Industrial RTA 435NBX Ethernet ASCII To PLC Gateway

The 435NBX ASCII to Allen-Bradley PLC Gateway from Real Time Automation is a DIN-rail mount Ethernet gateway that translates serial ASCII data into messages the Allen-Bradley PLCs can consume over EtherNet/IP. It provides a single ASCII port for connecting devices such as barcode scanners, weigh scales, or RFID readers and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface that operates as an EtherNet/IP server for the PLC. The gateway supports a broad range of AB controllers, including ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, MicroLogix, SLC 5/05, and PLC-5E families, enabling data from your ASCII devices to feed programs and HMI systems across your control network. Configuration is simplified with Real Time Automation’s IP Setup software, which automatically locates the gateway on the network and facilitates straightforward addressing and integration into existing Ethernet I/O trees. Designed for industrial environments, the 435NBX is intended for DIN rail installations, allowing it to be mounted alongside other automation components in control panels.
