2-6 Overview of the DH-485 Network

1761-NET-AIC Advanced

Interface Converter Product

Overview

The AIC+ advanced interface converter provides a communication link

between various networks devices. Ports 1, 2, and 3 are used for making the

communication connections. The AIC+ is compatible with a variety of SLC

and MicroLogix controllers and the 1756-DH485 communications module.

The MicroLogix controllers provide power to the AIC+ via port 2’s cable.

However, if a controller is not connected to port 2, a 24V dc power supply

connected to the converter’s external power terminals is required. The DC

power source selector switch needs to be set for your particular configuration.

The baud rate selector switch is used to match the baud rate filter of the AIC+

to the network baud rate. This switch does not change the network baud rate

and is normally left in the AUTO position. In high noise environments, the

baud rate selector switch should be taken out of the AUTO mode and set to

the same baud rate as the network.

Operating Modes

The AIC+ can be used in the following modes for DH-485:

• point-to-point RS-232 isolator

• RS-232 to RS-485 isolator

Communication is established using hardware handshaking or auto transmit

signals.

Device Compatibility

The AIC+ can be used to interconnect the following devices:

• SLC 500, 5/01, 5/02, and 5/03 controllers (channel 1)

• SLC 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 controllers (channel 0)

• MicroLogix controllers

• Logix Controllers

• Operator interface devices

• PC serial ports (or any 9-pin DTE serial port)

• Logix controller serial port (DH485 mode)

• 1756-DH485 module

TIP

The 1761-HHP-B30 Hand-Held Programmer is not

connectable to the AIC+ advanced interface converter.
