Products Description
PROSOFT AN-X2-AB-DHRIO EtherNet/IP to DH+ / Remote I/O Gateway Module in stock
PROSOFT AN-X2-AB-DHRIO is an industrial migration gateway developed by ProSoft Technology. It serves as a protocol bridge connecting EtherNet/IP modern control network and Allen‑Bradley legacy DH+ and Remote I/O networks for old PLC system gradual upgrade.

This gateway supports automatic network configuration and built-in web diagnostic server. It allows new Logix family controllers to communicate with PLC-5, SLC500, 1771 remote I/O without large-scale hardware replacement. It is widely used as spare replacement part for factory automation system renovation and retrofit projects.
