Information About 1761-NET-AIC

The 1761-NET-AIC is part of the Advanced Interface Converter (AIC+) family from Allen-Bradley, developed to provide network bridging and electrical isolation between DF1 and DH-485 systems. It supports communication for MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and 1500 controllers, as well as SLC processors like SLC 5/01, 5/02, and 5/03. The unit offers three communication ports: two RS-232 (one 9-pin DB-9 and one 8-pin mini-DIN) and one RS-485 DH-485 port. Designed with 500 VDC internal isolation, it ensures protection and signal integrity in industrial environments. Power is supplied either by an external 24 VDC source or through the connected communication cable, providing installation flexibility. The device includes a DC power selection switch and a communication rate selector, making it adaptable to different system requirements.

Key Features:

  • Communication Ports: Two RS-232 ports (DB-9 and 8-pin mini-DIN) and one DH-485 port for flexible connections.
  • Compatibility: Works with MicroLogix 1000, 1200, 1500, and SLC 5/01, 5/02, 5/03 controllers.
  • Isolation: Provides 500 VDC internal isolation between ports to protect devices and ensure signal integrity.
  • Power Supply: Operates on 20.4–28.8 VDC external supply or through connected communication cable.
  • Switching: Features a DC power source selection switch and communication rate selector switch.
  • Functionality: Can act as a point-to-point isolator or RS-232 to RS-485 isolator for flexible applications.
  • Mounting Options: Supports DIN rail and panel mounting for easy integration.
  • Network Integration: Enables DF1-enabled devices to connect seamlessly to DH-485 networks.

The 1761-NET-AIC delivers the reliability and precision required for network bridging and communication in industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1761-NET-AIC
Question: What is the 1761-NET-AIC?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1761-NET-AIC is an Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) to Serial Converter. It allows communication between Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks and devices that use serial communication (RS-232 or RS-485), enabling interoperability between older devices using the DH+ network and modern PLC systems. This device is often used in systems with SLC 500 controllers and devices that support DH+ communication but need to interface with serial-based devices or equipment.

Question: Where can I find the manual for the 1761-NET-AIC?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The manual for the 1761-NET-AIC can be found on the Rockwell Automation website under the Product Documentation section. The manual includes installation instructions, wiring diagrams, configuration steps, and troubleshooting tips. Additionally, the manual is available in Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000 software, under the device’s configuration options.

Question: How do I configure the 1761-NET-AIC?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1761-NET-AIC can be configured using RSLogix 500 or RSLinX software. Here is a general guide for configuring it:

  • Install the driver: First, ensure that RSLinX is installed on your computer.
  • Set the device parameters: Use the RSLogix 500 or RSLinX software to configure communication settings such as the node address and communication speed (baud rate) for the DH+ network.
  • Connect the DH+ network: Connect the DH+ cable to the DB9 port on the 1761-NET-AIC.
  • Configure the serial device: Set up the connected serial device (e.g., PLC or other peripheral equipment) to communicate over RS-232 or RS-485, and ensure the serial settings match those configured in the 1761-NET-AIC.
  • Test the connection: After configuration, test the connection by using RSLogix 500 or RSLinX to communicate with the connected device.

Detailed configuration steps are available in the product manual.

Question: What RSLinx driver do I need to use with the 1761-NET-AIC?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1761-NET-AIC requires the RSLinx Classic driver to facilitate communication between the device and your computer or control system. The RSLinx Classic software allows the computer to recognize and communicate with the 1761-NET-AIC over the DH+ network. You can use RSLinx Classic to configure the communication settings, set the node address, and establish communication between the PLC and the connected serial device.

Question: Can the 1761-NET-AIC be used to replace other communication devices?
Date Update:29/05/2025
Answer:

The 1761-NET-AIC is specifically designed to replace or extend Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks by providing an interface to serial devices that do not support DH+. It can be used as a replacement for older serial communication devices, such as serial-to-DH+ converters, and to provide serial communication for devices that lack native DH+ support.
