Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen Bradley 1715-N2T serves as a critical mechanical component for the 1715 Redundant I/O system architecture. This "Tall" version slot filler populates unused positions within the redundant I/O baseplate to ensure system integrity. We provide this unit as 100% Brand New original factory stock. It acts as more than just a placeholder; it maintains the structural and environmental standards required for high-availability industrial control racks.

Engineering Advantages
-
Optimized Thermal Management: The 1715-N2T forces cooling air across active I/O modules by sealing off bypass paths. Leaving slots open disrupts the designed laminar airflow of the chassis, which leads to localized hotspots in energized 1715-IB16D or 1715-OB8DE modules.
-
Ingress and Contaminant Protection: This tall blanking module shields the backplane connectors from conductive dust, moisture, and metallic debris. By physically blocking the slot, it prevents accidental contact with the sensitive gold-plated pins of the 1715 baseplate.
-
EMI/RFI Shielding Integrity: The module helps maintain the electromagnetic profile of the I/O rack. Populating every slot—even those without active electronics—reduces the risk of interference in high-frequency environments.
-
Professional Aesthetics and Structural Support: The "Single Long Version" ensures a flush fit with adjacent "Tall" profile modules. This provides a unified front for the control cabinet and prevents mechanical stress on the baseplate guide rails during high-vibration operations.
FAQs
-
Why should I use the 1715-N2T instead of leaving the slot empty?
An empty slot allows cooling air to escape prematurely and exposes the backplane connectors to environmental damage. The 1715-N2T ensures your redundant I/O system meets its thermal and IP-rating specifications.
-
Is there any electrical connection within this module?
No. The 1715-N2T is a "Blank" module with no internal circuitry. It contains no pins that interface with the backplane logic, making it safe to install or remove while the system remains powered.
-
Does this fit standard 1756 ControlLogix racks?
No. This part specifically fits the 1715 Redundant I/O series. ControlLogix systems require 1756-N2 filler modules. Always verify your series compatibility before purchase.
-
Are these units used or refurbished?
We guarantee every 1715-N2T we ship is 100% Brand New in its original factory packaging. Using new fillers ensures the mechanical clips provide the maximum retention force required for industrial environments.

Tech & Buying Guide
Strategic Selection: Choosing the Right SCADA Software for Your PLC Project
In industrial automation, the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system acts as the bridge between raw machine data and actionable human intelligence. Selecting the incorrect software platform can lead to integration bottlenecks, scalability issues, and excessive long-term maintenance costs. As an automation consultant with 15 years of experience, I have guided many projects through the selection process. Below are the essential criteria for choosing a platform that ensures both performance and longevity.
Ensuring Operational Continuity: The Strategic Value of Redundant Automation Systems
In modern industrial landscapes, unplanned downtime is the ultimate adversary. For sectors relying on complex PLC and DCS architectures, a single hardware failure can trigger catastrophic production losses. Therefore, implementing redundant automation systems is no longer a luxury; it is a fundamental requirement for mission-critical operations. In this article, I analyze why redundancy remains the backbone of reliable industrial infrastructure.
Selecting the Right Cables for Industrial Automation: A Comprehensive Guide
Selecting the appropriate cabling infrastructure is critical for the success of any industrial automation project. Improper cable selection often leads to signal degradation, system instability, and costly downtime. As an automation engineer, I frequently see projects compromised by poor cabling choices in harsh industrial environments. This guide simplifies the complex landscape of cabling to help you make informed decisions for your PLC, DCS, and control systems.
