Allen-Bradley 1747-AENTR SLC 500 Ethernet/IP Adapter Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1747-AENTR acts as a high-performance communication interface that enables SLC 500 I/O chassis to operate as remote nodes on an EtherNet/IP network. By installing this adapter, users can migrate or expand their legacy SLC systems to modern integrated architectures without replacing existing I/O hardware. It facilitates seamless data exchange between the SLC backplane and Logix-based controllers, providing a cost-effective bridge for industrial automation upgrades.

Operational Features

The 1747-AENTR is designed for high-speed industrial networking, supporting 10/100 Mbps communication rates. Its dual-port design allows for Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies, ensuring network resiliency and cable redundancy in critical applications. As a Slot 0 resident, it replaces the traditional CPU to manage all I/O data traffic across the backplane. This adapter is an essential component for distributed I/O configurations where real-time control and diagnostic monitoring are required over a standard Ethernet infrastructure.
