The Data Highway Plus/RIO module performs the following functions:
*Data Highway Plus™ (DH+) Messaging
*CIP Messaging
*Remote I/O
You can send messages betweena DH+ nodes and other networks which include ControlNet, Ethernet, or other DH+ Networks. A 1756-DHRIO acts as a scanner by using Remote I/O capabilities. The module exchanges discrete and block transfer data within remote i/o devices. This module gives connectivity between numerous remote I/O adapters.
Messaging between AB DH+ and CIP
The 1756-DRHIO provides a way for information to be transfered between devices between PLC-5s, SLCs and other Controllogix for the following:
• Different network Communications between with PLC-5s or SLCs
• Different network Communications between ControlLogix processors and a PLC-5s or SLCs.
• Different network Communications Between ControlLogix processors.
Details on Data Highway Plus:
Data Highway Plus is a cable or wire with a protocol that provides intercommunication between PCs and devices. The
networking cable used is named the network medium. A DH+ connections moves data between PLCs on DH+ such as PLCs, SLCs and ControlLogix processors and other DH+ nodes. You can interface up to 32 stations to one DH+ connections.
In the world of automation and control systems, you may have encountered the term “Modbus Gateway.” But what exactly does this term mean? How does it function, and why is it vital in our technology-driven world? This article is your comprehensive guide to understanding Modbus Gateway.
Modbus, an established communication protocol used extensively in industrial control systems, has withstood the test of time due to its simplicity and ease of deployment. But, as with any technical protocol, understanding error codes is essential to ensure smooth operation.
Modbus communication is not a new term in the industrial automation field. Established in 1979 by Modicon, it has become a de facto standard communication protocol, especially in the realm of industrial automation. How has it managed to stay relevant over all these decades, you ask? Well, its simplicity, reliability, and open-source nature have played significant roles in its longevity.
Discover the many ways a Modbus RTU Converter can benefit your industrial automation systems.
Modbus is a communication protocol developed by Modicon systems. Primarily used with Industrial devices, it’s designed to allow these devices to communicate over various types of media, including both wired and wireless networks.
Before diving into the world of Modbus to Ethernet converters, it’s essential to understand these two key concepts individually.
