ETHERNET 1756-EN2T/C ROCKWELL ALLEN BRADLEY PLC CONTROLLOGIX IP BRIDGE MODULE 10/100 FE

1756-EN2T/C Model ControlLogix ControlLogix EtherNet/IP Bridge Module 10/100 FE Allen Bradley PLC

Product Details:

The Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2T is a part of the ControlLogix Communication Module series.

It is an EtherNet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) interface communication module. It supports general messaging,

real-time I/O messaging, and information exchange for applications like Real-Time Control, Time Synchronization, and Motion.

The 1756-EN2T also has the CIP safety standard by allowing simultaneous transfer of safety and control data and diagnostics information.

It uses advanced communication chips and physical media.

The 1756-EN2T supports 10 to 100 Mbps EtherNet/IP communication rates and uses Twisted pair copper media.

It supports 256 Logix and 128 TCP/IP communication connections. It can support a maximum of 8 axes for integrated motion on the Ethernet/IP

Network and draws 1 A current at 5.1 Volts DC. It has a maximum power dissipation of 5.1 Watts and thermal dissipation of 17.4 BTU/hour.

It can be installed in any slot in the ControlLogix Chassis. For wiring, it uses unshielded RJ45, category 5, twisted-pair cable connectors to

interface with the controller. To operate an EtherNet/IP network, parameters such as an IP address, Subnet masks, Gateway, etc. must be

defined. The 1756-EN2T bridge has various functions like providing support for messaging, distributed I/O, and tags. It encapsulates messages

within standard TCP/IP protocol. ControlNet and DeviceNet network protocols allow it to share a common application layer. It does not require any

scheduling or routing table to store information. Other features include a protected mode, an electronic keying, a device level ring network, and a

parallel redundancy protocol network support.
