Products Description
The ProSoft 5210-DFNT-RIO Ethernet Gateway – Ethernet/IP to A‑B Remote I/O Adapter is a DIN‑rail mountable industrial protocol gateway that seamlessly bridges modern Ethernet‑based automation networks with legacy Allen‑Bradley® Remote I/O systems. This 5210-DFNT-RIO gateway allows an EtherNet/IP master (such as a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller) to communicate with Remote I/O devices, enabling data exchange between distributed I/O networks and Ethernet‑based PLC architectures. Operating within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C, the PROSOFT 5210-DFNT-RIO maintains peak performance across various environmental conditions. The compact size and lightweight design (200g) make it easy to install and integrate into existing systems without compromising space.It supports both explicit messaging and configurable client/server operations on the EtherNet/IP side while acting as a remote I/O adapter (slave) to the Remote I/O scanner.

Key Features and Benefits
- EtherNet/IP to Remote I/O Bridging: The ProSoft 5210-DFNT-RIO gateway enables seamless data transfer between EtherNet/IP networks and classic Allen‑Bradley Remote I/O systems, making it ideal for mixed‑technology plant environments and modernization projects.
- Explicit Messaging Support: Its EtherNet/IP port supports explicit messaging and is user‑configurable as a client or server, giving flexibility in how data is exchanged with PLCs and networked devices.
- Versatile I/O Integration: By acting as a Remote I/O adapter (slave), it connects traditional Remote I/O scanners (masters) to Ethernet/IP networks, facilitating gradual system upgrades without full I/O replacement.
- Robust Industrial Design: Built for harsh industrial environments, the module supports a wide operating temperature range and non‑condensing humidity levels, ensuring reliable performance in manufacturing, oil and gas, electrical power, and food processing industries.
