Welcome to DataLink Technologies Group, Inc!
DataLink Technologies Group, Inc. provides (AB) Allen Bradley PLC users with Ethernet and serial (DF1, ASCII, Modbus) gateways to AB Data Highway Plus (DH+), DH-485 & Remote I/O.
At DataLink, we design and implement solutions for your application. We have a family of “DL” standardized, off the shelf, Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet IP, DH+, DH-485 and Remote I/0 products.
Our engineers also like to customize such networks for your application. As Ethernet is growing in popularity, we can now customize your serial DF1, ASCII, Modbus, and custom protocols to AB Ethernet, Ethernet/IP; as well as the legacy DH+, DH-485, Remote I/O applications.

All GW1000 products
Traditional applications include:
DF1, ASCII & Modbus interfaces to AB's Data Highway Plus (DH+) & DH485. DataLink’s more cost efficient and reliable solutions include replacements to 1770-KF2, 1770-KF3,1784-KTX, 1784-PKTX, 1784-PCMK and SST 5136-SD products. Newer applications include: Ethernet TCP/IP, AB Ethernet/IP, ControlLogix , Compactlogix, Micrologix, & SLC 5/05 interfaces to legacy AB Data Highway Plus (DH+), DH-485 and Remote I/O. HMI & SCADA Applications: RSLinx, RSLogix, Wonderware, Siemens Win CC, Modicon Concept, Citect, Kepware, Intellution FIX can now interface between Ethernet TCP IP, ModTCP, & AB Ethernet IP to Legacy AB DH+, DH485 and RIO.
DataLink Solutions for your Application:
Q: I just bought a new PC and discovered that it has a smaller PCI slot that the 1784-PKTx card doesn't support. Can you help me out?
A: DataLink can provide an external, palm-sized, USB DL3500 controller to solve that problem. Our products are: DL3500-DH+/DF1 and DL3500-DH-485/DF1.
Q: We are looking for a system to take some downtime information off of several Micrologix PLCs and link them to a SLC 5/04 PLC .
A: We have two possible solution for this application:
DL3500-DH+/DF1:
This solution will enable the Micrologix via Channel 0 (DF1) to become a node on DH+.
DL3500-DH+/IAP:
This solution will allow the Micrologix (AB Ethernet) to access the nodes on DH+.
Q: I would like to interface my Modbus TCP/IP Network to AB’s Data Highway Plus DH+ so I could extend the life of my PLC’s without Ethernet Interfaces? Do you have a product that will do this?
A: Yes, our DL4500-MEDH+ and DL4500-MEDH-485 allows applications such as RSLogix, RSLinx, and RSView to access devices on a DH+ network from an Ethernet/IP LAN, enabling users to run MMI applications or program and monitor PLCs on a DH+ network from an Ethernet LAN station. Other MMI’s tested include Wonderware, Kepware, and Intellution
Q: Why would I go with your DL3500-DH+/IAP (Ethernet/IP gateway to DH+) instead of upgrading all my AB Equipment (ie. PLC5s) to Ethernet/IP?
A: Cost. You only need one DL3500-DH+/IAP per DH+. You don't have to upgrade each PLC5 processor on DH+ to a PLC5E . This can save significant money if you have a big DH+ Network. This functionality allows RSLinx/RSLogix on Ethernet/IP have access to all the nodes on your DH+.
More About the IAP:
DataLink now offers the DL3500-DH+/IAP package that significantly reduces your AB Ethernet upgrading costs as you don't need to replace each DH+ PLC processor/device.
Simply make the DL3500-DH+/IAP a node on DH+ and then interface to your AB Ethernet. AB PLC users can interface bi-directionally between Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) / DH-485 and AB Ethernet (CIP & 2222 protocols).
AB Ethernet (Master) to DH+ is the optimal communication direction. This allows multiple AB Ethernet (CIP and 2222) devices to communicate to multiple DH+ nodes using the DataLink DL3500-DH+/IAP.
Q: How do I interface a legacy PLC-5 / SLC 5/04 via DH+ to AB’s Ethernet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP?
A: Our DL4500-EDH+ will allow RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via Ethernet TCP/IP.
A: Our DL3500-DH+/IAP will allow RSlinx & RSLogix to access DH+ via AB’s Ethernet/IP.
Product Testimonal:
The DL3000-KFX is unbelievable....it keeps on running in the most disgusting, hazardous environment you could ever imagine. We didn't even know what the controller was because of all the messy residue covering the box....it just keeps on working. J.S. , Gas Material Corporation.
