Information About 1784-U2DHP
The 1784-U2DHP provides seamless connectivity between modern PCs and legacy Allen-Bradley controllers operating on DH+ networks. It features a USB connector on one end and an 8-pin DIN connector on the other, with a total length of 3.05 m (USB cable 0.61 m, DH+ cable 2.44 m). It supports three DH+ communication rates: 57.6 kbps (maximum network length 3048 m), 115.2 kbps (1524 m), and 230.4 kbps (762 m). The device includes a 3-position switch for node address configuration and LED indicators for USB status, power, and DH+ network activity. It draws power from the USB port, consuming 125 mA at 5 VDC (1.575 W dissipation), with isolation voltage of 30 V. The adapter is enclosed in an IP30-rated housing and is designed for operation in environments from 0 to 55 °C. Typical applications include connecting programming workstations to PLC-5 processors (except classic PLC-5/10, 5/12, 5/15, and 5/25) and SLC 5/04 controllers, replacing older PCMCIA-based solutions such as the 1784-PCMK with PCM6 cables.
Key Features:
- Design: Portable USB-to-DH+ communication adapter.
- Compatibility: Supports PLC-5 (except classic models) and SLC 5/04 controllers.
- Connectors: USB interface to PC; 8-pin DIN connector for DH+ network.
- Cable Length: 3.05 m total (0.61 m USB, 2.44 m DH+).
- Protocols: Data Highway Plus (DH+) using RS-485 convention.
- Data Rates: 57.6 kbps (3048 m), 115.2 kbps (1524 m), 230.4 kbps (762 m).
- Power Supply: 5 VDC from USB port, 125 mA current draw, 1.575 W dissipation.
- Indicators: LED status for USB, power, and DH+ network activity.
- Housing: IP30-rated enclosure, portable design.
- Environmental Ratings: Operating 0…55 °C, storage –40…85 °C.
The 1784-U2DHP provides a reliable and portable interface for connecting modern computers to legacy DH+ networks, ensuring continued productivity in systems using PLC-5 and SLC controllers.
