modbus to dh-485 dl4500

DL4500-MEDH-485
DataLink Mod TCP (Modbus TCP/IP) to DH-485

Datalink's gateway interfaces your Modbus TCP/IP Network to AB’s DH-485 (Data Highway), extending the life of Allen-Bradley PLC’s without Ethernet Interfaces. The DataLink solution allows applications such as RSLogix, RSLinx, and RSView to access devices on a DH-485 network from an Ethernet/IP LAN, enabling users to run MMI applications or program and monitor PLCs on a DH- 485 network from an Ethernet LAN station. Other MMI’s tested include Wonderware, Kepware, and Intellution. The DL4500-MEDH-485 combines the Lantronix Ethernet Microprocessor with Datalink’s DH-485 network technology.

For details, pricing, or to find out if this solution is suitable for your application, please contact us.

Highlights:

Compact and Lightweight: The smallest and lightest freestanding/din rail mounted serial interface for custom networks available.

Configure Port - RS232 DB9 interface to configure/upgrade DL4500 firmware
