| GracePortTM R Series Interfaces—Convenience for Programming Allen-Bradley PanelView |
[Davenport, IA: May 1, 2003] – Designed to offer convenient "through-the-door" programming interface for Allen-Bradley PanelView and Allen-Bradley PLC’s (with serial ports) systems. In many of these applications, the serial port has a dual role: communication and programming. Programming requires the user to open the panel door, unplug the RUN cable, then plug in the programming cable. The GracePortä DSX R-Series Crossover Switch mounts on the outside of the enclosure, thereby allowing the user to program either the PLC or the PanelView from a single port. When programming is completed, the user returns the interface to "RUN" mode. The DSX uses no electronics and requires no software. This product is available in UL/CSA approved NEMA 12/4, 4X, 1 or Nema 4X stainless steel housings (type 304 and 316 available) The R-Series DSX is designed for use with PanelView 300-1400 and 300 Micro, Most Allen-Bradley serial PLC's such as: SLC 5/03, 5/04, 5/05 (Channel 0); ControlLogix (Channel 0); MicroLogix 1000, 1200, 1500LSP (8MDIN Channel); MicroLogix 1500LRP (Channel 0); CompactLogix (Channel 0); FlexLogix (Channel 0) These products are sold as complete kits which includes: Qty (2) Interface Cables (PLC to DSX, & PanelView to DSX), Programming Cable, Communications Key, GracePort DSX Assembly with 120 VAC Outlet and Knurled screw closure. Grace Engineered Products, the manufacturer of GracePort™ Convenience Interfaces, brings connections from the inside to the outside of control panels. Grace provides over 5000 different combinations of cables, connectors, and outlets in NEMA 1/12/4/4X, stainless steel, and Nema 7/9 housings. All ports are clearly marked as to their function. Orders are processed on a one-piece minimum with a typical 3-5 day delivery. http://www.grace-eng.com |
