The 1756-EN2T/D module is an Ethernet/IP communication module manufactured by Allen-Bradley. It is designed to provide Ethernet connectivity for ControlLogix controllers. The module allows the PLC to communicate with other devices over an Ethernet network, such as HMI (Human-Machine Interface) panels, remote I/O modules, and other PLCs.
Here are some key features of the 1756-EN2T/D module:
Ethernet/IP Communication: The module supports the Ethernet/IP protocol, which is an industrial networking standard used for real-time control and information-sharing applications.
Dual Ethernet Ports: The module has two Ethernet ports, allowing for network redundancy or the ability to connect to multiple networks simultaneously.
Data Transfer: It provides fast data transfer rates, enabling efficient communication between the PLC and other devices on the network.
Diagnostic and Status Information: The module provides diagnostic and status information, allowing users to monitor the health and performance of the network connection.
Configuration: The module can be easily configured using Rockwell Automation software tools, such as RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000.
