1. Product Overview

• Model: AN‑X‑TI (ProSoft Technology)

• Function: DIN‑rail, bidirectional gateway

  • EtherNet/IP ↔ TI500 / TI505 (Texas Instruments PLC family)

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

  to monitor and control legacy TI500/TI505 PLCs without replacing the existing TI system.

2. Key Features

EtherNet/IP Side

• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (RJ45)

• Up to 15 scheduled connections

• RPI: 2–750 ms

• Data mapped directly to RSLogix 5000 tags

• Explicit messaging supported

TI500 / TI505 Side

• TI Master protocol (connects to TI500/TI505 PLCs as master)

• Supports TI500 and TI505 controllers (serial communication)

• Baud rate: 300 – 19.2 kbps

• Data size:

  • Input: up to 500 words

  • Output: up to 248 words

• Interface: RS‑232 / RS‑422 / RS‑485 (terminal block)

General

• Embedded web server (config via browser)

• MicroSD slot: backup/restore config, firmware update

• Operating modes: Master (MAS), 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. 126 × 34 × 107 mm, IP30

Interfaces

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps, RJ45

• TI: RS‑232/422/485, terminal block (shielded cable recommended)

4. LED Indicators

• PWR: solid = power OK

• NET: flashing = EtherNet/IP active

• TI: flashing = TI500/TI505 bus 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 TI communication port to TI500/TI505 PLC:

   • Use shielded twisted pair

   • Match RS‑232/422/485 wiring to TI PLC port

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

6. Configure TI baud rate & station address, map TI data to EtherNet/IP tags.

7. Save config and reboot.

6. Operating Modes

• Master (MAS): polls TI500/TI505 PLCs, reads/writes data

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

7. Application

• Integrate TI500/TI505 systems into EtherNet/IP (Rockwell) platforms

• Migrate legacy TI PLCs to ControlLogix/CompactLogix without field I/O replacement

• Industrial automation: manufacturing, process, automotive, water/wastewater

8. Safety Notes

• Wiring only when powered off

• Use shielded cable for TI communication; proper grounding

• Match baud rate and serial mode between gateway and TI PLC

• Avoid high humidity, dust, strong EMI

• Installation/configuration by qualified personnel
