Prosoft

ProSoft Technology is an industrial communications manufacturer specializing in protocol integration solutions that enable reliable data exchange between programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems, SCADA platforms, and industrial networks. ProSoft products focus on integrating diverse PLC communication protocols across multi-vendor automation environments. PLC Direct supplies ProSoft PLC communication hardware supporting installed automation systems across industrial applications. Our ProSoft collection serves customers sourcing replacement ProSoft cards, legacy communication modules, and production hardware to maintain operational continuity in existing PLC control architectures.

Why Choose ProSoft Technology: Industrial Communications and Multi-Protocol Integration

ProSoft Technology specializes in enabling communication between PLC platforms and industrial networks through purpose-built communication modules. Rather than manufacturing PLC CPUs, ProSoft focuses on extending PLC capability by embedding industrial communication directly into the control rack or through standalone gateway devices.

ProSoft PLC communication modules are commonly deployed in:

• Manufacturing automation and machine control
• Oil and gas production and pipeline systems
• Power generation and utility infrastructure
• Water and wastewater treatment facilities
• Mining and heavy industrial operations
• Food and beverage processing
• Transportation and material handling systems
• Process industries and chemical manufacturing

This broad industrial adoption reflects ProSoft’s specialization in industrial communications, protocol conversion, and secure integration of field devices, remote assets, and supervisory systems within existing PLC infrastructures.

ProSoft Technology Products and Solutions

ProSoft Technology organizes its industrial communications portfolio around in-rack communication modules, standalone gateway devices, industrial wireless communication solutions, and serial interface modules. The ProSoft collection at PLC Direct focuses on hardware supporting installed PLC systems for maintenance, replacement, and lifecycle continuity.

ProSoft Product Families

ProSoft products commonly supported include:

• In-Rack Communication Modules (ProSoft Card Solutions): Communication modules designed to install directly into supported PLC racks to enable protocol-specific connectivity. These ProSoft cards provide embedded industrial communication functionality for select PLC platforms, most commonly Rockwell Automation ControlLogix and CompactLogix. Individual module models support specific PLC communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU/ASCII, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, DNP3, and other industrial Ethernet or serial standards. These modules are used for PLC-to-PLC communication, PLC-to-SCADA integration, connectivity to drives and meters, and integration of third-party field devices.
• Standalone Gateway Modules: DIN rail or panel-mounted industrial communication gateways designed for protocol conversion between Ethernet-based networks and serial or legacy devices. These gateways support integration between installed equipment and PLC systems in mixed automation environments.
• Industrial Wireless Communication Solutions: Industrial radios and wireless gateway systems supporting secure data transmission in remote or distributed installations. These solutions are typically deployed in applications requiring long-distance communication between PLC systems and remote assets.
• Serial Communication and Protocol Converter Modules: Interface modules supporting RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication standards for integration of legacy serial devices within PLC control systems.
