The ELX-EIP-MBTCP is a Docker Container designed to provide protocol gateway conversion to the ProSoft Technology ELX3 hardware platform. This protocol gateway container facilitates the data exchange between the EtherNet/IP™ (EIP) and Modbus® TCP (MBTCP) protocols, supporting both Client and Server functionalities for each supported protocol.
The protocol gateway container is configured with the ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software. PCB is also used to download and upload the EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP network configurations to the container.
The EIP driver is tested and certified by the ODVA organization and includes a shared database between EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols, as is done with the ProSoft Technology PLX3x-EIP-MBTCP Communication Gateway.
