| “The 435NBA is an excellent serial to EtherNet interface to an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC. We had our barcode scanner up and running within a day with your tech support. Great web interface makes it easy. We will be using more of these in the future.” |

You have just found the easiest way to move ASCII serial data into a MicroLogix, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, and SLC5/05 Allen Bradley PLC over EtherNet IP. Sure everyone offers ASCII to EtherNet IP gateways, but nobody offers one quite like this. We are not offering just some off the shelf gateway. This is an ASCII to PLC gateway. Not only do our Gateways convert ASCII serial data to EtherNet IP, they convert the data and write it directly into your Allen Bradley PLC. It’s so simple we guarantee it. If you don’t agree this is the easiest and quickest way to move ASCII data into a PLC, we will buy the unit back.
Even though Ethernet is the standard there is still an awful lot of ASCII data out there. There are a ton of perfectly good scales, barcode readers, RF ID devices and a multitude of other units that generate an ASCII string. This is equipment that you've used for a long time. You know how to set it up, how to make it work and that it's reliable for you. Plus, you can probably get it a really good price since it doesn't have all the fancy features of the new models.
What, exactly, makes our Gateways the best around? First, our gateways feature simultaneous dual port functionality. This allows you to connect two ASCII data devices to a PLC with just one gateway. This may seem like a hassle to program, but it is surprisingly simple. In fact, there is No Ladder Logic to program at all.
We take any data that is transmitted into our barcode to plc gateway and instantly send it directly to a tag or register in your PLC. The same principle is used when transmitting data from the PLC to the ASCII device. As soon as we see ASCII data or data from the PLC in the register of the ASCII to PLC Gateway we send it on its way. What could be simpler?

| Now instead of sending data to a numeric tag or N7 file in your Programmable Controller you can send the data to a string tag or S10 file. And of course it works both ways, you can send data out of your Programmable Controller using the string tag or S10 file. |

| “As excited as I was to stumble across your website, multiply that by 10 once I received the gateway and found out how easily it integrated into the plant floor.
Expect more orders soon.

By far the easiest ascii to serial gateway I have ever used. The built-in handshaking was
very simple and effective."

“I have used eight of your units now and all were successful.
It saved me writing that Voodoo logic that AB has to use to make the port 0 stuff work.
In addition I didn't need to put together a proprietary network to connect seven scanners to a
single processor. I am pleased with the performance and ease of use.”
