The Remote I/O to EIP Drives Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO is a specialized communication gateway module that enables seamless connectivity between modern Allen-Bradley ControlLogix/CompactLogix PLCs and legacy Data Highway Plus (DH+) or Remote I/O networks. This versatile device effectively bridges the gap between contemporary Ethernet/IP systems and older automation protocols, allowing for the integration of existing equipment without costly replacements.

Operating with a configurable baud rate from 57.6 to 230.4 kbaud, the Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO ensures reliable data exchange across different network architectures. The Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO in stock features both an RJ45 Ethernet port supporting 10/100 Mbps transmission and Phoenix connectors for network and power connections, accepting 24V DC power with a consumption of approximately 100 mA. Its compact design supports both desktop and DIN rail mounting for flexible installation options.

A significant advantage of the Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO Machine Control is its built-in web server, which enables remote configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics through a standard web browser. This functionality simplifies setup and maintenance while reducing potential configuration errors. The module also includes LED status indicators for immediate visual feedback on network connections and operational status.

The Prosoft AN-X2-AB-DHRIO provides an ideal solution for plant modernization projects, allowing operations to maintain legacy equipment while gradually transitioning to newer control systems. By implementing the AN-X2-AB-DHRIO Prosoft Remote I/O to EIP Drives, facilities can extend the lifecycle of existing assets, minimize downtime, and achieve a cost-effective migration path toward updated automation architectures.
