Gateway between Legacy AB PLCs and AB Ethernet IP

DataLink now offers the DL7000-ETH/DH+ which can significantly reduce your AB Ethernet upgrading costs. Simply make the DL3500-DH+/IAP a node on DH+ and then interface to your AB Ethernet/Ethernet/IP. AB PLC users can interface bi-directionally between Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) 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-ETH/DH+. If cost savings are a concern, the DL7000-ETH/DH+ is your gateway solution. The DL7000-ETH/DH+ interfaces newer AB PLCs (ie. SLC 5/05) on AB Ethernet and Ethernet/IP to read/write data to PLCs on DH+. This solution provides an cost efficient alternative to upgrading your DH+

Ethernet IP to DH+ protocol converter

DL7000-ETH/DH+ Applications Include: The ability to take multiple DH+ destination addresses and map to multiple Ethernet/IP addresses or multiple PLCs. A PLC on DH+ can initiate a message through the device to read a register from a PLC5/40E using the AB 222 (ethernet) protocol.

Typical examples:

  • SLC 5/05 read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+

  • SLC 5/05 read/write file/tags to PLC 5 on DH+

  • Micrologix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.

  • Micrologix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.

  • CompactLogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.

  • CompactLogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.

  • PLC 5E on AB Ethernet 2222 read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.

  • PLC 5E on AB Ethernet 2222 read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.
     

  • Flexlogix on AB Ethernet/IP  read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.

  • Flexlogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+

Multiple DH+ Nodes to AB Single Ethernet IP address:
- Communication from either a DH+ programming station (RSLINX/LOGIX) or a DH+ PLC to one AB Ethernet node (ie. PLC 5E / SLC5/05). A typical example allowing a Message Instruction to read/write data from your existing DH+ network to your new Ethernet device.

Multiple AB Ethernet devices to any DH+ node - Applications include:
MMI (WW, Kepware, Citect, Intellution, et. all) packages using AB Ethernet Drivers can read/write data from/to multiple DH+ nodes. Any AB Ethernet PLC (MicroLogix, SLC 5/05, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, PLC-5E, ControlLogix) will be able to send either read or write MSG (message) instructions to any DH+ PLC (SLC 5/04, PLC-5) across the DL7000-ETH/DH+ bridge
