Ethernet/IP & Ethernet TCP/IP to DH+ / DH-485 ($1,250)
DataLink Technologies Gateways, Inc. is an engineering company, providing a single converter, multi-protocol gateway for (AB) Allen Bradley PLC users; providing a one-box protocol DH+/DH-485 converter between Ethernet/IP, AB Ethernet, ModTCP and serial (DF1, ASCII, Modbus) protocols. Custom engineering to AB Data Highway Plus (DH+) and DH-485 are available.
The GW1000 platform is a lower priced ($1,250 list), multi-protocol gateway that performs like a “mini” DH+ Controllogix gateway that can be easily converted by the client for other applications including serial DF1, ASCII, Modbus, ModTCP & custom to AB’s DH+ and DH-485.

DataLink GW1000 multi-protocol gateway most common applications include:
Ethernet/IP to DH+ GW1000-ABEIP Functionality:
• Ethernet Remote Programming to Legacy PLCs: SCADA/MMI/Programming Software (RLSINX/LOGIX/VIEW,Wondware, Kepware, Citect, Intellution, etc.) packages using AB Ethernet /ModTCP Drivers can read/write data from/to multiple DH+/DH-485 nodes.
• New AB PLCs to Legacy PLCs: Any AB Ethernet & Ethernet/IP PLC (MicroLogix, SLC 5/05, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, PLC-5E, ControlLogix) as Master will be able to send either read or write MSG (message) instructions to any DH+ PLC (SLC 5/02 SLC 5/03 SLC 5/04, PLC-5/20, PLC 5/30, PLC 5/40, etc.).
• New AB PLCs to Legacy Panelviews: DH+ as Master allows applications such as Panelview on DH+ to message SLC 5/05 on Ethernet.
Serial (DF1, Modbus RTU ASII interface to DH+) Functionality:
• GW1000-DHP1: DF1 to DH+ alternative to Allen-Bradley’s 1770-KF2 and 1784-U2DHP. It also provides an external option for the 1784-P(KTX), 1784-PKTX, 1784-PCMK or SST 5136-SD.
• GW1000-DHPM: Modbus RTU to DH+ gateway that allows any DH+ node to communicate to Modbus RTU devices in either Modbus Master or Modbus Slave mode.
• GW1000-DHPA: Scanners, printers, and message displays located anywhere on a DH+ network can send and receive ASCII messages to and from PLCs in other locations.

Product Testimonial
The GW1000-DHP1 is unbelievable….it keeps on running in the most disgusting, hazardous environment you could ever imagine. We didn’t even know what the controller was because of all the messy residue covering the box….it just keeps on working. J.S. , Gas Material Corporation. DF1 to DH+.
This device connects DH+ to DF1.
