1. Product Overview

• Model: AN-X-PB2 (ProSoft Technology)

• Function: DIN‑rail, bidirectional protocol gateway

  • EtherNet/IP ↔ PROFIBUS DP

• Purpose: Lets Allen‑Bradley EtherNet/IP PLCs (ControlLogix/CompactLogix)

  connect, monitor, and control PROFIBUS DP slave devices without replacing existing field I/O.

2. Key Features

• Up to 15 scheduled connections

• RPI: 2–750 ms

• Data mapped directly to RSLogix 5000 tags

• Explicit messaging supported

PROFIBUS DP Side

• DP‑V0/V1 Master (slave mode optional)

• Supports up to 31 PROFIBUS DP slaves

• Baud rate: 9.6 kbps – 12 Mbps

• Data size:

  • Input: up to 500 words

  • Output: up to 248 words

• Standard PROFIBUS cable, terminal block

General

• Embedded web server (config via browser)

• MicroSD slot: backup/restore config, firmware update

• Operating modes: Master (MAS), Slave (SLV), Monitor (MON)

• Industrial temp: 0°C to +50°C

• Certifications: CE, UL, RoHS

3. Specifications

Power

• 12–24 VDC, 100 mA @ 24 VDC, ≤ 2.4 W

Physical

• 35 mm DIN rail, approx. 110 × 75 × 40 mm, IP30

Interfaces

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps, RJ45

• PROFIBUS DP: terminal block (shielded cable required)

4. LED Indicators

• PWR: solid = power OK

• NET: flashing = EtherNet/IP active

• PB: flashing = PROFIBUS DP active

• STS: system status

• ERR: on = fault (comm/config)

5. Installation & Wiring

1. Mount on DIN rail in cabinet.

2. Connect 12–24 VDC (observe polarity).

3. Connect Ethernet to EtherNet/IP controller network.

4. Wire PROFIBUS DP bus to terminal block:

   • Use shielded twisted pair

   • Terminate bus at both ends (120 Ω)

5. Set gateway IP via web (default: 192.168.1.100).

6. Scan PROFIBUS slaves, map I/O to EtherNet/IP tags.

7. Save config and reboot.

6. Operating Modes

• Master (MAS): full DP master, polls slaves, controls I/O

• Slave (SLV): acts as DP slave to a higher‑level DP master

• Monitor (MON): listen‑only, diagnose DP traffic

7. Application

• Integrate PROFIBUS DP devices into EtherNet/IP systems

• Migrate legacy PROFIBUS systems to Rockwell Automation platforms

• Process industries: manufacturing, automotive, water/wastewater, energy

8. Safety Notes

• Wiring only when powered off

• Use shielded cable for PROFIBUS DP; proper grounding

• Bus termination must be correct (120 Ω at both ends)

• Avoid high humidity, dust, strong EMI

• Installation/configuration by qualified personnel
