About ANC-120e 

The  ANC-120e  allows  you  to  connect  a  computer  using  a  free  USB  port  to  a  DH+  network  and 

communicate  with  various  DH+  enabled  devices  such  as  Allen  Bradley’s 

PLC5,  SLC5/04,  SLC5/05, 

ControlLogix series and other devices which might support Allen Bradley DH+ network connectivity. 
ANC-120e  is  designed  to  work  utilizing  the  Ethernet/IP  network  driver  available  in  most  industrial 
communication software suites, such as Allen Bradley RSLinx Classic/Gateway/Enterprise and alike. And 
its auto-configuration features provide a quick and easy connection, as cable polarity, node number and 
baud rate can be auto-detected. For more information on properly configuring your software suite of 
choice to work with ANC-120e, please see the corresponding chapter of this manual.
