About ANC-100e The ANC-100e allows you to connect a computer on an Ethernet network to a DH+ network and communicate with various DH+ enabled devices such as Allen Bradley’s PLC5, SLC5/04, SLC5/05, ControlLogix series and other devices which might support Allen Bradley DH+ network connectivity. ANC-100e is designed to work utilizing the Ethernet/IP network driver available in most industrial communication software suites, such as Allen Bradley RSLinx Classic/Gateway/Enterprise and alike. And its auto-configuration features provide a quick and easy connection, as cable polarity, node number and baud rate can be auto-detected and auto-configured. For more information on properly configuring your software suite of choice to work with ANC-100e, please see the corresponding chapter of this manual. AUTOMATION NETWORKS ANC-100E. DH+ TO ETHERNET
The ANC-100e is a pocket-sized, high performance, Industrial Rated Ethernet DH+Using ANC-100e Power and protection Device requires 9…24 V DC power supply and consumes, depends of the voltage from 94mA at 9V to 35mA at 24V. Device has a diode protection against wrong power wiring polarity. All device inputs (power, DH+, Ethernet) are TVS protected from spikes and transients. Connect the power supply + and – wires to the appropriate connection points on the power connector supplied with the device.
Please reference the figure on the left for proper wiring. System grounding in most cases is not necessary but may be useful for protection against high power spikes to USB Converter and data highway to ethernet converter, USB to DH+. Features include: Ease of Configuration via Web Interface and DH+ Auto Polarity Detection and DH+ Auto Baud Rate Detection.Connections To connect ANC-100e device to your existing DH+ network or directly to another DH+ device, please use one of the connectors included with the product. 1. Connect the DH+ cable to the ANC-100e left most and right most terminals of the Phoenix 3 pin connector leaving the middle pin not connected. The polarity of blue and clear cables does not matter 2. Connect ANC-100e to the Ethernet network or a free Ethernet port on the computer or a free Ethernet port on a network hub/switch 3. The “Ethernet” LED light should blink intermittently for a moment 4. The “DH+” light will blink every 3 seconds indicating that the device is connected and associated to a DH+ network Due to ANC-100e unique DH+ Polarity Detection feature, the way the individual conductors (1/2) are connected does not matter, since upon startup, ANC-100e will AutoDetect and configure itself to use the correct polarity for communication regardless of the DH+ cable polarity. LED Diagnostics ANC-100e is equipped with three LEDs used for visualstatus and diagnostic display. LED labeled “Ethernet” indicates the data exchange between the ANC-100e and the user PC or any device on the Ethernet network. When the device sends/receives a packet to/from the PC/Ethernet Network, this LED blinks indicating packet exchange. LED labeled “Diag” indicated the current status of the ANC-100e device on the DH+ network: • “LED Solid Red” indicates that the device is not currently associated on a DH+ network. •
“LED Solid Green” indicates that the device is associated on the DH+ network Contact us to discuss your application. All ANC products come with a 30 day trial, no restocking, lifetime warranty.LED labeled “DH+” indicates the current status of the DH+ network: • “LED Off” indicates that there is no application level traffic coming into or out of the device. • “LED blinks without any particular pattern of Green and Yellow” indicates that the device is associated with the DH+ network and there is ongoing communication taking place with other nodes on the network. Packet transmission causes Yellow LED to blink, packet reception is indicated by a Green blink. Accessing ANC-100e User Interface IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, check that your PC’s Network adapter is configured to match ANC100e IP settings. Also make sure the unit is connected to your computer or Ethernet network. In case the previously configured IP settings were forgotten or lost and connection to the device cannot be established anymore, please perform the factory reset described in chapter “Reset to Default Factory Settings” of this manual. RSLINX/LOGIX PLC Programming. The ANC-100e communicates with all SCADA, HMI, PLC programming packages with direct Ethernet/IP access to the DH+ network and stations.
