The Allen-Bradley 1761-NET-AIC is an Advanced Interface Converter (AIC+) module designed to facilitate seamless communication in industrial automation systems. It serves as a crucial bridge, converting RS-232 signals to the DH-485 network protocol, and vice versa. This allows devices such as personal computers, HMIs, or other serial devices to connect to a network of Allen-Bradley MicroLogix or SLC 500 controllers. The module features built-in electrical isolation to protect connected equipment from ground loops and noise, ensuring reliable data transmission. Its compact and durable design makes it ideal for integrating diverse components into a cohesive and efficient control network.
