Allen-Bradley 1756-ENBT Ethernet/IP Bridge Module

The Allen-Bradley 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP Bridge Module is a ControlLogix-compatible copper Ethernet/IP bridge that enables data transfer and device bridging between a local ControlLogix chassis and remote EtherNet/IP devices or I/O networks, consolidating communication paths in complex automation architectures. It features a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (RJ-45) and supports up to 64 TCP connections and up to 128 CIP connections, supporting a mix of explicit and implicit messaging to accommodate controller-to-I/O traffic, data exchanges, and remote device access with predictable timing. Designed for integration into an 1756 I/O chassis, the ENBT serves as a dedicated bridge within the EtherNet/IP ecosystem, making it well suited for machine automation, process control, and distributed I/O configurations where reliable Ethernet connectivity and scalable network topology are essential.
