Allen-Bradley 1769-AENTR is a CompactLogix communication module. It allows connection to an Ethernet network via two (2) built-in Ethernet communication ports, is used as an embedded switch, and supports linear, star, and device-level loop (DLR) topologies. It supports transfer speeds of 0/100 Mbps and 128 logical communications.
The Allen-Bradley 1769-AENTR is a chassis based input/output module in the Bulletin 1769 Compact I/O family. This module can help users reduce I/O spare parts inventory. This I/O module is distributed by EtherNet/IP networks and allows CompactLogix users to use the 1769 I/O system again when upgrading to the next series of CompactLogix controllers without interfering with their previous 1769 I/O investment. Users with the 1769-AENTR can use the same input/output module to adjust on the only adaptable platform. The 1769-AENTR was designed to simplify operators' system architecture and help minimize migration costs. Other benefits of using this I/O module include controller-free system scaling, inventory reduction through a standardized I/O platform, and enterprise connectivity using a single network program emanating from EtherNet/IP networks.
The 1769-AENTR features dual Ethernet ports where users can connect a linear topology or DLR. It is a scalable control system that provides an effective solution for machine and equipment manufacturers with inconsistent engine performance. The 1769-AENTR also allows manufacturers to meet application requirements without utilizing multiple control platforms. When choosing the most suitable and cost-effective control system, users often consider factors such as scalability, sustainability, high performance, simplification, security, and a single network architecture, all of which can be found in the 1769-AENTR I/O module. The minimum communication port speed of the 1769-AENTR is about 10 Mbit/ s, while its maximum communication speed is up to 100 Mbit/ s. The ideal operating temperature of the module is between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius.
1769-AENTR Main features include dual Ethernet interfaces that support a variety of Ethernet topologies such as linings, stars, and device level loops (DLR). It is primarily used for simplified control architecture, I/O scalability, inventory reduction, migration, and easy connectivity to the enterprise level.
The 1769-AENTR is a single slot width module that supports up to 128 logical communications and 96 TCP/IP connections. It has a current consumption of 500 mA, isolation voltage of 50V (continuous), basic insulation type tested at 710V DC for 60 seconds, and weighs approximately 0.280 kg (0.61 lb). It measures 118 x 50 x 87 mm (4.65 x 1.97 x 3.43 inches).
When establishing a connection with 1769-AENTR, the recommended wire sizes are RJ45 connectors according to IEC 60603-7, and 2 or 4 pairs of minimum Class 5e cables according to TIA 568-B.1 or Class 5 cables according to ISO/IEC 24702. It is c-UL-us, CE, RCM, Ex, KC and EtherNet/IP certified.
It can be used to communicate with human machine interface (HMI) devices, especially the PanelView product family, supervisory control and Data acquisition (SCADA), and other controllers for messaging functions.
