The 5094-AENTR is an EtherNet/IP Adapter module designed to be used with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix platform. It provides connectivity to EtherNet/IP networks, allowing the PLC to communicate with other devices, such as I/O modules, HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces), and other devices on the network. The "AENTR" in the model name stands for "Adapter, EtherNet/IP, Thin."

The primary purpose of the 5094-AENTR module is to enable the exchange of data between the PLC and other devices in a control system. It supports a range of communication protocols, allowing for seamless integration with different types of equipment. The module typically offers multiple Ethernet ports for increased flexibility and provides high-speed communication capabilities.
