Excellent PLC
Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1761-NET-AIC is an Advanced Interface Converter designed to provide reliable communication between devices using different protocols in industrial automation environments. It converts RS-232 signals to RS-485 while providing electrical isolation for enhanced protection of connected equipment. Supporting DH-485 and DF1 protocols, this converter ensures seamless integration of MicroLogix and other Allen-Bradley controllers into networked systems.
Powered by 24 VDC with a maximum current draw of 120 mA, the 1761-NET-AIC is compact, lightweight, and ideal for panel-mounted or field applications where robust protocol conversion and signal isolation are required.
