Advanced Interface Converter AIC+
The AIC+ (Advanced Interface Converter, 1761-NET-AIC) provides a simplified, cost effective
solution for connecting RS-232 devices to DH-485 networks. Use the AIC+ for communications
connectivity with the MicroLogix 1000 DH-485 networking series controller. The AIC+ is also a good
choice for providing point-to-point RS-232 isolation.
The AIC+ can replace the 1747-PIC/1747-AIC combination when using channel 0 of an SLC 5/03 or
SLC 5/04 processor to access DH-485 or DF1 master-slave networks.
When connecting a QuickPanel to the AIC+ DH485 Port3, you must use the AB SLC DH485 protocol.
