PROSOFT TECHNOLOGY: Interoperability Authority for Industrial Control Modernisation
ProSoft Technology develops industrial communication solutions that enable systems using different protocols, vendors, and generations of equipment to operate as a unified architecture. These technologies are applied where communication gaps exist between control systems, field devices, and enterprise layers.
Industrial Interoperability Without System Replacement
ProSoft enables communication between systems that were never designed to work together, without requiring full infrastructure replacement.
Industrial environments are inherently fragmented. Different PLC platforms, legacy protocols, and vendor-specific systems create isolated islands of data where communication is either limited or impossible.
ProSoft acts as a protocol translation layer, allowing these systems to exchange data reliably while maintaining their native operation. This removes the need for full system replacement and enables integration across existing infrastructure.
The objective is not simply connectivity. It is controlled and reliable communication across dissimilar systems.
Where This Applies
Manufacturing & Automation
Multi-vendor PLC environments where real-time data exchange is required across different control platforms.
Oil & Gas
Upstream, midstream, and downstream systems where SCADA, flow data, and legacy infrastructure must integrate reliably.
Water & Wastewater
Distributed systems where remote assets and control platforms must communicate consistently across distance.
Energy & Utilities
Power generation and substation environments where protocol integration enables coordinated system operation.
Material Handling & Logistics
Automated systems requiring wireless communication and integration between controllers, drives, and sensors.
Infrastructure & Smart Systems
Distributed infrastructure where data must be exchanged across varied systems and communication layers.

Protocol Gateways — The Core Integration Layer
Gateways translate between industrial protocols, allowing systems to communicate as if they were designed together.
Industrial systems commonly operate on incompatible protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus, PROFIBUS, and DNP3. Without translation, these systems cannot exchange data.
ProSoft gateways resolve this by converting communication in real time, ensuring that data flows accurately between systems without requiring modification to existing devices.

In-Chassis Communication Modules
Direct integration into PLC backplanes enables high-speed protocol communication without external hardware.
Installed within Rockwell and Schneider PLC platforms, these modules enable real-time communication between the controller and external systems.
This provides:

Industrial Wireless Communication
Wireless connectivity enables communication with mobile and hard-to-reach systems where physical cabling is not feasible.
ProSoft wireless solutions support:
- Wi-Fi communication for mobile systems
- Ethernet and serial wireless links
- Connectivity for automated material handling and remote assets

Secure Remote Connectivity & IIoT Enablement
Remote access and data integration enable visibility and control across distributed industrial systems.
ProSoft enables secure remote connectivity and integration into IIoT platforms, supporting diagnostics, monitoring, and data-driven operations:
- Secure remote access for maintenance and diagnostics
- Data integration into IIoT platforms
- Centralised monitoring of distributed assets
This supports:

Legacy System Integration & Modernisation
Existing systems can be integrated into modern architectures without shutdown or replacement.
Industrial environments often rely on legacy communication systems that cannot be easily replaced.
ProSoft enables:
- Bridging between legacy and modern protocols
- Phased migration strategies
- Continued operation during system upgrades
This avoids:

How ProSoft Fits Into Your Network Architecture
ProSoft operates as the interoperability and integration layer within industrial systems that would otherwise remain isolated.
It enables:
- Communication between different PLC platforms
- Integration of legacy systems into modern networks
- Data exchange across protocols and vendors
Where systems cannot communicate, ProSoft provides the bridge.
Integration With Westermo
Stable communication requires both network control and protocol interoperability. These roles are complementary, not interchangeable.
Westermo provides:
- Deterministic network behaviour
- Stable switching and routing
- Controlled communication paths
ProSoft provides:
- Protocol translation
- System integration
- Data interoperability
Together, they form a complete architecture:
- Westermo ensures that communication is stable and predictable
- ProSoft ensures that communication is understood across systems
Without Westermo, communication becomes unstable. Without ProSoft, communication remains isolated. ProSoft does not replace network infrastructure. It ensures that systems understand each other across the network.
