 1 connection. The module supports 8 EIP connections and 100 Class 3
EIP commands.

1.4 Setting Jumpers

The jumper settings are located on the back of the PLX82-EIP-PNC. For security
reasons, the Mode 1 and Mode 2 jumpers are not readily accessible. Under
normal conditions, these two jumpers will not be required.

Setup Jumper
Mode 3 is jumpered by default. It is only required for firmware updates.

1.5 Mounting the PLX82-EIP-PNC on a DIN-rail

1 Position the PLX82-EIP-PNC on the DIN-rail B at a slight angle.
2 Hook the lip on the rear of the adapter onto the top of the DIN-rail, and rotate

the adapter onto the rail.

3 Press the adapter down onto the DIN-rail until flush. The locking tab snaps

into position and locks the module to the DIN-rail.

4 If the adapter does not lock in place, use a screwdriver or similar device to

move the locking tab down while pressing the adapter flush onto the DIN-rail
and release the locking tab to lock the adapter in place. If necessary, push up
on the locking tab to lock.

2 ProSoft Configuration Builder Software

ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) and ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager is
used to configure the PLX82-EIP-PNC. You can find both software files at

www.prosoft-technology.com.

Important Note: Microsoft .NET must be installed on your PC or laptop used to perform
configuration tasks. This is required for ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager to install and run.

Note: To use the ProSoft Configuration Builder under the Windows 7 OS, you must be sure to
install it using the Run as Administrator option. To find this option, right-click the Setup.exe
program icon, and then click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR on the context menu. You must install using
this option even if you are already logged in as an Administrator on your network or personal
computer (PC). Using the Run as Administrator option allows the installation program to create
folders and files on your PC with proper permissions and security. If you do not use the Run as
Administrator option, the ProSoft Configuration Builder may appear to install correctly, but you will
receive multiple file access errors whenever the ProSoft Configuration Builder is running, especially
when changing configuration screens. If this happens, you must completely uninstall the ProSoft
Configuration Builder and then re-install using the Run as Administrator option to eliminate the
errors.

2.3 Setting a Temporary IP Address

Important: ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) is a built-in utility within PCB. It locates the PLX82­EIP-PNC through UDP broadcast messages. These messages may be blocked by routers or layer
3 switches. In that case, PDS is unable to locate the PLX82-EIP-PNC.

To use PDS, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router or layer 3 switch between
the computer and the PLX82-EIP-PNC, or reconfigure the router or layer 3 switch to allow the
routing of the UDP broadcast messages.

1 Right-click the PLX82-EIP-PNC icon and select DIAGNOSTICS.

2 When the Diagnostics dialog opens, click on the SETUP CONNECTION icon.

2.6 Downloading the Configuration File to the PLX82-EIP-PNC

After you have created the project in the ProSoft Configuration Builder and
ProSoft fdt Configuration Manager software, you are ready to download it to the
PLX82-EIP-PNC.

1 From PCB, right-click on the PLX82-EIP-PNC icon and select DOWNLOAD

FROM PC TO DEVICE.

2 The Download files from PC to module dialog box opens:

3 Click TEST CONNECTION.

Manager, and the software displays the following message: "Successfully
connected."

If the PLX82-EIP-PNC’s IP address does not match what was entered in
ProSoft Configuration Builder, then the software displays an error message:
"Error: Connecting to Module. Please check your IP Address."

4 Click DOWNLOAD to download the project to the PLX82-EIP-PNC.

2.7 Uploading a Configuration from the PLX82-EIP-PNC

Use this feature to retrieve the configuration from the PLX82-EIP-PNC. Not only
does it retrieve the configuration, but is also retrieves all related files used in
creating that configuration. There are several reasons that you might use this
feature:

 You want to modify the configuration, but do not have access to the original

configuration files.
 You want to copy a configuration from one PLX82-EIP-PNC to another

PLX82-EIP-PNC.
 You want to back up the configuration for safety.

Warning: This function replaces the current configuration in the ProSoft Configuration Builder with
the one from the PLX82-EIP-PNC. Make sure you save the current configuration before uploading
the configuration from the PLX82-EIP-PNC.

1 Optional: Create a new project in the ProSoft Configuration Builder by

choosing FILE > NEW.

2 Right-click the PLX82-EIP-PNC icon and choose UPLOAD FROM DEVICE TO

PC.

3 The Upload files from Module to PC dialog box opens:

4 Select the Connection Type. If you don't know the IP address of the module

that contains the configuration that you want, you can browse devices using
the BROWSE DEVICE(S) button. This launches the ProSoft Discovery Service
application.

5 Enter the IP address of the PLX82-EIP-PNC. All PLX82-EIP-PNC's are

shipped with a default IP address 192.168.0.250. Click the USE DEFAULT IP
button to use the default address.

6 Use the TEST CONNECTION button to ensure that the connection is good.
7 Click the UPLOAD button to start the upload.
8 When the upload is complete, the configuration is displayed in PCB. You can

edit or save it on the PC.

2.8 Exporting a Project

You can export a PCB file that was created on your PC. This allows someone on
a different PC to import your configuration file and have all the files that are part
of your project. If you need assistance from ProSoft Technology Technical
Support, they will need your exported files.

1 In the ProSoft Configuration Builder choose PROJECT > MODULE > EXPORT

CONFIGURATION FILES.

2 In the Save As dialog box, navigate to the correct directory and save the

configuration file.
