Product Description

The 5301-MBP-DFCM by ProSoft Technology is a high-performance Modbus Plus to DF1 communication gateway. It enables seamless bi-directional data exchange between Schneider Electric/Modicon Modbus Plus networks and Allen-Bradley DF1 devices, allowing legacy and modern industrial equipment to coexist within a single control architecture.

This gateway supports up to four configurable DF1 serial ports that can operate in Master or Slave mode, providing flexibility to serve as a central data concentrator or subordinate device depending on network topology. Its rugged industrial design and specialized Modbus Plus circuitry ensure high data integrity over long cable runs, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing environments and SCADA systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 5301-MBP-DFCM support multiple DF1 devices simultaneously?
A: Yes. With up to four configurable serial ports, it can interface with multiple DF1 devices. When acting as a DF1 Master, it polls multiple slaves and maps their data into the Modbus Plus register space.

Q: Is special cabling required for the Modbus Plus port?
A: No special cabling is required beyond standard Modbus Plus cabling. Proper termination at network segment ends is essential to prevent signal reflection and ensure data integrity.
