PS – Special thanks goes out to the folks at Automation Networks for sending over the ANC-120e for me to test – thanks guys! So if you're in the market for a USB to Data Highway Plus converter, or just curious to see how the ANC-120e works, check out Episode 35 of The Automation Podcast below: In fact, the entire podcast from un-boxing to making online edits in a SLC-5/04 and PLC-5/20, took less than 20 minutes. There must be some catch right? Like it's hard to setup or something? In fact, I couldn't see any difference between my ControlLogix Gateway and the ANC-120e. RSLinx clients such as RSLogix 5/500/5000 can connect over Ethernet through an RSLinx Gateway and seamlessly go online to a PLC-5, SLC-5, MicroLogix, or ControlLogix processor residing on a control. Remote Gateway Connectivity RSLinx Gateway extends communications throughout the enterprise. Well if you haven't looked lately, that Rockwell cable now lists for a whopping $3,140, while the ANC-120e lists for $995.īut how well could a third party DH+ cable really work?Īs I demonstrate in today's podcast, it actually works really well. only available with RSLinx Professional and Gateway.
Now you may be asking yourself why the folks over at Automation Networks would release a USB to DH+ converter when Rockwell already makes the 1784-U2DHP?
In today's episode of The Automation Podcast I take a look at the ANC-120e USB to Data Highway Plus converter from Automation Networks.
