Is the 1761-NET-AIC the proper interface to use if I am doing an RS-485 Modbus network with my ML1500's? Or do I need the AIC+? Thanks in advance.

The full part number for the "AIC+" is 1761-NET-AIC.

Yes, this is the correct interface for connecting RS485 Modbus with any A-B controller except the MicroLogix 1100, which has an internal isolated RS485 port and uses a simpler "breakout box" cable called the 1763-NC01.

I've never used the 1761-Net-AIC for Modbus is the Modbus AIC any different from the DH-485 AIC?
