DataLink GW1500-ABEIP-DH-485

Multi-Protocol Ethernet/IP & AB Ethernet to AB’s DH-485 Converter $1,395 US List.

The DataLink GW1500-ABEIP-DH-485 is a gateway between both Ethernet/IP and Allen Bradley(AB) Ethernet to AB’s DH-485 Network, bridging Legacy PLCs to Ethernet.

In Ethernet mode, the GW1500 has the ability to communicate with 5 Ethernet connections simultaneously to multiple DH-485 nodes (ie. up to 5 RSLINX workstations, MicroLogix, SLC 5/05, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, PLC-5E, ControlLogix) .

 Overview:

The GW1500 is the next generation gateway that provides Remote Ethernet PLC  programming (RSLINX/LOGIX) to multiple DH-485 nodes.  This solution extends the life of legacy PLC2s, PLC3s,  SLC/03s on Allen-Bradley DH-485 ,  by eliminating the need to upgrade each PLC with an Ethernet processor.

The GW1500 hardware is a multi-protocol gateway that can easily be converted to several protocols with a firmware change (ie. DF1, ASCII, Modbus, ModTCP, AB Ethernet or Ethernet/IP to multiple DH+/DH-485) all for $1,395 USD list.  

You may wish to program via RSLINX (AB Ethernet driver) remotely over Ethernet with our GW1500-ABEIP-DH-485 firmware or switch firmware to DH+ with  GW1500-ABEIP firmware.

Applications include:

SCADA / MMI / Programming Software (RLSINX/LOGIX/VIEW,Wonderware, Kepware, Citect,  IFIX, CTC Parker etc.) packages using AB Ethernet Drivers can read/write data from/to multiple DH -485nodes.

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-485 (SLC 5/03, PLC2, PLC3).

Highlights:

Protocol Flexibility: The GW1500  is a multi-protocol gateway that can be easily converted between DF1, ASCII, Modbus, ModTCP, AB Ethernet or Ethernet/IP to DH+ or DH-485 with a simple firmware change.

Compact and Lightweight: Palm-size, portable freestanding Din Rail/desktop controller with USB, AC/DC power option. Size and portability makes it convenient for use in the office, the plant floor, or when travelling.

Easy Configuration: All setup &  configuration is done via Web screen or Telnet.

Cost efficient Alternatives:  All protocols are available in one GW1500 Gateway for $1,395 USD list.
