PROSOFT 5301-MBP-DFCM Modbus Plus to DF1 Gateway
Description
The PROSOFT 5301-MBP-DFCM Modbus Plus to DF1 Gateway is a standalone, DIN-rail mounted industrial communication gateway that establishes reliable connections between Modbus Plus network devices and DF1 slave devices, supporting both master and slave configurations for seamless cross-network data exchange. Key technical specifications include a 24 VDC rated power supply with an allowable range of 18 to 32 VDC, featuring positive, negative, and GND terminals accessible with a 2.5mm screwdriver blade, and a maximum current load of 500 milliamps at 32 VDC. Operating temperature ranges from -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius) to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius), with a storage temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 degrees Celsius) to 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius), and it supports relative humidity of 5% to 95% without condensation. Physical dimensions are available in two sizes: standard 5.20 inches high x 2.07 inches wide x 4.52 inches deep, and extended 5.20 inches high x 2.73 inches wide x 4.52 inches deep. It is equipped with multiple LED indicators for power, module status, application status, serial port activity, and serial port error status, plus a DB-9M RS-232 configuration serial port with no hardware handshake, two DB9 female standard Modbus Plus application ports, and optional 10Base-T half-duplex RJ45 Ethernet ports with 1500 V RMS electrical isolation. Serial ports offer minimum 3000 VDC and 2500 V RMS signal isolation per UL 1577 standards. Ideal for industrial applications including manufacturing, oil and gas, power, and food processing, it enables integration of legacy DF1 devices into Modbus Plus-based distributed control systems.
