The AN-X2-AB-DHRIO is a communication module manufactured by Allen-Bradley's partner company Prosoft Technology. It supports communication with devices using traditional Remote I/O (RIO) and Data Highway Enhanced (DH+) communication protocols.
Allows modern programmable automation controllers (PACs) such as Allen-Bradley's ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers to communicate with devices that use traditional Remote I/O (RIO) and Data Highway Enhanced (DH+) communication protocols.
Up to 32 remote I/O racks are supported and all remote I/O baud rates (e.g., 57.6, 115.2, and 230.4K baud) are supported, as well as 0 to 76 octane remote I/O addressing.
Acts as a bridge between Ethernet /IP and data superhighway plus networks and acts as an operating mode, such as DH+.
Has a built-in web server that can display diagnostic data, configuration, upload configuration files and set operating modes.
The appropriate mode of operation can be selected during initial configuration to implement a variety of solutions, such as replacing an existing remote I/O PLC with ControlLogix or CompactLogix PAC without replacing an existing I/O rack.
Build new controller programs without interrupting existing controls to minimize downtime.
In general, the AN-X2-AB-DHRIO communication module has a wide range of application values in the field of industrial automation.
The module has the following features:
Supports a variety of communication protocols, including Ethernet /IP and DH+, for data exchange with other control systems, monitoring systems or devices.
