Preface Read this preface to familiarize yourself with the rest of the manual. This preface covers the following topics. • Who should use this manual • Purpose of this manual • Conventions used in this manual Who Should Use This Manual Use this manual if you are responsible for designing, installing, programming, or troubleshooting control systems that use Allen-Bradley Small Logic controllers.
4 Preface Additional Resources The following documents contain additional information regarding Rockwell Automation products.
Chapter 1 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.
6 Product Overview The communication-rate selector switch is used to match the communication rate filter of the AIC+ interface converter to the network communication rate. This switch does not change the network communication rate and is normally left in the AUTO position. In high noise environments, the communication-rate selector switch should be taken out of the AUTO mode and set to the same communication rate as the network.
Product Overview 7 Node Address Identification There is no node address associated with the network port. The node address is configured in the device connected with this port. The node address is configured in the device connected with this port. Use this area to mark the node address of each connection.

Chapter 2 Installation and Wiring Compliance to European Union Directives If this product has the CE mark it is approved for installation within the European Union and EEA regions. It has been designed and tested to meet the following directives. EMC Directive This product is tested to meet Council Directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and the following standards, in whole or in part, documented in a technical construction file.
10 Installation and Wiring Safety Considerations This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, or nonhazardous locations only. ATTENTION Explosion Hazard — Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2. Do not replace components or disconnect equipment unless power is switched off and the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Installation and Wiring Mount the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter 11 The AIC+ interface converter can be mounted in the vertical or horizontal position. There are no spacing requirements except as necessary for DIN-rail latch movement. Mount to a DIN Rail Follow these steps to install your interface converter. 1. Mount your DIN rail. 2. Snap the DIN-rail latch into the closed position. 3. Hook the top slot over the DIN rail. Side View DIN Rail Latch 4.
12 Installation and Wiring Side View DIN Rail Mount to a Panel Follow these instructions to mount your AIC+ interface converter to a panel. 1. Remove the mounting template from this document. 2. Secure the template to the mounting surface. 3. Drill holes through the template. 4. Remove the mounting template. 5. Mount the AIC+ interface converter.
Installation and Wiring Wire the AIC+ Advanced Interface Converter 13 This section provides power supply wiring and network port wiring information. Wire the Power Supply ATTENTION EXPLOSION HAZARD — An external power supply must be used in Class I, Division 2 applications and the dc power-source selector switch must be in the EXTERNAL position before connecting the power supply to the AIC+ interface converter.
14 Installation and Wiring Wire to the Network Ports Use these instructions for wiring Belden cable. Attach the RS-485 Connector to the Communication Cable IMPORTANT A daisy-chained network is recommended. Other chained networks are not recommended.
