1. PREFACE
1.1. INTRODUCTION TO THE PLX51-DF1-ENI
This manual describes the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the PLX51-DF1-ENI. The
PLX51-DF1-ENI provides intelligent data routing between EtherNet/IPTM and DF1 which can
help simplify the migration from PLC2, PLC3, PLC5, and SLC systems to ControlLogix®or
CompactLogixTM platforms, where a DF1 interface is required.
The module can also be used for remote programming, bridging between Ethernet and DF1.

1.2. FEATURES
The PLX51-DF1-ENI is able to transfer data from a DF1 device to a maximum of eight Logix
controllers. The module operates in one of four modes, simplifying the configuration for all
applications.
Mode
Description
Message Initiator
Bridge
The PLX51-DF1-ENI redirects DF1 PCCC messages to a Logix
controller at a preconfigured EtherNet/IP path.
Logix PLC Mapping configuration may also be required.
This mode also supports remote programming using RSLogix
5 / 500.
Remote Device
DF1 Slave
The PLX51-DF1-ENI will convert DF1 PCCC messages to Logix
controller tag reads or tag writes.
No Logix PLC Mapping configuration is required.
Remote Device
Scheduled Tag
The PLX51-DF1-ENI transfers data between a DF1 device and
a number of Logix tags, using a preconfigured schedule.
No Logix or remote device configuration is required.
PLX51-DF1-ENI
Unscheduled
The PLX51-DF1-ENI transfers messages received from a Logix
Message Instruction.
Logix (Msg)
Table 1.1. –Modes of Operation
The PLX51-DF1-ENI is configured using the ProSoft PLX50 Configuration Utility. This program
can be downloaded from www.prosoft-technology.com free of charge. The PLX50
Configuration Utility offers various configuration methods, including a controller tag browser.
Hereafter the PLX51-DF1-ENI will be referred to as the module.
The module can operate in both a Logix “owned” and standalone mode. With a Logix
connection, the input and output assemblies will provide additional diagnostics information
which will be available in the Logix controller environment.
The module uses isolated RS232 for DF1 communication providing better noise immunity. The
RS232 port also uses a terminal block for convenient installation. The module can also be used
in systems with redundant DF1 pathways.
A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration and operation,
including the display of received DF1 communication packets, without the need for any
additional software.

1.3. ARCHITECTURE
The figure below provides an example of the typical network setup.
Figure 1.2. - Example of a typical network setup
By converting and redirecting serial DF1 messages from legacy devices to EtherNet/IP, the
module provides an interface for data exchange to ControlLogix and CompactLogix platforms.
When connected to devices that provide more than one DF1 port, it is possible to implement
DF1 communication redundancy with the use of two PLX51-DF1-ENI’s. These can be
configured in one of two modes, either Simultaneous or Active / Standby.
In the Simultaneous mode, both modules route the same traffic to the same Logix controller.
Effectively, the Logix controller will receive two of each message and process both of them.
Active / Standby mode requires both modes to be Logix “Owned”. One of the modules has its
routing capability disabled, achieved by setting the Inhibit Routing bit in the output assembly.
Logic in the Logix controller can monitor the connection and performance of the Active
module and, if necessary, inhibit the Active module and un-inhibit the Standby module.

Figure 1.3. - Redundant Architecture
The PLX51-DF1-ENI can be used in redundant Logix controller systems.
Systems that rely on a central ControlLogix communicating to a number of remote DF1
devices, e.g. MicroLogix and SLC stations, may find the PLX51-DF1-ENI useful when upgrading
to newer ControlLogix processors, which no longer have a serial port. These systems can easily
be upgraded using the PLX51-DF1-ENI without affecting the existing and often costly wireless
infrastructure.
