DL2000-ASM

Serial ASCII Data Interface to Data Highway Plus (DH+)
Send an Receive ASCII Data Packets

The DL2000-ASM is combined ASCII data interface to Allen-Bradley's DH+ network. It provides an AC powered, freestanding interface for Bar Code Scanners, Printers and other ASCII devices to PLC's and SLC's on the DH+ network. It is partically helpful in interfacing devices without a built in ASCII port, such as, A-B's ControlLogix.

In Scanner operation the ASCII data is stored in the units buffer until either a terminating character (CR, LF, CR & LF) or 240 bytes are recieved. Once that happens the packet of ASCII data is sent to an integer file in the PLC. In Printer operation data stored in PLC ASCII files can be outputted to Printers or message displays.
