AB CLX ENet/IP 100M DLR 1756-EN2TR

The AB 1756-EN2TR is a part of the ControlLogix Communication Module series. It is an Ethernet/IP (Ethernet Industrial Protocol) dual port 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-EN2TR also meets 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-EN2TR Module has 10 - 100 Mbps Ethernet/IP communication rates and uses dual copper. 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 5.1V DC. It has a maximum power dissipation of 5.1 W and thermal dissipation of 17.4 BTU/hr. 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 IP addresses, Subnet masks, Gateway, etc. must be defined.

The 1756-EN2TR 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. The 1756-EN2TR does not require any scheduling or routing table to store information. Other features include explicit protected mode, Electronic keying, Device Level Ring Network, and Parallel Redundancy Protocol Network support.
