1.0 GW1000 General Operation & Applications
The GW1000 continues the functionality of the current DL2000/DL3000/DL3500
product line. In addition to having connectivity to Allen-Bradley’s DH+, and the
RS232/422/485/USB capabilities of the DL3500, the GW1000 offers a 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet connection. The ability to power the GW1000 from the USB communication
link is also present, removing the sometimes cumbersome procedure of locating a DC
power supply when using laptops or PC’s in the field.
The GW1000 has two communication ports. Channel A is designed to connect to your
industrial Allen-Bradley DH+ network. Channel B is used to connect to your serial or
USB device, the protocol depends on which model of the GW1000 you have ordered.
Channel B has the capabilities of RS232C, RS422, RS485 and USB 2.0.
Configuration of the operating parameters is done quickly and easily via the Ethernet
interface. Operational Firmware is also easily upgraded over the Ethernet interface.
This allows for quick changes if you need to change your protocol.
Currently there are three standard GW1000 products available to allow access to Allen-
Bradley’s DH+ network. Many other custom ASCII and serial protocols have been
implemented to DH+ on the GW1000 platform.
Contact DataLink Technologies to see if the GW1000 is the correct device for your
communication needs.
