Connecting to Networks via RS-232/RS-485 Interface Appendix E
Example DH-485 Connections
The following network diagrams provide examples of how to connect
MicroLogix controllers to the DH-485 network. You can connect a MicroLogix
1400 controller to your DH-485 network directly without using a RS-232 to
RS-485 converter and optical isolator, such as the Advanced Interface Converter
(AIC+), catalog number 1761-NET-AIC, as shown in the illustrations below,
because Channel 0 has isolation and RS-485 built-in.
However, you may need to use an AIC+ to connect Channel 2 of the MicroLogix
1400 controller to a DH-485 network. For more information on the AIC+, see
the
Advanced Interface Converter and DeviceNet Interface Installation

TIP
Use a 1763-NC01 Series A or later cable to connect
a MicroLogix 1400 controller to a DH-485 network.
