Product Overview

The 1756-EN2T is a high-performance Ethernet communication module specifically designed for the ControlLogix platform. It supports the EtherNet/IP protocol, an industrial protocol developed based on standard Ethernet technology and widely used in industrial automation applications. The module connects to the Ethernet via a standard RJ45 port and supports communication rates of 10/100 Mbps.

Compared to earlier models, the 1756-EN2T module enhances performance, offering higher connection capacity and faster I/O packet rates, enabling it to better address the demands of modern complex automation systems.

Key Features

EtherNet/IP Communication: Acts as a bridge between the ControlLogix controller and the EtherNet/IP network, enabling high-speed, real-time communication between the controller and other devices on the network.

High Connection Capacity: Supports up to 256 Logix communication connections and 128 TCP/IP connections, capable of handling large-scale I/O and data exchange tasks.

Data Routing: The module has routing capabilities, enabling messages to be routed from the EtherNet/IP network to other modules on the ControlLogix rack backplane or from one network to another.

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting: Provides comprehensive diagnostic features and LED status indicators to help users quickly identify and resolve network connectivity and communication issues.

Security Features: To address industrial network security threats, the module supports security features such as encrypted communication and authentication to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.

Multiple Configuration Methods: Supports IP address setup via the module's top-mounted dip switches, BOOTP/DHCP server, or Rockwell software (such as RSLinx or Studio 5000), offering flexible configuration options.

Usage

The 1756-EN2T module is used as follows:

Hardware Installation: ｉｎｓｅｒｔ the module into any available slot in the ControlLogix rack.

Network connection: Connect the module to your industrial Ethernet using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable.

IP address configuration: This is a critical step in using the module. You can set the IP address using three primary methods:

Dip switches: Set a value between 1 and 254 on the dip switches at the top of the module, and the module will automatically assign an IP address (default network is 192.168.1.xxx).

BOOTP/DHCP: Use Rockwell's BOOTP/DHCP tool or a DHCP server to assign the IP address.

Studio 5000 Software: Use the Studio 5000 Logix Designer software via USB or network connection to configure the module's IP address and other network parameters.

System Integration: In Studio 5000 software, add the module to your project tree and configure its communication connections.

Operation and Monitoring: The LED indicators on the module display network status, module status, and communication status. You can perform online diagnostics and monitoring via the software.
