Appendix B – Detailed Confi guration of DigiOne IAP
Serial Gateway

For PLCs that support serial communications via DF1 protocol, there are various gateways that can be used to intercept serial
communications and translate to EIP. One such device is the DigiOne IAP

®

. The IAP has two serial ports and a single Ethernet

port. Port 2 on the IAP is a 9 pin d-sub connector that can be connected to the 9 pin d-sub connector on PLC CPUs like the
SLC 504

®

(and others). The IAP comes with a serial cable that easily connects the IAP to the SLC 504

®

. A standard Ethernet

patch cable can connect the IAP to an Ethernet network. This example will show how to confi gure an IAP bridge communication
between RSLinx

®

/RSLogix

®

and an MW100 with a SLC 504

®

.

Connect the IAP to the serial port on the front of the SLC 504

®

via the included serial cable. Connect an appropriate DC power

supply to the terminals of the IAP and power the IAP up. Connect an Ethernet patch cable to the IAP and attach it to a network.
The IAP comes with a CD that includes a setup utility. When the CD boots up, assuming auto-run is enabled, follow the instruc-
tions on the fi rst page then click next and the setup utility will scan the network for IAPs. For a new IAP it will not have an IP
address, but it should be easy to identify as the Product Name will show DigiOne IAP. Select the IAP and click Next.
