ANC-100e Ethernet to Data Highway Plus Adapter转换器

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.

1. Open Window’s Control Panel

2. Click on “Network and Internet”

3. Click on “Network and Sharing Center”

4. Click on “Change adapter settings”

5. Right click on the corresponding network adapter

6. Click on “Properties”

7. From the list of items, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”

8. Click “Properties” button

9. Select the option “Use the following IP address”

10. Configure the adapter to use following settings:

IP address: 192.168.0.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1

11. “DNS server” settings blank

12. Click “OK” button

13. Click “OK” button to close “Local Area Connection” properties window

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.

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 visual status 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

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 ANC- 100e 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.

1. Open any web browser and enter the ANC-120e IP address in the address bar. Default IP address of the device is set to “192.168.0.230”

2. Press “Enter” key

3. Enter the username and password in the corresponding fields. By default, the username is set to “admin” and password to “password”

4. Click “OK” button.

5. If you entered the correct login credentials, you will be presented with the main configuration window.
