How To Find Reliable Ethernet IP Conversion to DH+

There may be occasions when businesses need to convert Ethernet IP to DH++. But how does a company find the best solutions for these needs? And how do they find reliable products that are priced reasonably? Good questions, and questions which are answered with the DataLink gateway GW1000.

The GW1000 is a cost effective way to convert Ethernet IP to DH+. It interfaces with any newer AB Ethernet IP and 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+. It is a great alternative to the AB Controllogix Gateway (1756-ENBT and 1756-RIO).

Its reliable applications include:

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

Any AB Ethernet and 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 5/04, PLC-5).

DH+ as Master allows applications such as Panelview on DH+ to message SLC 5/05 on Ethernet.

As a conversion option for Ethernet IP to DH+ it cannot be beat, and DataLink backs this up with an outstanding 30-day money-back guarantee as well as a five-year warranty on parts and service. Because they do their own engineering, DataLink is able to provide their customers with the communication solutions that they need and do so at prices that are often far less than found elsewhere. They are also able to provide their customers with a level of reliability that is also often hard to find elsewhere.

DataLink products are already known for their excellent performance, reliability and value. Their products are engineered to meet or exceed the most demanding requirements of industrial applications and are well suited for providing the connectivity required for efficient and cost-effective communications and control needed by businesses today. Much of the technology that DataLink has engineered was due in part to customer feedback and input. In other words, DataLink listened to their customers comments and needs and began working to engineer solutions that would fill those needs.

It was because of customer input that DataLink engineered a single-box DH+/DH-485 interface, the GW1000 platform, a lower priced ($1,395 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 and custom to AB's DH+ and DH-485. Thousands of the DataLink GW1000 units are now successfully operating around the globe.
