dl2000-kfx df1 to dh+
DF1 to DH+ Controller

The DataLink DL2000-KFX contains two serial protocols and is software configurable for either
standard DF1 or bridging modes. Standard DF1 mode is used to provide a serial interface
to DH+ and is suitable as an alternative to A-B's serial interfaces to DH+. Bridging mode is
designed to enable the DL2000-KFX to be used in pairs to bridge local and remote DH+
networks.

df1 to dh+ chartThis standard DF1/DH+ serial protocol
available in the DL2000-KFX is also contained
in the DL2000-KFR and the DL2000-K2F products.
When configured for standard DF1 mode the
DL2000-KFX provides an economical, compact
alternative to Allen-Bradley's 1770-KF2. This
protocol converts A-B DF1 serial protocol to DH+
network protocol and provides a serial interface
to DH+ for computers, modems and OEM
equipment. Applications include PLC
programming and graphical user interfaces
(GUIs and MMIs). The DL2000-KFX will interface
all PCs, Macintosh, desk-tops and portables to
DH+. Its size and portability makes it especially
convenient for use with notebook PCs.
