The ANC-120e is an economical and high performance USB-to-Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus converter interfacing major HMI, SCADA, PLC Programming packages to Devices on DH+. The PLC Programming Cable is a superior alternative to AB’s 1784-U2DHP.
EtherNet/IP: Ethernet Industrial Protocol is based on standard TCP/IP (IEEE 802.3) and correspondences use existing system foundation. Ethernet physical layer innovation is utilized along TCP and UDP ports (44818 and 2222)
Automation Networks has many Ethernet/IP ANC Converter Gateways solutions to various protocols including Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+), Modbus Master/Slave, Modbus Sniffer, A.O. Smith AIN, A.O. Smith PDNP, BACnet MS/TP Client, BACnet MS/TP Server, TCS Basys Master, MSA Chillgard Monitor, DMX 512-Master, DMX-512 Slave, M-Bus Master, Metasys N2 Master, Metasys N2 Slave, Siemens FLN Master, Siemens FLN Slave, Sullair Master, Toshiba ASD Master, Toshiba PLC Master.
N found this old forum http://control.com/thread/1026157627#1026157627 discussing the difference AB PLC 5 and the Siemens alternative S5; and the comparable difference between the AB Controllogix Gateway and the Siemens S7. Here are some comments that may help to clarify the differences and which solution can be optimal pending your application.

Manufacturing is going through major changes, similar to what has happened in the health care and education areas , thanks to all the connection to the the Internet of Everything (IoE).
The promise of time-sensitive networking has pushed the growth of Ethernet networks, but fieldbus networks still account for more than half of the industrial uses. Which is right for you?
As the Annual ODVA Industry Conference approaches, I’m preparing presentations for the EtherNet/IP Implementors Workshop which will be held in conjunction with the conference.
October 2021: The ANC-100e interface allows how many connections at the same time. Is It Possible To Be Connected With Wonderware InTouch (ABCIP / HMI) And RsLinx (RsLogix 5 / Edit o Debug Program) At The Same Time? Answer: There is no limit in the amount of connections that the ANC-100e supports. The limit is […]
The best driver to use in RSLinx Classic is the Ethernet Devices driver. Specify the IP Address of the ANC-100e gateway in the driver configuration. The gateway emulates a 4 slot ControlLogix chassis with an ethernet module and a DH+ bridge module in the chassis (with just the A channel).
There are several OPC servers that have been tested or are known to work through ANC-100e running the DH+ bridge firmware: RSLinx Classic using the Ethernet Devices driverWonderware using the DASABCIP driverKepware using the ControlLogix Ethernet driver TopServer using AB controLogix Ethernet Driver PeakHMI AB PCCC SLC Master Driver Additional OPC Servers may work with […]
