Allen-Bradley 1794-AENTR Flex I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter

The Allen-Bradley 1794-AENTR FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter enables EtherNet/IP communication for FLEX I/O modules within distributed automation systems, featuring two RJ45 Ethernet ports and Device Level Ring (DLR) for fault-tolerant data exchange between remote I/O and the PLC. As part of the FLEX I/O family, it supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and network topologies including DLR, Linear, and Star, mounting on a FLEX I/O Terminal Base Unit with a backplane current draw of 400 mA at 5 V DC. It is commonly installed in distributed control panels, manufacturing production lines, packaging machinery, material handling setups, water and wastewater facilities, and other process control environments where remote FLEX I/O modules must reliably communicate with controllers. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 °F) and it provides status and network LED indicators for straightforward health monitoring.
