RTA offers a variety of
ALLEN-BRADLEY LEGACY
communication solutions
The DF1 protocol, used by Allen-Bradley for so many years, is no longer supported by A-B. In fact, A-B no longer makes PLCs with serial ports. So, how are you going to connect an RS-232 cable from your computer to a decades-old PLC?
With Real Time Automation’s DF1 legacy gateways, that’s how!
Products That Keep Your Factory Floors Connected
RTA, the foremost authority on industrial communications, has a wide range of gateways that support DF1 communication, so users get a simple, easy-to-use connectivity solution to integrate their DF1 devices into other industrial protocol networks. And like all RTA products, our DF1 legacy gateways come with a 30-day, money back guarantee and a 5-year warranty. They’re also made in America, in stock and ready to ship the same day you order (before 2:00 pm Central). And if you need to replace your Allen-Bradley 1761-NET-AIC or 1761-NET-ENI, we have solutions for that, too.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I tried for several months to find someone who knew the older Allen-Bradley RB modules…. After almost a year of searching for help, RTA fixed our problem in a few short weeks.
The 435NBA is an excellent serial to EtherNet interface to an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC. Great web interface makes it easy. We will be using more of these in the future.
All of us here are very big fans of RTA. It’s fantastic that we can count on a great product that works and comes with the best support.
I have been using RTA modules for the last four years and I have been extremely happy with their products and support. I really feel that this is one of the best gateway devices in the industrial realm.
