The DL3500 continues the functionality of the current DL2000/DL3000 product line. It offers both the new addition of DH-485 as well as a plug and play USB interface. As well as having the DH+ and 232/422/485 capabilities of the DL3000. The fully populated DL3500 Model will also allow Bridging between DH+ (Data Highway Plus) and DH485 networks in one unit. New is the ability to power the DL3500 from the USB communication link, removing the sometimes cumbersome procedure of location an AC or DC power supply when using laptops or PC’s in the field.

Compact alternative to Allen-Bradley's 1770-KF3. The DataLink converts (USB or serial) A-B DF1 serial protocol to A-B DH-485.

Interfaces serial devices and networks using Modbus protocol to DH485. Configurable for Modbus Master or Modbus Slave in RTU or ASCII modes.

ASCII to DH-485 Network

ASCII to DH-485: Interface network scanners, printers, and message displays to A-B’s DH-485 network.

DL3500-
DH+/DF1
$1395 USD List

The DL3500-DH+/DF1 is a low cost, compact alternative to Allen-Bradley's 1770-KF2. Also provides the same functionality as the 1784-P(KTX), 1784-PCMK or SST 5136-SD.The DataLink converts A-B DF1, (Modbus & ASCII also available) serial protocol to A-B DH+ network protocol providing a serial interface to DH+ for computers, modems and OEM equipment.

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.

DH+ to ASCII

The DL3500-DH+/ASCII is an amalgamation of two existing products: the DL3000-ASM and the DL3000-ASC. The improved compact freestanding ASCII serial interface gives customers the ability to send as well as receive ASCII messages via A-B Data Highway Plus.

DH+ to RIO

The DataLink DL3500-KFR is a compact, freestanding, serial interface to Allen-Bradley industrial networks. This unit contains one network protocol, software configurable for Remote I/O Link (RIO) networks. The DataLink connects any serial device capable of A-B serial DF1 (Standard DF1) protocol to A-B's RIO Link.

Requires two or more DL3500's with DataLink's proven bridging algorithim to create a bridge between DH+ networks. Simple configuration using our DL32 program of the bridging and DH+ Parameters is all that is needed. Can be used with Optical, Radio, or Telephone Modems to achieve remote network access. Global Status Word passing between the networks is also available.
