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.
Network Adapter Configuration
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, make sure that the unit is connected to your Ethernet network or a free Ethernet port on your computer.
If you have changed the IP address of the ANC-100e device, please use that address for the following procedure.
The default IP settings programmed into the device at the factory are:
IP Address: 192.168.0.230
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
It is required to configure your PC’s network adapter to use a static IP address the first time the device is used, in order to access the ANC-100e web configuration interface.
If you happen to be using the same network parameters that match the default configuration of the device and the default device IP address is not used on your network by any other IP enabled device, please skip this step.
