Product Overview

The ProSoft PLX82-EIP-61850 is a specialized industrial gateway designed to bridge EtherNet/IP networks with IEC 61850 substation automation systems. It enables Rockwell Automation PLCs and other EtherNet/IP controllers to communicate with IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) such as protection relays, meters, and bay controllers commonly found in power distribution and generation facilities.

With native support for IEC 61850 MMS and GOOSE messaging, the PLX82-EIP-61850 provides seamless data exchange between process control and substation automation layers. This gateway is ideal for utilities and industrial plants that require reliable, high-speed integration between modern PLC platforms and legacy or new IEC 61850-compliant power equipment.
