Manufacturer: Rockwell Automation
Brand: Alan Bradley
Product Number/Catalog number: 1756-EN2TR series
Series: ControlLogix
Module type: with embedded switch
The Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2TRXT is a high performance bridge with dual copper embedded switching technology. As the ControlLogix-XT model, it offers enhanced protection against corrosion, salinity, humidity, moisture/condensation, and fungal growth. It supports information exchange, real-time I/O messaging, and regular messaging. With the help of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) security, it allows the simultaneous transmission of diagnostic information and control data over a public network. It is part of the ControlLogix EtherNet/IP network communication module.

The ControlLogix-XT 1756-EN2TRXT bridge is robust and ANSI/ISA2, IEC and EMC compliant, making it ideal for caustic soda or extreme environments. It can be used for control applications in the temperature range -25-70 °C (-13-158 °F). Installing the product into the system will help reduce integration and installation costs while ensuring its service life.

The chassis based 1756-EN2TRXT communication module can be installed in any slot. It has a total of 128 TCP connections, 256 CIP connections and 128 + 128 CIP unconnected messages (backplane + Ethernet).

Its rated current consumption is 1 A at 5.1V DC. It has a communication rate of 10-100 Mbps and can support up to eight CIP motion axes. It has a packet rate capacity of 2000 HMI/MSG packets per second. When used with the 1756-L7x ControlLogix controller, it has a capacity of 25,000 I/O packets per second.
