Make Your Serial PLC5, SLC or MicroLogix PLCs Into a Profinet Device

Your legacy Allen-Bradley serial PLC can now be a Profinet IO Device on a Profinet Network.

The 460PSDFM is the perfect tool to keep those old legacy PLCs from the scrap pile and extend their useful life.

How Do I Use the 460PSDFM in My Application?

For most applications, the mapping is very straight forward. Profinet Cyclic Input and Output buffers are mapped to files in the PLCs data tables.

No message instructions and no ladder needs to be altered in the DF1 PLCs.

It really is that simple.

Why Use Real Time Automation as a Gateway Supplier?

While there are certainly a number of other companies offering gateways, there is no one who provides the level of support and service that you receive from RTA.

When you call, a live person answers the phone. When you talk with sales, you will get honest answers and recommendations. When you get support, it is from an engineer who had a hand in the product’s development, and support doesn’t require a ticket or 24 hour wait.

What our Customers are Saying

“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”

Eric P. / Kendall Electric

“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
