Allen-Bradley - -PIC - RS- to DH- Interface Converter

The Allen-Bradley -PIC is an interface converter designed to facilitate communication between devices with RS- ports and those utilizing the DH- protocol, commonly found in SLC series controllers. This converter enables seamless integration of personal computers and programming devices with Allen-Bradley PLCs that operate on the DH- network. 

Key Features:

• Protocol Conversion: Translates RS- signals to DH- protocol, allowing RS- devices to communicate with DH- networks. 

• Compatibility: Supports SLC /, SLC /, and SLC / processors, enabling programming and monitoring via compatible software. 

• Connectivity: Equipped with a -pin D-shell connector for RS- connections and a -pin Phoenix connector for DH- network interfacing. 

• Power Supply: Draws power directly from the connected RS- port, eliminating the need for an external power source.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: Compact design for easy integration into existing setups.

• Operating Temperature: °C to °C (°F to °F). 

• Storage Temperature: -°C to °C (-°F to °F). 

• Humidity: % to % without condensation. 

Important Considerations:

• Port Compatibility: The -PIC is compatible only with built-in COM and COM serial ports on personal computers. It does not function with USB-to-serial adapters, serial port extender boards, or PCMCIA-format serial port cards.  

• Operating System: Ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed for your operating system to facilitate proper communication.

• Alternative Solutions: For computers lacking built-in serial ports or using modern operating systems, the -UIC USB to DH- interface converter is recommended as an alternative to the -PIC.
