Overview Manuals Port Role Mapping Port Timing Multidrop Boundary Product Applications

Features:

  • Three-port conversion: two RS-232 connections and one RS-485/DH-485 path
  • Network isolation: documented separation among communication ports and power
  • Multidrop planning: official node, distance, timing, and handshaking boundaries
1761-NET-AIC links supported serial devices where isolation or conversion between RS-232 and RS-485/DH-485 is required.

Its success depends on complete protocol and cable-signal agreement, not merely matching connector shapes.

The field record should preserve port roles, node addresses, baud, handshaking, cable catalog, polarity, shield, termination, power, and ground.

  • DB-9 port: document device type, cable signals, and hardware-handshaking requirement.
  • Mini-DIN port: verify the connected controller port and the approved cable catalog.
  • RS-485 port: preserve network polarity, shield, node, and termination details.
  • Protocol mode: distinguish DF1 full-duplex, master-slave, DH-485, and user-mode ASCII duties.
  • Turnaround: match pre-send delay and communication rate to the official timing table.
  • Signal proof: test RTS, CTS, transmit, and receive behavior when the connected device requires handshaking.
  • Node count: keep each supported multidrop network within the documented maximum.
  • Cable length: include trunks, drops, shield, and termination in the 1219 m network review.
  • Power and ground: verify external 24 V DC, inrush, isolation, and chassis bonding before connection.
  • DF1 isolation: isolate qualified RS-232 devices in point-to-point or supported master-slave communication.
  • DH-485 networking: connect supported controllers and interfaces to a documented multidrop network.
  • Serial conversion: bridge compatible RS-232 and RS-485 paths with controlled timing and handshaking.
Description
1761-NET-AIC is the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter for supported MicroLogix, SLC, and related serial-network designs. It provides an isolated communication link among a 9-pin RS-232 port, an 8-pin mini-DIN RS-232 port, and the documented RS-485/DH-485 network connection.

Network conversion on 1761-NET-AIC is governed by protocol, handshaking, baud rate, node count, cable length, and turnaround timing. The converter can support DF1 full-duplex isolation, DF1 master-slave, DH-485, and qualified user-mode ASCII arrangements when the connected devices meet the official port conditions.

For a serial network, 1761-NET-AIC provides isolation and interface conversion without adding an Ethernet role. Its identity should remain tied to the AIC+ port arrangement so maintenance teams do not confuse the converter with the similarly named NET-ENI bridge.

Technical notes
When a 1761-NET-AIC link passes traffic in only one direction, treat handshaking and turnaround timing as the primary boundary. Match the selected protocol mode, verify the required RS-232 control signals, confirm RS-485 polarity and termination, and retest the actual device pair before changing controller timeout logic.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why can 1761-NET-AIC transmit data but receive no reply on a DF1 link?
Check the selected DF1 mode, cable pinout, RTS and CTS behavior, baud, parity, node, pre-send timing, RS-485 polarity, and device port configuration.
How should termination be planned for a 1761-NET-AIC DH-485 network?
Document the physical trunk ends, node positions, cable and shield path, then place approved termination only as required by the official network design rather than at every converter.
Can 1761-NET-AIC be replaced by 1761-NET-ENI without redesign?
No. AIC+ serves isolated RS-232 and RS-485/DH-485 communication, while NET-ENI bridges DF1 full-duplex to Ethernet; protocols, ports, cables, power, and topology differ.
What causes collisions or delayed replies on a 1761-NET-AIC multidrop link?
Review duplicate nodes, communication rate, master timing, auto-transmit delay, cable length, termination, shield grounding, and unapproved branches while monitoring network traffic.
How should external power for 1761-NET-AIC be verified?
Measure 20.4…28.8 V DC at the converter during startup, account for inrush and connected grounding, and confirm that chassis ground and the network shield follow the official diagram.
What should a buyer provide to avoid ordering the wrong cable set for 1761-NET-AIC?
Provide clear port and label photographs, device endpoints, protocol, required cable catalogs, node count, topology, condition, quantity, destination, and whether terminal or power accessories are included.
