Connect Serial Barcode Scanners, Printers and Scales to DH+-Based Allen-Bradley PLCs
Connect any ASCII-based serial device to your legacy PLCs like the PLC5 or SLC. It’s the perfect tool to keep those old legacy PLCs and ASCII serial devices from the scrap pile by extending their useful life..
How Do I Use the 460ADHM-D2E in My Application?
Incoming and outgoing ASCII data is parsed into data segments and given a data type. The string of ASCII data in up to 50 segments by delimiter or offset. Those values are them mapped to mating file locations in the DH+ devices like N7:200 or F9:1. It really is that simple when you connect ASCII to DH+ Gateway.
What Is ASCII and What It Can Do for You?
Discover whether ASCII aligns with your specific needs. Check out our ASCII tech page — 128 specified characters categorize into seven-bit integers, defining a standard encoding for letter, number, and symbol characters, known as ASCII.

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.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
