Traditional applications include: DF1, ASCII & Modbus
interfaces to AB's Data Highway Plus (DH+) & DH485. DataLink’s
more cost efficient and reliable solutions include replacements
to 1770-KF2, 1770-KF3,1784-KTX, 1784-PKTX, 1784-PCMK and SST 5136-SD products.
Newer applications include: Ethernet TCP/IP, AB
Ethernet/IP, ControlLogix , Compactlogix, Micrologix, & SLC
5/05 interfaces to legacy AB Data Highway Plus (DH+), DH-485 and
Remote I/O.
HMI & SCADA Applications: RSLinx, RSLogix, Wonderware, Siemens
Win CC, Modicon Concept, Citect, Kepware, Intellution FIX can now
interface between Ethernet TCP IP, ModTCP, & AB Ethernet IP to Legacy
AB DH+, DH485 and RIO.
DataLink Solutions
for your Application:
Q: I just bought a new PC and discovered that it has a smaller PCI slot that the 1784-PKTx card doesn't support. Can you help me out?
A: DataLink can provide an external, palm-sized, USB DL3500 controller to solve that problem. Our products are: DL3500-DH+/DF1 and DL3500-DH-485/DF1.
Q: We are looking for a system to take some downtime information off of several Micrologix PLCs and link them to a SLC 5/04 PLC .
A: We have two possible solution for this application:
DL3500-DH+/DF1: This solution will enable the Micrologix via Channel 0 (DF1) to become a node on DH+.
DL7000-ETH/DH+. This solution will allow the Micrologix (AB Ethernet) to access the nodes on DH+.
Q: I
would like to interface
my Modbus TCP/IP Network to AB’s Data
Highway Plus DH+ so I extend the life of my PLCs without upgrading each processor to Ethernet. Do
you have a product that will do this?
A: Yes,
our DL4500-MEDH+ and DL4500-MEDH-485 allows
applications such as RSLogix, RSLinx, and RSView
to access devices on a DH+ network
from an Ethernet/IP LAN, enabling users to run MMI
applications or program and monitor PLCs on a DH+
network from an Ethernet LAN station. Other MMI’s
tested include Wonderware, Kepware, and Intellution
Q:
Why
would I go with your DL7000-ETH/DH+
(Ethernet/IP gateway to DH+) instead of upgrading all my AB Equipment
(ie. PLC5s) to Ethernet/IP?
A:
Cost. You only need one DL7000-ETH/DH+
per DH+. You don't have to upgrade each PLC5 processor on DH+
to a PLC5E . This can save significant money if you have a big DH+
Network. This functionality allows RSLinx/RSLogix on Ethernet/IP
have access to all the nodes on your DH+. More About the IAP: DataLink
now offers the DL7000-ETH/DH+ package that significantly reduces
your AB Ethernet upgrading costs as you don't need to replace each
DH+ PLC processor/device. Simply make the DL7000 a node
on DH+ and then interface to your AB Ethernet. AB PLC users can interface bi-directionally
between Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+)
/ DH-485 and AB Ethernet (CIP & 2222 protocols). AB Ethernet (Master) to DH+ is the
optimal communication direction. This allows multiple AB Ethernet
(CIP and 2222) devices to communicate to multiple DH+ nodes using
the DataLink DL7000.
Datalink Solution: PLC-5 / SLC5/04 via DH+ to Ethernet!
Q::
How do I interface a legacy PLC-5 / SLC 5/04 via DH+ to AB’s
Ethernet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP?
A:
Our DL4500-EDH+ will allow
RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via Ethernet TCP/IP.
A: Our DL7000-ETH/DH+ will allow RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via AB’s Ethernet/IP.
