Availability: InStock

Description

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Advantages

The AN-X2-AB-DHRIO bridges legacy Allen-Bradley networks with modern industrial Ethernet systems, enabling real-time data exchange between DH+/RIO devices and ControlLogix processors. Its dual-port Ethernet architecture allows daisy-chaining of multiple gateways while maintaining <2ms protocol translation latency. The module’s non-intrusive design operates as a DH+ peer, eliminating network reconfiguration during deployment.

Advanced diagnostics: Built-in web server provides live protocol analysis and error tracking across both DH+ and RIO networks. The 512MB flash memory supports data logging for 30+ days of continuous operation. Hot-swappable terminal blocks enable maintenance without system downtime. Security features include role-based access control and SSL encryption for configuration interfaces, meeting NERC CIP requirements for critical infrastructure.

Application Areas

In automotive manufacturing, the AN-X2-AB-DHRIO integrates legacy PLC-5 controllers with modern MES systems, enabling real-time production data collection from 20-year-old paint shop robots. Water treatment plants use it to migrate SLC 500-based RIO networks to Ethernet/IP, maintaining communication with existing field instruments while adding cloud connectivity.

Oil and gas pipelines leverage its hazardous area certification to retrofit DH+-based compressor control systems without replacing field wiring. The module’s wide temperature tolerance enables deployment in food cold chain facilities, where it connects freezer unit RIO networks to SCADA systems monitoring -25°C environments.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation preparation: Ensure proper grounding of the AN-X2-AB-DHRIO chassis (≤5Ω to earth ground) and maintain 30mm spacing from high-voltage cables. Use Belden 9463 twisted-pair cable for DH+ connections, terminating with 150Ω resistors at both ends. Configure IP addresses through the module’s DHCP server or static assignment before network integration.

Maintenance recommendations: Perform firmware updates annually during planned shutdowns. Monitor DH+ token rotation times monthly via web interface – values exceeding 50ms indicate network health issues. Clean terminal contacts biannually with electronic-grade contact cleaner. Replace backup supercapacitor every 5 years to maintain memory retention during power outages.
