ProSoft Technology®
Who we are...
receiving the necessary technology, he went to
his garage and developed an EPROM (Erasable
Programmable Read-only Memory) based
solution for the 1771-DB (PLC-5 BASIC) module
that allowed the PLC-5 platform to communicate
via Modbus. The end result: The first Modbus
Slave Communication Module for the PLC-5
platform was born.
And Then There was ProSoft Technology!
That single chip led to a partnership with AllenBradley and in 1990 ProSoft Technology was
formally incorporated.
Opening Doors
At ProSoft Technology® our primary focus is to
provide connectivity solutions that link dissimilar
automation products. In everything we do, the
products we develop and the services we offer,
we consider quality a priority.
Unlike other companies, we don’t just sell
products. We sell tested, field-proven solutions.
Our goal is to support our customers from
pre-sales through the entire life-cycle of the
application. We provide total solutions with
quality products developed with end-users in
mind, a well-respected brand and industryleading technical support.
For over 20 years, ProSoft Technology products
have been used worldwide in nearly every
industry. Our product lines have grown to over
400 communication modules supporting more
than 60 different industrial communication
protocols.
By 1993 ProSoft Technology had evolved from a
company with a good product to an all around
solution provider, with a growing protocol
library.
New Office for Europe-Middle
East-Africa Region
In 1997 a ProSoft Technology office was
opened in France, with Alain Chevalin joining
the team as the Sales Manager for Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa.
Extending the Global Reach
In 1999 Lenus Hong was hired as the Sales
Manager for the Asia-Pacific region and ProSoft
opened an office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At
the same time, Franco Melchiorre was added
as the Sales Manager for the Latin American
Region.
Wireless is More…
ProSoft Technology has regional offices
around the globe along with worldwide
distribution to meet all your industrial
application needs.ry
In 2003 the first of what would become a broad
array of wireless technologies is launched to
the marketplace. In 2004 ProSoft acquired the
wireless engineering company Locus, Inc.
An idea is born
New Offices...
While working on a project for Mobil Oil,
Douglas Sharratt, founder and President of
ProSoft Technology, discovered that the AllenBradley® PLC processors he was using needed
a way to communicate with a SCADA host via
the Modbus protocol. After some commercial
discussions with Allen-Bradley and after
New offices are opened in Brasil, India, China,
Dubai, Germany, and Mexico.
Unlike other
companies, we
don’t just sell
products. We sell
tested, field-proven
solutions.

ProSoft Technology offers a wide variety
of connectivity options, from discrete
industrial network solutions to process
network technology, and open protocols to
proprietary protocols, with its Communication Gateways.
Modbus TCP/IP
5102-MCM-ASCII3
The practical advantages of using gateways
include the ability to get information from
other locations in the facility or supply chain,
feed other systems with real-time data from
manufacturing, and make manufacturing
information more relevant and efficient.
Gateways also connect older, serial-based
communications or analog signals with
newer networks.
EtherNet/IP
5208-MNET-HART
Many times, multiple networks are used in
one facility, making it difficult to gather data
from certain devices. ProSoft Technology’s
stand-alone, DIN-rail mounted industrial
gateways provide a means to extract or
import data from devices using one protocol
to another. These gateways are especially
useful when there is no possibility of using
a protocol interface module in a processor
rack due to network or space constraints.

EtherNet/IP
Did you know that status
information from a ProSoft
Technology gateway can
be used in logic or SCADA
systems to monitor the
health of a network?
For instance, with an
EtherNet/IP-to-Modbus
communication gateway,
status information can be
obtained from a Modbus
network with values
representing messages
to a device, messages
transmitted, and the last
error code received. This
can be mapped to any
location in the module’s
memory and shared
with EtherNet/IP
network devices. This
allows the EtherNet/
IP network to monitor
communications
on the Modbus
network for fail-safe
considerations,
and since this is all
configurable, users may
decide what information
to share between
networks.

“The new SCADA system
(with the ProSoft module)
now gives the water district
full control of all remote
sites. They can now track
station flow rates, overflow
events, well level, in-flow
and out-flow. They also
have the capability to
detect numerous system
failures including power,
high/low voltage, phase
imbalance, high/low
amperes, frequency, load
factor and low water level.
Since the ProSoft modules
communicate over the
backplane with the AllenBradley® processors, they
were critical to the success
of this project. ProSoft
provided the ‘missing link’
in the communication
chain, seamlessly allowing
connectivity between these
differing networks.”

Modbus Gateways
GREAT FOR: Communication from Modbus-based
Typical Solution
The Modbus gateways are powerful modules
supporting one to three fully configurable Modbus
Master or Slave ports enabling easy connectivity with
many host SCADA packages supporting the Modbus
protocol as well as other third party devices.
[Tech Tip]
Add Four Modbus
Ports to Your
Network
ProSoft Technology’s
EtherNet/IP-to-Modbus 4-port
gateway provides 4 Modbus
application ports for multiple
network requirements,
providing maximum flexibility.
Each port is individually
configurable with the option
to support serial master or
slave configurations using
RS232/422/485 settings.
The module can operate
as an EtherNet/IP client so
Modbus data can be written
directly to the EtherNet/IP
controller without the need
for additional program
message instructions.
For those users who
prefer to use a MSG
instruction in ladder
logic, the module
can be configured
as an EtherNet/
IP server.

In his last interview, former
President and Founder of
ProSoft Technology, Doug
Sharratt, elaborated on
ProSoft’s role in improving
automation processes,
“To put it simply, we
make modules that act
as translators allowing
machines made by different
manufacturers, speaking
different languages to
communicate. This allows
manufacturers who may
have older systems to
be able to utilize new
technologies. The fact
is, the first INDUSTRIAL
computer came out about
25 years ago. Think how
much consumer technology
has changed in the last 25
years…cell phones, flat
screen TVs, digital cameras.
Twenty five years ago most
of us had never heard of Bill
Gates. In manufacturing,
the advances have been just
as dramatic. Our products
allow plants to bring in new
processes and equipment
without having to rip out
older equipment that may
still be doing its job.”

Did you know that our ProLinx line of wireless gateways are designed to work as a set? For the user,
this means only having to set up the Master and Slave protocol with no wireless configuration. This
translates into a streamlined set-up, less installation time, and out of-the-box wireless communication.

HART Gateways
[Success Story]
GREAT FOR: Users needing to connect HART field
devices to a multitude of other networks. Choose
between HART Analog for higher data speed, and HART
Multi-drop for higher field device density per channel.
Typical Solution
The HART gateways will integrate HART analog
instruments into already existing networks such as
Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP or DF1. No need to run
expensive copper wires back to the control cabinet.
Using a ProSoft HART gateway saves valuable rack
space for other in-chassis options.
Communicating
from the HART
With plants located
throughout North America,
Valspar is the sixth largest
paint and coatings company
globally. For the integration,
measurement, and control
of their plants, Valspar
trusts Meter Maintenance
& Controls Inc. (MMCI).
In each plant, MMCI
uses 30-50 HART flow
meters for the batching
process, a ControlLogix®
system with an RSView®
Human Machine Interface
(HMI) for monitoring and
maintenance, and RS-SQL
for quality control. The
challenge was in moving
data from the meters to the
controller. Royal Wholesale
Electric recommended
ProSoft’s EtherNet/IP-toHART gateway.
“I’d been using ProSoft
products for years…possibly
since we first started as
a company so it was a no
brainer,” comments Terry
Davis, President of MMCI.
“Now we use the gateway in
all the plants.”
Benefits include cost savings
because plant operators do
not require control system
training to view critical
information; and quality,
because the measurement
system’s accuracy is nearly
flawless.

“Normally every Atlas
Copco compressor would
be controlled individually,”
said Chen Zong Liang,
General Manager of
Shanghai Yuandong. “With
individual control we found
that some compressors
would load, unload,
and even stop running
simultaneously. This made
compressor output very
inconsistent and therefore
unstable. By using ProSoft’s
Modbus Communications
Module, we were able to
directly connect AllenBradley’s SLC with Atlas
Copco’s compressors
using the Modbus protocol.
With central control, it
was possible to stagger
the actions (start, load,
unload or stop) of every
compressor according to
the charge situation.”

Wireless Technology
Why Wireless?
Wireless connectivity can open
up a new realm of opportunities
to improve operational efficiencies
in a cost-effective manner.
Remote Locations
Replacing festoon cables and slip
rings with wireless technology
can increase your productivity,
decrease your downtime and
increase your profits.
Remote locations are probably the most
expensive applications in which to run cable.
Because the cost is so prohibitive, in the past
many companies have opted to gather needed
data from remote sites by sending a technician
or engineer out to the site on a regular basis.
No more. Now it is possible to install radios
for a fraction of the cost of wire or paying
an engineer to drive long distances to read a
meter.
FHSS: Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum:
Regularly “hops” to different frequencies
making it difficult to jam and the signals are not
detectable by Wi-Fi devices. Encryption of the
data with strong methods such as the Advanced
Encryption System (AES) provides a second
layer of protection.
According to The Online Industrial Ethernet
Book, “While it is true that one could roam the
streets, find an unprotected access point and
attach to a wireless network, it is far different
from actually gaining access to a company’s
network resources. To date, we are not aware
of a single reported ‘break in’ and theft of
confidential files over a wireless access point
with the proper security enabled.”
Adverse Terrain and Weather
With the advent of industrial radios, companies
can now choose to install wireless in less than
perfect conditions. Freezing temperatures,
desert sand, salt water and rain are no match
for hazardous rated and waterproof radios.
Mobile or Moving Devices
Wireless is the most cost-effective
way to communicate in remote
applications.
Anyone who has ever worked with moving
equipment in a plant knows how many times
production is shut down due to damaged
festoon cables and the need to maintain slip
rings. Replacing festoon cables and slip rings
with wireless technology can increase your
productivity, decrease your downtime and
increase your profits.
Security
One of the most common objections engineers
have to going wireless is the concern over
security. “Will anyone be able to connect to
my network? Is my data accessible to anyone
close to my site? Will my production data be
protected against hackers?” Security has come
a long way since the first industrial wireless
applications:
For applications with adverse
terrain, weather, or hazardous
location, ProSoft has the
radios to fit your needs.

your wireless network. Support is paramount with any wireless product.
Our Application Engineers are experienced in the industry and are
familiar with automation applications, specific industry protocols and
networking, and radio path engineering.
Path Planning and On-site Services
Path planning is an essential part of an outdoor wireless solution
providing an accurate account of items and budgetary costs required
for the project. ProSoft can provide assistance for generating a
Path Planning Report. This report includes a complete wireless
bill-of-materials, antenna type, gain, height, tilt angle and location
requirements, calculated fade margins and a graphical path profile for
each site and network topological terrain map. The report will also assist
systems integrators with initial design specifications for testing and
verifying each path link.
For simple projects end users may also download a free copy of our
Wireless Designer software. Once distances between radios, and
existing structure data are entered into the Wireless Designer, this easy
to use, wizard-based interface creates a visual layout of your radios and
sites, and generates a complete Bill of Materials including radios and
accessories.
For more complex systems, a Site Survey may be required and does
require a fee. Contact ProSoft Technology for more information.

Industrial Frequency Hopping Serial
GREAT FOR: Demanding, long range SCADA and other serial applications in
tough environments.
Typical Solution
Serial SCADA applications (i.e. Modbus, RTU, DF1) that would benefit from
wireless communication. The IFH radios can be used in point-to-point and point-tomultipoint applications. They are well suited for long range outdoor applications
or applications with difficult RF-paths, including penetration of foliage or walls.
Common applications include: Upstream oil and gas operations, refineries,
municipal water / wastewater, electric utility transmission and distribution
automation and mining.
[Quotables]
“The fact that the
transmission mode is
Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum is important.
There are many other
radio-based systems in these
plants and it is reassuring
to know that interference
from other applications will
not affect the performance
of the system that we
supplied.”

The power of
industrial wireless
in Cumberland…
In Tennessee, the Clinton
Utilities Board had to route
data through thirteen
electrical distribution
substations, two of which
were prone to outages
and tucked within the
Cumberland Mountains.
For these sites, wireless
made sense, so ProSoft
Technology Frequency
Hopping serial, Ethernet,
and Ethernet with Serial
Server radios were
selected. ProSoft’s technical
engineers also helped
develop a path study that
identified locations along
mountaintops where
repeaters could obtain the
desired path.
Todd Loggins with Clinton
comments, “Because of the
rugged terrain in parts of
our service area, installing a
wireless network has proved
to be a challenge. However,
the benefits that have
resulted from it have far
outweighed the installation
difficulties. We have been
able to save numerous
man-hours by being able
to remotely monitor and
control devices that normally
would take us hours just to
get to.”
Today, an additional 62
radios have been added
to the original 23. “These
products are all working
great for us,” comments
Loggins.

shut off when a plane flew by.
“We had several industrial

With PWP, network protocols are converted
into common “radio packets” allowing
messages to be transmitted to an 802.11
radio connected to the network. Data in
PWP packets are in a binary format which
augments the security of the wireless
communications. PWP is a producerconsumer protocol that enables peer-to-peer

[Tech Tip]
Maximize
Bandwidth and
Minimize Data
Loss
EtherNet/IP uses explicit
and implicit messaging.
This presents a challenge
for many wireless devices
since implicit messaging
involves the multicasting
of data. Multicasting can
translate into message
re-broadcasting, which
consumes bandwidth
and increases the risk
of collisions or dropped
packets. 802.11abg
Industrial Hotspot radios,
however, use Internet
Group Management
Protocol (IGMP) querying
to enable wireless
multicast filtering. This
optimizes bandwidth
because radios can
unicast messages
from producers
to one or more
consumers, and if
an acknowledgement is
not received, the radio
transparently repeats the
transmission avoiding
loss of data.

Wireless Technology
Industry Wireless Solutions
Every industry now benefits from wireless technologies
as part of its automation systems. Wireless is particularly
popular in the SCADA industries such as Oil & Gas, Water/
Wastewater and Electrical Utilities due to their unique remote
communication needs. ProSoft Technology has extensive
experience in these industries, as well as many others with
extensive SCADA applications including mining and pulp
and paper. Wireless also provides great benefits in factory
automation and process control.
Spread spectrum wireless is an excellent communication
method for long range SCADA communications to remote
well heads, pipelines, compressor stations and offshore oil
platforms. The use of wireless provides cost effective, real
time communications to link PLC and DCS systems to remote
sites and avoids the reoccurring costs of phone line service.
Processes such as valve actuation, pressure monitoring, flow
monitoring for royalty accounting and tank level monitoring
may be done remotely and controlled automatically.
Oil and Gas
Wireless is also a great solution for automation system
communications within tank farms, refineries and
petrochemical plants as a cost and time saving alternative to
installing wire and fiber optic cables.
As the demand and cost of energy rises, energy companies
are investing billions in exploration and production to meet
the world’s energy needs. Automation technologies play a key
role in making oil and gas extraction economical. Wireless also
plays a key role as more remote locations are explored.
Oil and gas production, refinery and distribution systems
benefit greatly from spread spectrum technologies as part
of PLC, DCS and SCADA communication systems. Wireless
benefits include communications to very remote sites devoid
of phone/cellular service, cost-effective reliable alternative to
leasing phone lines, significant cable installation cost savings
at tank farms and refineries, faster installation and dismantling
of drilling rigs and quicker data collection and monitoring tools
for mobile workers. In addition to solutions for SCADA and
PLC/DCS automation, wireless may also be used for remote
video surveillance for security and process control monitoring
as well as voice over IP (VOIP).
LACT Flow
Reporting
Oil and gas installations often have special regulations for
electrical equipment (including wireless hardware) to ensure
that explosive gasses are not accidentally ignited in hazardous
classified zones. Class I, Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certifications
permit wireless modems to be installed in areas where
explosive gasses may be present, but are not under normal
circumstances. Wireless equipment with proper certifications
may be installed in these areas without restriction to the
wireless modem or antenna location.
Production
Wellheads
RTU
Wireless can also be used on drilling rigs for drive controls
to reduce installation and shut-down time when the rig is
preparing to move to the next location, while also offering a
more reliable communication link immune to mechanical wear
and tear.

Wireless Technology
Water and Wastewater Solutions
Automation strategies for this industry have dramatically led
to reduced manpower costs, better drinking water quality
and adherence to environmental regulations. Wireless is an
integral strategy for this industry.
Similar to the oil and gas industry, water and wastewater
systems often require long range communication to remote
pump stations, lift stations, flow meters, reservoirs and
storage tanks. This is an excellent fit for wireless technology
as it further reduces the water authority’s monthly operating
costs by eliminating phone line charges. Initial investment
into wireless communications will return considerable
costs savings over the years just in phone line cost savings.
Additionally, phone line service may be poor to remote sites.
Private wireless systems offer not only costs savings, but are
often more reliable than phone lines. Plant engineers do not
need to wait for phone company service if a line goes down.
The use of licensed RF systems (VHF/UHF) was popular for
water districts for many years. However licensed channel
availability is diminished in many regions and high speed
applications (such as Ethernet) require higher speeds than
licensed systems can provide. This has led to the popularity of
license-free, spread spectrum wireless communications where
higher speed Ethernet applications are supported.
Remote pump stations, lift stations and tanks may all be linked
back to the treatment plant’s PLC network. Because water
tanks are usually located at the highest peaks, they make
excellent repeater locations for achieving unobstructed line-ofsight to the remote pumps.
Wireless remote SCADA systems that are Ethernet based
can also easily support operator interfaces (HMIs) at remote
locations. Remote video for security is also supported with high
speed wireless Ethernet systems.
Water treatment plants may also use wireless technology
as a way to communicate through the plant without cable
installation and trenching. Wireless may be used in filtration
systems and clarifier tanks for linking controls mounted on
rake arms avoiding mechanical wear of slip rings used for data
transmission.
Finally, wireless is an excellent way for maintenance workers
and operators to access information anywhere at the treatment
plant. Workers using portable laptop computers or small PDAs
may connect to the plant network without needing an Ethernet
port outlet. Wireless network access provides increased
productivity and reduces time to repair.

Factory Automation and Process Control
Wireless plays an important role in factories and processing
plants. Industries such as consumer goods manufacturing,
metals, automotive, pharmaceutical, food processing,
packaging and material handling can benefit greatly from
wireless technologies. Tangible benefits include cost
reduction, more reliable control/processing systems and
improved worker productivity.
Wireless technologies may be used to build a plant-wide
wireless network connecting mobile workers to the production
and/or business network. Maintenance workers can now
access important data (such as a PLC program or recipe) while
observing a malfunctioning device or inefficient process. Inrack wireless modules connect remote PLCs to the wireless
network, expanding the devices available on the wireless
network.
Wireless is also an excellent solution for communication to
controllers on moving platforms for material handling systems
such as overhead cranes, automatic guided vehicles (AGVs),
transfer cars, turntables and conveyor systems. Wireless
provides high speed communications (such as for Ethernet)
while not suffering from mechanical wear and tear as wiring
harnesses, festooning, inductive rails and slip rings commonly
do. Wireless is a great strategy to improve production by
eliminating downtime.
Wireless is also a very cost-effective SCADA communication
solution. Wireless may be used for controls at water pumping
stations, power monitoring, machine condition monitoring and
HMI displays.
Video is becoming an important part of industrial systems
both for remote surveillance (security) and remote process
monitoring. High speed wireless technologies offer a way
to cost-effectively add video information to the control and
monitoring system.
Finally, wireless technologies have expanded beyond
traditional serial and Ethernet networks, and to other industrial
networks and protocols. Wireless solutions are now available
for PROFIBUS and HART permitting remote sensors and
actuators to be connected to the main control system (PLC or
DCS) without the need for hardwiring.

Wireless Technology
Select Radios and
Accessories Like a Pro!
ProSoft Wireless Designer (PWD) simplifies the task
of planning and specifying your ProSoft Wireless
network. The user-friendly, wizard-based interface
creates a visual layout of your radios and sites, and
it generates a complete Bill of Materials including
radios, cables, lightning protection, connectors,
and antennas. When creating the site layout, PWD
is able to validate wireless link feasibility based on
path length and recommended accessories, and is
able to predict signal strength based on distance,
local regulations and hardware choices.
If the predicted signal quality is not as high as desired,
the wireless accessories for each site can be modified
(for example selecting higher gain antennas) or
perhaps a repeater is added to make the wireless
path feasible. The database of accessories includes
connector types, RF gain or loss of accessory, and
other information. Warnings are made if accessories
are selected that will not connect or do not match
the frequency of the radio.
Design a Wireless Network
The PWD expert system asks overall network
design questions to help select radio and
automatically selected accessories including:
•Indoor or outdoor application
•Type of connectivity required (serial or Ethernet)
•Throughput requirement
•Installation country (for power and frequency
settings)
Once the general network information is entered,
each wireless site is added. If the GPS coordinates
of the sites are known, they can be entered to
calculate the length of the wireless path between
sites. Then the sites are linked together as desired
and PWD calculates the estimated signal quality
based on a clear wireless path (free-space).
40
Generate List of Wireless Components
Once all of the sites and paths are entered and
accessory selection is final, ProSoft Wireless
Designer provides a complete list of radios and
accessories as well as a list for each site. The parts
list can be exported as an Excel spreadsheet for
quote or the PWD project file can be sent to ProSoft
Technology for review.
