DL3000 DC-Powered Units
DataLink presents the DL3000 family, the latest addition to our line of freestanding products. DL3000s are 9-30V DC-powered serial DF1 interfaces to DH+ or RIO. They are available in either desktop (rubber feet) or DIN rail (mounting clips) versions, making them ideal for portable, office, and control panel applications. DL3000s interface PCs, laptops, modems, MMIs, and OEM equipment to industrial networks such as Data Highway Plus. Typical applications include Operator Interfaces, PLC programming, remote communications via modems, and SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition).

Device Compatibility
All DataLink DL3000 products work with standard Allen-Bradley DF1 (A-B DF1) serial drivers and interface to all products (software and hardware) that use this protocol. Please contact us to find out if the DL3000 is suitable for your application.

DF1 to DH+ or DH+ to DH+ bridge

Use in Standard (A-B DF1 to DH+) mode as an alternative to A-B's 1770-KF2, or configure a pair of DataLink DL3000-KFX units in Bridging mode mode to enable DH+ to DH+ network bridging and DH+ network bandwidth expansion.

Interface Ethernet/IP and Data Highway Plus networks, extending the life of Allen-Bradley PLC-5s. Allows RSLogix, RSLinx and RSView to access devices on DH+ network from an Ethernet/IP LAN.

DL3000-E2

Ethernet TCP/IP to DH+

Get access to Data Highway Plus networks from an Ethernet LAN terminal. Two packaged solutions are immediately available, with a third 'all-in-one' solution in development.

Interfaces serial devices and networks using Modbus protocol to DH+. Configurable for Modbus Master or Modbus Slave in RTU or ASCII modes. Enables communications between DH+ and Modbus Plus when combined with a Modicon BM85 Bridge Multiplexer.

Facilitates data transfer from ASCII devices to all Allen-Bradley PLCs, including those with no ASCII port, such as A-B’s ControlLogix. Or interface serial printers and message displays to PLC5s over DH+.
