Connect up to 32 Modbus TCP Server Devices to DH+ Serial PLC5, SLC or MicroLogix™ PLC

You can now connect DH+ devices to a Modbus TCP/IP Server. Control a network of 32 Modbus TCP servers from a legacy Allen-Bradley serial PLC. It’s the perfect tool to save legacy PLCs from the scrap pile and control Modbus TCP devices directly from the serial port of PLC5s, SLCs and MicroLogix™.

How Do I Use the 460MCDHM-D2E in My Application?

For most applications, the mapping is very straightforward. Modbus register and coil data is mapped to files in the PLCs data tables. For example, you can map N7:200 to Modbus register 40200 in Modbus server 10. It really is that simple.

What Is A Modbus TCP/IP Client and What It Can Do for You?

Discover whether connecting DH+ devices to a Modbus TCP/IP Client aligns with your specific needs.

What our Customers are Saying

“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”

Eric P. / Kendall Electric

“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
