Rockwell Automation recently introduced a new communication module, the 1756-EN2TR, a redundant EtherNet/IP adapter designed for ControlLogix 557x PLCS. Strong network connectivity and advanced redundancy ensure high reliability and data transmission stability of industrial automation systems.

The main features of the 1756-EN2TR module include:

It supports Ethernet /IP protocols and provides 10/100 Mbps data transmission rate to meet the needs of high-speed industrial networks.

Equipped with two RJ45 Ethernet ports, support redundant network configuration, improve the fault tolerance of the network.

Supports CIP safety standards to ensure simultaneous transmission of control data and safety data.

The compact module is designed to fit into any slot in the ControlLogix chassis for easy installation and maintenance.

The power consumption of the module is 5.1W, and the heat dissipation is 17.4 BTU/h, which has a good energy efficiency ratio.

In addition, the 1756-EN2TR module has the following technical specifications:

Supported protocols include TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP, but do not include DeviceNet or other bus systems.

The module does not provide optical interfaces, but supports redundancy configuration and does not provide IO link master function.

Current consumption is 1A@ 5.1V DC or 3mA@24V DC, suitable for a variety of power supply environments.

A wide range of operating temperatures, from 0°C to 60°C, suitable for a variety of industrial site environments.

The introduction of the 1756-EN2TR module further enriches Rockwell Automation’s product line in the field of industrial Ethernet, providing a more flexible and reliable communication solution for industrial control systems.
