Product Details
Product Overview
The 1756-EN2TXT (1756-EN2TXT) is a ruggedized EtherNet/IP bridge specifically engineered for the ControlLogix platform. As part of the "XT" (Extended Temperature) line, this module is built to withstand rigorous industrial conditions that exceed the limits of standard control hardware. It provides high-capacity data routing and serves as a critical interface for distributed I/O, peer-to-peer interlocking, and HMI/SCADA connectivity. The hardware features specialized conformal coating, providing an extra layer of protection against contaminants and corrosive vapors.
