Map Your Legacy PLC Data Tables into a BACnet/IP Client
Transform your legacy Allen-Bradley serial PLC into a seamlessly connected DH+ device, bridging the gap to a BACnet/IP Client. Integrate your BACnet/IP Client to DH+ device, enabling any of your serial PLCs such as the PLC5 or SLC to provide data to a BACnet/IP client. DH+ serves as the perfect tool for preserving those legacy PLCs, preventing them from being sent to the scrap pile and extending their operational lifespan.
How Do I Use the 460BSDHM-D2E in My Application?
For most applications, the mapping is very straightforward. PLC data table values like N7:200 and F9:1 are mapped directly into analog and binary objects in BACnet. The data transfer is bidirectional. No message instructions and no ladder to alter in many cases.

What our Customers are Saying
“I challenged a customer to get it working by the time I got back from his break room with a Coke and he indeed had it working when I got back. He then said, "It’s worth twice the price!"”
Eric P. / Kendall Electric
“Everything seems to be working as we imagined. Thanks for the great response time. I did not see any way to save the configuration other than screen shots, but the configuration did not get lost in the update. Thanks again, and you were a pleasure to work with.”
Kevin L. / Extol, Inc.
