1756-DH485 Module Overview 1-7
Remote Messaging
The configuration of remote messaging is similar to data highway remote I/O
(DHRIO). It is achieved through routing table functions and module
configuration. The multi-hop functionality is available in RSLogix 5 and 500
(version 6.3 or later)
Remote Upload and Download
You can bridge EtherNet/IP and ControlNet networks to a DH-485 network
using the 1756-DH485 module
You can upload and download:
• all MicroLogix and SLC 500 controllers on DH-485 from NetLinx
network by using RSLinx Classic software.
• PanelView Standard terminals on DH-485 from NetLinx network by
using RSLinx Classic.
Logix controllers message via a NetLinx network through a ControlLogix
gateway to the DH-485 network to all MicroLogix and SLC 5/03 (and above)
controllers on DH-485 network. RSLinx Classic software on the DH-485
network can browse through the ControlLogix gateway to any device on a
NetLinx network.
IMPORTANT
Logix controllers on a NetLinx network will not be able to
initiate messages through the ControlLogix gateway to the
DH-485 network to fixed SLC 500, SLC 5/01, or SLC
5/02 controllers on a DH-485 network.
