The Allen-Bradley 1747-UIC allows computers with USB ports to interface with DH-485 devices. It supports SLC 500, MicroLogix, ControlLogix controllers, PanelView terminals, and 1747-AIC / 1761-NET-AIC isolators. The converter ensures reliable communication and eliminates the need for older PIC/AIC+ drivers in RSLinx.
Key Features
- Embedded DH-485 driver compatible with RSLinx DF1 RS-232 full-duplex driver
- Two switch-selectable DH-485 ports:
- RJ-45: Connects to SLC 500, 5/01–5/03, AIC, PanelView products
- RS-232 DB9: Connects to SLC 5/03+ CPUs, AIC+, MicroLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, ControlLogix, PanelView
- Supports COM1–COM31 for DF1 driver communication
- Includes 12-inch USB cable; USB-powered (no external power required)
- Provides 500V DC isolation between power common and DH-485 common
- Compatible with standard programming cables (purchased separately)
- Supports Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP with RSLinx 2.41 or higher
