Prosoft A-DH485R/B DH485 Router

The A-DH485R/B DH485 Router provides intelligent data routing between

EtherNet/IP™ and DH485. simplifying the migration from MicroLogix and

SLC systems with DH485 communications to EtherNet/IP based

ControlLogix or CompactLogix platforms.

The Router can be used for remote programming of a SLC5/03 controller

via Ethernet.

The DH485 Router’s AIC Mode provides direct conversion between RS485

and RS232. an ideal replacement for Rockwell’s 1761-NET-AIC module.

Alternatively, the Router makes use of the DH485 destination Node

Address, (and Data File address in certain modes), to determine the target

Logix controller. The mapping table, which can be configured in minutes,

supports connections up to 8 Logix controllers.

In Transparent PCCC mode, the user will be able to program and connect

to SLC5/03 PLCs.

The Router can operate in both Logix “owned” and standalone mode. With

a Logix connection, the input and output assemblies will provide additional

diagnostics information in the Logix controller environment.

The Router’s RS485 port uses a terminal block for convenient installation.

A built-in webserver provides detailed diagnostics of system configuration

and operation, including the display of received DH485 communication

packets, without the need for any additional software.
