Product Overview
Description
The AIC+ advanced interface converter provides a communication
link between various networked devices. The AIC+ interface converter
is compatible with a variety of SLC and MicroLogix controllers and
peripherals.
Communication Port and Switch Locations
MicroLogix 1000, 1200, and 1500 controllers provide power to the
AIC+ interface converter via the RS-232 8-pin mini-DIN port’s cable.
However, if a MicroLogix controller is not connected to this port, a
24V dc power supply connected to the converter’s external power
terminals is required. The dc power-source selector switch needs to
be set for your particular configuration.
See Network Diagrams starting on page 21 for more details on how to
wire and configure the AIC+ interface converter.
