[?]: How made RS232 (DF1) to Ethernet converter

[boldive]

Does anyone have a link or documentation how to build a RS232-to-ethernet converter to connect AB SLC500/Micrologix thгue the TCP/IP network.
Let say, using RSLinx Ethernet driver get connection to SLC500 RS232 port.
I guess something on ATMega128 + ENC28J60 would be a good decision.
Thanks.

Есть у кого-то документация или ссылка на нее как сделать RS232-to-ethernet конвертер.
Есть много стареньких SLC500/03 контроллеров и бегать каждый раз к каждому индивидуально получается слишком долго.
А вот соединить их через ethernet и потом через RSLinx Ethernet Driver к ним коннектится намного бы упростило жизнь.
Парочка ATMega128 + ENC28J60 должна наверно хорошо работать. Готовые устройства стоят порядка 500долларов.
Мое начальство не поймет зачем платить по полтысячи баксов на PLC если все и так работает.
Спасибо.

We use something like this.
We send data over Ethernet, convert it to serial and send this to a printer for printing labels.
The idea seems to be the same. We use an Ethernet to Serial converter.
See the link below.

Peace.

And it costs ~$550. Too expensive. The idea to use minimum money and get maximum efficiency. I have seen in the web some kits for ~$125, but I am not sure they will support AB DF1 port.

Tou can use a Lantronix xdrim converter (www.lantronix.com), but this system is a hardware convert, not a protocol convert

1761-NET-ENI
use this module to solve your problem.

I think possible to use only this module,
because the most of convertors COM -> XXX make COM-port as virtual ,
but AB DF1 port in RSLinks needs COM-port as hardware...

We've done the same kind of thing, but with a 90-30 PLC and a Serial to Ethernet converter.

LS100 by Sena, they provide a software to create a new COM port, let's say COM10 on the machine you want to use to connect to the LS100. You can then configure the device to use RAW Serial Connection. Cost less than 100$ with the din-rail mounting kit, and works like a charm! You can even use secure connection if needed!

Edit : Forgot to mention that the COM port appear as hardware, like you need it.

[boldive]

Can you confirm that rslinx supports LS100? Main idea is, remotely (true the Ethernet) get connection to SLC500 RS232 port.

I'd say i guess yes.

It worked with a GE 90-30 with DB15 cable, able to program, upload, download and everything over ethernet.

It worked with a Eaton PA10 and a Eaton PV28 with the RS232 cable, able to program, upload, download and everything over ethernet

Even worked with an old dish network card programmer, was able to read and write to an old rom102

So i guess it should work with AB, and for the price, buy one and try it! If it doesn't works, you will still have a new toy to play with, and i'm sure you'll find an application to it

Hi,
I need to make a network betwen two PLC,AB slc5/04 and S7-300 via winCC 7, my problem is the AB5/04 don't have an ethernet port, so i need to the converter.
I think that the 1761-NET-ENI Ethernet Interface is the solution for me?is it? please help.
Icount to use ethernet IP protocol on the Wincc to communicate with SLC5/04.

[Seinfield]

Change the 5/04 for a 5/05.
Easy, jejeje.

Or get a 5/05 and make a passtrough with the 5/04.

Hello I¨m very interesed how conect by ethernet a labelprint with PC or PLC rockwell by ethernet.
If you have any information or manual, if you could send me a information?
Please
thanks for all
