- DataLink now offers the DL3500-DH+/IAP package that significantly reduces your AB Ethernet upgrading costs as you don't need to replace each DH+ PLC processor/device.

- Simply make the DL3500-DH+/IAP a node on DH+ and then interface to your AB Ethernet.

- AB PLC users can interface bi-directionally between Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) / DH-485 and AB Ethernet (CIP & 2222 protocols).

- AB Ethernet (Master) to DH+ is the optimal communication direction. This allows multiple AB Ethernet (CIP and 2222) devices to communicate to multiple DH+ nodes using the DataLink DL3500-DH+/IAP.

Ethernet IP to DH-485 protocol converter

Typical examples:

• SLC 5/05 read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+
• SLC 5/05 read/write file/tags to PLC 5 on DH+
  
  
• Micrologix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.
• Micrologix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.
  
  
• CompactLogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.
• CompactLogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.
  
  
• PLC 5E on AB Ethernet 2222 read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.
• PLC 5E on AB Ethernet 2222 read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.
   
• Flexlogix on AB Ethernet/IP  read/write files/tags to SLC 5/04 on DH+.
• Flexlogix on AB Ethernet/IP read/write files/tags to PLC 5 on DH+.

Multiple DH+ Nodes to AB Single Ethernet IP address:
- Communication from either a DH+ programming station (RSLINX/LOGIX) or a DH+ PLC to one AB Ethernet node (ie. PLC 5E / SLC5/05). A typical example allowing a Message Instruction to read/write data from your existing DH+ network to your new Ethernet device.

Multiple AB Ethernet devices to any DH+ node - Applications include:
MMI (WW, Kepware, Citect, Intellution, et. all) packages using AB Ethernet Drivers can read/write data from/to multiple DH+ nodes. Any AB Ethernet PLC (MicroLogix, SLC 5/05, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, PLC-5E, ControlLogix) will be able to send either read or write MSG (message) instructions to any DH+ PLC (SLC 5/04, PLC-5) across the DL3500-DH+/IAP bridge.
