INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the installation, operation, and diagnostics of the Aparian DH485 Router Series B. The DH485 Router/B provides intelligent data routing between EtherNet/IP and DH485 which can help
simplify the migration from MicroLogix and SLC systems to ControlLogix or CompactLogix platforms, where a DH485 interface is required. The DH485 Router/B can also be used to connect newer PanelView Plus
and PanelView 800 devices to a range of Rockwell Automation controllers. This is especially useful where newer PanelView Plus devices (supporting only Ethernet) are required to connect to controllers (new
and old) via DH485.
REQUIRED SOFTWARE
The DH485 Router/B requires Aparian Slate software to setup and configure. The software installation can be found at www.aparian.com/software/slate.
