Options for interfacing older dh+ plc5s and slc 5/04s to latest ethernet products
Many factory users are looking for a solution to interface their older AB PLC5s and SLC 5/04s on AB DH+ to communicate with newer Ethernet AB PLCs like the SLC 5/05 and PLC 5-Es and perform RSLINX /LOGIX PLC programming via Ethernet.
Which PLC5 do you have?
Choosing your solution will depend on whether you have an older original PLC5 or the next generation PLC5s as per below:
The original AB PLC5/10, 5/12, 5/15, & 5/25 have 2 communication ports which include Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus DH+ or AB Remote (RIO)
The next generation of the PLC-5 processors include 5/11, 5/20, 5/30, 5/40, 5/60, 5/80 which have DH+ and Remote I/O ports, and a 25 pin RS232 communication with DF1 protocol with the option of ordering with an Ethernet or ControlNet port.
What are my Ethernet to DH+ options?
If you are wanting to keep your existing DH+ PLCs5 and SLC 5/04s in your current installation and want to interface newer Ethernet devices, here are a couple of options.
