DF1 Port Expander


 

The DataLink DL4000-DFX is a port expander for devices using Allen-Bradley's DF1 protocol. The DFX allows two devices to access the CH0 on A-B PLC's and SLC's. Its size, portability, and DIN rail or desktop mounting options make it convenient for use in both the office and the plant floor. Contact us for more information.
