The Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO is a high-performance communication gateway module designed for industrial automation and is primarily used to connect EtherNet/IP networks with Allen-Bradley's traditional Remote I/O (RIO) or Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks. Realize cross-protocol data interaction and system upgrade. Here is a detailed breakdown of its core message:

1. Core functions and technical parameters

Protocol transformation and data integration

Core role: As EtherNet/IP RIO/DH + gateway, support the modern ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLC controller and the old car - 5, 500, SLC PanelView man-machine interface, PowerFlex drive devices such as seamless connection.

Protocol support:

EtherNet/IP: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface that supports standard industrial communication protocols.

RIO/DH+ : Compatible with 57.6, 115.2, 230.4 kbaud bau

d rates, support 0-76 octal rack number configuration.

Data mapping: Automatically maps discrete I/O data from the RIO/DH+ network to ControlLogix's scheduled data, simplifying programming complexity.

Hardware specification

Interface:

Ethernet: 1 RJ45 port (supports DHCP/static IP).

RIO/DH+ : 2 3-pin Phoenix connectors (support Daisy chain connection).

Power supply: 12V/24V DC (power consumption 200 mA/100 mA).

Physical characteristics:

Dimensions: 107mm x 126mm x 34mm (DIN rail or tabletop mount).

Operating temperature: 0°C to 50°C, storage temperature: -40°C to 85°C.

Configuration and management

Built-in Web server: Remotely configure parameters, upload configuration files, and monitor diagnostic data (such as communication status and error logs) through a browser.

Automatic detection: Supports DH+ baud rate and polarity automatic detection, reducing manual configuration errors.

Operation mode:

Transparent mode: Allows EtherNet/IP devices to directly access the PLC-5/SLC 500 of the DH+ network.

Migration mode: The old system is upgraded in phases, and the new and old controllers can run in parallel.

2. Typical application scenarios

System upgrade and compatibility expansion

Old equipment benefit: Without replacing old equipment such as PLC-5/SLC 500, PanelView, etc., through AN-X2-AB-DHRIO, it is connected to the new EtherNet/IP network to achieve system modernization.

Phased migration: When upgrading to a ControlLogix system, the old system can be monitored in real time through the gateway to ensure new program compatibility and reduce downtime.

Data interaction across the network

Multi-protocol integration: Support DH+ network drives, I/O module data transfer to EtherNet/IP network SCADA system or cloud platform.

HMI upgrade: Replace the old PanelView terminal with the PanelView Plus 6 series, and maintain communication with the original PLC through the gateway.

Industrial environment adaptation

High reliability: ProSoft's industrial-grade design supports stable operation in harsh environments such as high temperature and vibration.

Redundant design: Although hardware redundancy is not explicitly mentioned, network-level backup (such as dual Ethernet ports) is supported.

Third, key advantages

Simplify integration and maintenance

Plug and play: Configure parameters quickly through the Web interface without modifying the PLC code.

Automatic polarity detection: reduce physical wiring errors and reduce debugging costs.

Economy and flexibility

Protect investment: Avoid total replacement of old equipment and extend its life cycle.

Multi-device support: A single gateway can connect 32 RIO racks, 4 Ethernet drives, and 8 PanelView terminals.

Security and certification

Compliance: Complies with UL 508, CE and other industrial standards (need to confirm the specific model certification).

Network security: Supports the configuration of firewall rules to protect industrial networks from external attacks
