Allen Bradley 1784-U2DN

As a professional supplier, our Hanyite Automation Technology recommends the Allen Bradley 1784-U2DN to you. To put it simply, it is a "translator". Think about it, the computers you are using now all have USB ports, right? But those robust PLCs in the factory (such as SLC 500), they can only speak a kind of old "dialect" called "DH-485". You two don't understand each other's languages, so you can't chat. Therefore, when you decide to buy this crucial tool, make sure it is an original and brand-new one. Only in this way can you ensure that the translation is fast and accurate. Just plug it into the computer's USB port, and it will help you translate the "Mandarin" of the computer into the "dialect" that the PLC can understand, allowing you to have a smooth "conversation" and work together.

Product Founction

1.The Allen Bradley 1784-U2DN’s greatest advantage is that it resolves the problem of communication between new and old devices. With it, your new laptop with only a USB port can easily control the old powerhouses in the factory.

2. Previously, it took a whole day to find an old computer with a serial port. Now, just by plugging it in, it can be used immediately, and the maintenance efficiency has greatly improved.

3. USB interface, plug and play, no need to restart the computer, very convenient, in line with our current usage habits.

Instructions for Use

1.Connect the cable (Plug the Allen Bradley 1784-U2DN connector into the computer and connect the other end to the DH-485 network line on the PLC side.)

2.Install the software (Install a software called RSLinx on the computer. It recognizes this "translator".)

3. Start chatting (Open the programming software and through RSLinx, you can "talk" to the PLC. You can view whatever you want and make any changes you desire.)

FAQ

Q1. Do I need to buy an adapter for it?

A: No! It directly uses the power from the computer USB port. Just plug it in and it'll work. It's very convenient.

Q2. Is the installation very troublesome? Do I need to be an expert to do it?

A: Not at all. Just plug in two wires for the hardware, install RSLinx for the software, and click "Next". Follow the instructions and it'll be done in a few minutes. It's much simpler than installing a game.

Q3. Can I connect it to a new PLC like ControlLogix?

A: No! It only recognizes the "DH-485 dialect" of the old buddies (SLC 500, MicroLogix). ControlLogix speaks "Ethernet language", so you need to find another "translator".

Q4. After plugging it in, why isn't it responding? Does the computer not recognize it?

A: Check if the RSLinx software is installed. Then try a different USB port. Finally, check in the "Device Manager" of the computer to see if it's crying (with a yellow exclamation mark). If so, it means the driver is not installed properly.
