DL7000 User Guide

DL7000 Compactlogix, Controllogix, Microllogix
Application Note

DL7000-ETH/DH+
Ethernet/IP to AB's DH+
using CIP & 2222 Protocols.

Gateway Between Allen-Bradley DH+ PLCs and AB Ethernet / Ethernet/IP.



The DL7000-ETH/DH+:  Ethernet/IP and AB Ethernet Interface to DH+.

The DL7000 is a gateway that interfaces any Newer AB Ethernet/IP & AB Ethernet PLCs (ie. SLC 5/05, Compactlogix, Micrologix or PLC-5E) or MMI/SCADA/Programming package to any device/node on AB’s DH+.

This gateway is a cost-effective alternative to the AB Controllogix Gateway (1756-ENBT and 1756-RIO).

Applications include:

  • SCADA/MMI/Programming Software (RLSINX/LOGIX/VIEW,Wondware, Kepware, Citect, Intellution, et. all) packages using AB Ethernet Drivers can read/write data from/to multiple DH+ nodes.

  • Any AB Ethernet & Ethernet/IP 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).

For details, pricing, or to find out if this 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+

FEATURE: PLC-5 / SLC5/04 on DH+ to Ethernet!

Q: How do I interface a legacy PLC-5 / SLC 5/04 on DH+ to AB’s Ethernet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP?

A:Our DL4500-EDH+ will allow RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via Ethernet TCP/IP.

A:Our DL7000 will allow RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via AB’s Ethernet/IP.
