1.0 DLPCIe General Operation & Applications
The DLPCIe continues the functionality of the current DLPC/DLPCI product line. It offers both the
new addition of DH-485 as well an extra Serial com port. New is the ability to have the DLPCIe an
extra serial communication port that most desktops don’t have.
The DLPCIe has two communication ports. Channel A is designed to connect to you industrial network,
either A-B’s DH+ or DH-485 networks. Channel B is used to connect to your serial DF1 protocol.
Configuration of the operating parameters is done quickly and easily by the EQ32 windows based
software shipped with the unit or available on the Equustek
Website.
Currently there are two standard DLPCIe products available to allow access to A-B’s DH-485 and DH+
network. Contact Equustek Solutions to see if the DLPCIe is the correct device for your communication
needs.
The
DLPCIe-DF1
is a two port device that allows your DF1 driver to communicate with ones on an
Allen Bradley DH-485 or DH+ network. The DF1 model is a direct replacement for the 1770-KF3 for
DH-485 and 1770-KF2 for DH+ and allows your PCs or Laptops access to any node on the correspond-
ing Allen Bradley network.
2.0 Hardware Specifications
