5210-MNET-RIO ProLinx Modbus TCP to Rockwell Remote I/O Gateway | ProSoft Technology
The ProSoft Technology 5210-MNET-RIO is a ProLinx DIN rail mounted protocol gateway bridging Modbus TCP/IP and Rockwell Allen‑Bradley Remote I/O (RIO) network. It acts as an RIO scanner for legacy AB RIO field racks, exchanging I/O data bidirectionally with Modbus TCP Client/Server devices over Ethernet. Configured via ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) software, it enables system modernization while preserving existing Remote I/O wiring. Technical data sourced from ProSoft 5210-MNET-RIO datasheet & user manual. Supplied by SHLY-PLC, an independent industrial automation distributor; each unit undergoes visual inspection and functional testing before shipment for legacy Allen‑Bradley RIO retrofit and spare replacement projects. Contact our team for compatibility verification.
