ProSoft Technology, Inc. — Industrial protocol gateways and in‑chassis communication modules

ProSoft Technology, Inc. is a specialist manufacturer of industrial communications and protocol-conversion products used to link disparate automation systems. The company’s portfolio focuses on in‑chassis communication modules for Rockwell Automation platforms, rack- and DIN-mounted protocol gateways (ProLinx family), and more recent edge gateway appliances that combine OT protocol conversion with lightweight edge computing.

What ProSoft is known for

ProSoft’s reputation is built on practical protocol translation and reliable connectivity for industrial control systems: modules that let ControlLogix and SLC processors exchange data with Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet and other field networks. The company produces both in‑rack communication modules (MVI family) designed to sit directly in a ControlLogix or SLC backplane and stand‑alone ProLinx gateways for plant‑level protocol bridging and SCADA connectivity.

Main product families and technologies

• MVI family (MVI56, MVI46, MVI94, and E variants): in‑chassis modules providing Modbus, DNP3, PROFIBUS, Ethernet/IP and other protocol support.
• ProLinx gateways: rack/DIN gateways (5201/5202 and successors) that translate Ethernet and serial field buses; ELX3 ProLinx Edge adds containerized edge app hosting.
• Specialty modules: flow/computation co‑processors, HART interfaces, BASIC/ASCII emulation and programmable application modules.

Typical applications and industries

Use cases include connecting Modbus devices to ControlLogix, integrating DNP3 RTUs for utilities, bridging PROFIBUS or DeviceNet to Ethernet/IP, retrofits that preserve legacy instruments, and edge data aggregation for IIoT initiatives.

How Safsale helps buyers identify and source ProSoft products

• Model and suffix clarity: listings display full part numbers and suffixes that determine protocol and port configuration.
• Images and SKU detail: photos help confirm form factor and connector types.
• Manuals and datasheets: attached PDFs allow verification of wiring, mapping limits and firmware requirements.
• Reviews and Q&A: installer notes and buyer feedback highlight real‑world compatibility tips.
• Lifecycle & replacement info: legacy notices and replacement guidance help plan upgrades and spares.

Practical procurement advice

Always order by full part number and revision. Confirm firmware, AOI and driver compatibility with your controller and SCADA stack. For discontinued ProLinx models consult manufacturer migration notes before committing to a replacement or retrofit.

Note: Safsale currently lists 91 ProSoft products, and provides manuals, images and buyer feedback to support model identification and procurement decisions.
