The 5305-MBP-PDPS gateway from ProSoft Technology enables seamless data exchange between Modbus Plus networks and PROFIBUS DP master devices. It combines Modbus Master and Slave functionality within a single powerful communication module, simplifying integration in distributed control systems. This gateway performs reliably across industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, electrical power, and food processing, where interoperability and fast data transmission are essential.
Flexible Modbus Plus Communication
The 5305-MBP-PDPS supports both Modbus Plus Master and Slave operations. Users can configure up to 200 master commands for precise control of data registers, including polling modes for continuous or on-change updates. The module handles Function Codes 3 (Read Multiple Registers) and 16 (Write Multiple Registers), supporting both global data read and write operations with a maximum of 32 words each. Its address range of 1 to 64 nodes ensures compatibility with a wide variety of Modicon processors and other Modbus-based systems.
Powerful PROFIBUS DP Integration
On the PROFIBUS side, the 5305-MBP-PDPS functions as a DP-V0 Slave, using a Siemens SPC3 chipset to ensure compatibility and stability. It supports input and output data lengths of up to 244 bytes each, delivering a total data capacity of 400 bytes. The gateway’s auto-baud detection automatically adjusts between 9.6 kbit/s and 12 Mbit/s, providing flexibility for different industrial network speeds. Users can configure PROFIBUS node addresses (1–125), byte order, and timeout responses to optimize performance for their system design.
Industrial Reliability and Easy Configuration
Engineers can easily download the PRLX05A5.GSD configuration file directly from ProSoft Technology’s website to integrate the module into existing systems. The gateway supports Freeze and Sync modes for synchronized communication and ensures robust operation even under demanding field conditions.
