Hello Friends

I need to share some bits and integers between a SLC 5/03 and a Micrologix 1100.
But, 1761-NET-AIC has been discontinued.
Do you know another option to communicate this PLCs?


Thanks in advance

The RA Knowledgebase (Article 1011086, Access Level = Everyone) suggests a specific model of RS-232/RS-485 converter that's available from Advantech, the 485DRCI.


Note: it looks like Advantech has bought up B&B Electronics, a longtime favorite vendor of serial isolation and conversion equipment.

MicroLogix 1100 has RS485 built in, you don't need an AIC+ to convert the electrical protocol.
