AN-X4-AB-DHRIO EtherNet/IP to Allen Bradley Remote I/O or Data Highway Plus DH+ Gateway Converter

The AN-X4-AB-DHRIO Gateway is designed to help customers initiate a phased migration approach to replacing or upgrading legacy PLCs and HMI terminals. These solutions can be achieved by selecting the corresponding operating mode during initial configuration.

The AN X4 AB DHRIO has a built-in webserver to view diagnostics, current configuration, upload configuration files, and set the operating mode. It is also DIN Rail Mountable.

Engineering Terminal:

This operating mode acts as a bridge between an EtherNet/IP and a Data Highway Plus network.

• Programming terminals, and/or processors on an EtherNet/IP network can access legacy processors on a DH+ network
• Download to a PLC5 or SLC through RSLinx
• Configured through web browser
• Supports all DH+ baud rates (57.6, 2, and 230.4 K baud)

This operating mode helps the communication between an Ethernet-based processor with legacy processors on a DH+ network.

• Help gather data without changing existing PLC or SLC hardware

HMI

This operating mode allows legacy PanelViews to be upgraded to a PanelView Plus6 or PanelView Plus7 via EtherNet/IP.

• No changes to PLC code required
• Supports up to 8 PanelViews on the same network

AN X4 AB DHRIO Features:

• No changes to PLC code required
• This mode supports upgrading legacy Allen Bradley drives on Remote I/O to new EtherNet/IP enabled drives.
• Configurable with 1/4, 1/2 and full rack addressing
• Supports all PowerFlex drives on EtherNet/IP
• Supports up to 4 EtherNet/IP drives
• This mode allows PLC’s on Remote I/O to connect to and control 1794-AENT EtherNet/IP Flex adapters.
• Supports up to 16 EtherNet/IP connections
• Each adapter and rack of discrete count as a single connection. Each analog module counts as a single connection
• Designed to replace obsolete 1794-ASB adapters
• Supports up to 8 PanelViews on the same network
• This mode allows legacy PanelViews on Remote I/O or DH+ to be upgraded to a PanelView Plus, PanelView Plus 6 or PanelView Plus 7 on EtherNet/IP.
• Support for DH+ to EtherNet/IP PanelViews upgrades on PLC5 or SLC networks
• Programming terminals, and/or processors on an EtherNet/IP network can access legacy processors on a DH+ network
• Supports all DH+ baud rates (57.6, 115.2, and 230.4 K baud)
• Configures through web browser
• Communication must be initiated from the EtherNet/IP side, DH+ Messages cannot be sent to EtherNet/IP devices
• This operating mode acts as a bridge between an EtherNet/IP and a Data Highway Plus network.
• Download to a PLC5 or SLC through RSLinx
• Build new controller program without interrupting existing controls, minimizing downtime
• Supports up to 32 racks of Remote I/O
• Works with both ControlLogix or CompactLogix
• This mode allows users to replace their existing Remote I/O PLC with a ControlLogix or CompactLogix PAC without having to replace existing racks of I/O.
• Auto-Configuration utility discovers baud rate and maps discrete I/O reducing configuration errors
• Supports all Remote I/O baud rates (57.6, 115.2, and 230.4 K baud), and Remote I/O addressing 0 to 76 octal
• 1 Phoenix 3-pin network connector
• 1 RJ45 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
• 1 Phoenix 3-pin power connector
• 2.4W
• 5% to 95% RH, with no condensation
• 107 mm x 126 mm x 34 mm (4.18 in x 4.97 in x 1.33 in) not including connectors
• -40°F to 185°F (-40 ºC to 85 ºC)
• 32°F to 122°F (0 ºC to 50 ºC)
• 200 mA @ 12 Vdc or 100 mA @ 24 Vdc
