DATASHEET
Ethernet over Belden® 9463 Blue Hose®
Industrial Media Converters
IMC-BHx-AC
ProSoft Technology’s IMC-BHx-AC Industrial Media Converters allow
users to simultaneously run EtherNet/IP™ and A-B Remote I/O data
on existing Belden 9463 Blue Hose media.
Once Industrial Media Converters have been added to the existing
system, users will be able to deploy a phased upgrade of their legacy
control system. A Logix system can be deployed on top of the existing
Remote I/O infrastructure allowing users to upgrade their legacy I/O,
drives, HMIs and other end devices. Upgrading of your control system
can now be done during scheduled downtime, saving time and
money.
