Information About 1756-CNB

The 1756-CNB is part of the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix series, designed to bridge communication between the ControlLogix backplane and a ControlNet network. It operates at a ControlNet communication rate of 5 Mbps and supports up to 99 nodes and 64 bidirectional connections, which can include both scheduled and unscheduled data. This module is suitable for applications requiring up to 40–48 Logix connections per communication module and ensures seamless routing of I/O and messaging data. Featuring one BNC connector and one RJ-45 NAP port, it simplifies network integration and setup through selectable node addresses from 01 to 99. With a compact 1-slot width, a current draw of 970 mA at 5.1 VDC, and a thermal dissipation of 17.4 BTU/hr, the module delivers efficient operation while maintaining system reliability.

Key Features:

  • Module Type: ControlLogix ControlNet Bridge module for ControlNet integration.
  • Communication Speed: Operates at 5 Mbps for high-speed data transfer.
  • Node Capacity: Supports up to 99 nodes for scalable network setups.
  • Connection Capacity: Handles up to 64 bidirectional connections (scheduled and unscheduled).
  • Ports: Includes 1 BNC connector for non-redundant media and 1 RJ-45 NAP port.
  • Message Handling: Provides up to 20 buffers for unconnected messages.
  • Current Draw: 970 mA at 5.1 VDC and 1.7 mA at 24 VDC for power-efficient use.
  • Dissipation: Rated at 5.1 W power dissipation and 17.4 BTU/hr thermal output.
  • Slot Requirement: Occupies a single slot in a ControlLogix chassis for compact installation.
  • Configuration: Standard non-redundant operation with selectable node addresses from 01–99.

The 1756-CNB delivers the reliability and scalability required for ControlNet communication in ControlLogix-based automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1756-CNB
Question: What is the function of the 1756-CNB module?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The Allen-Bradley 1756-CNB is a ControlNet bridge module that connects a ControlLogix chassis to a ControlNet network. It facilitates communication between the controller and distributed I/O, other ControlNet nodes, or HMI/SCADA systems. The module supports both scheduled and unscheduled messaging and can route control and diagnostic data efficiently. It plays a vital role in large, distributed automation systems where real-time control is needed.

Question: How many devices or nodes can be connected using the 1756-CNB?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The 1756-CNB module supports up to 99 nodes on the ControlNet network. It can manage up to 64 bidirectional communication connections, including both scheduled and unscheduled traffic. Additional modules can be used in the same chassis if more connections are needed. These capabilities make it ideal for complex network architectures.

Question: What diagnostic features are built into the 1756-CNB?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The module supports both software and hardware diagnostics. It displays connection status, node address, and module name on its front panel. Users can also view error counters and network status through the programming software to aid in troubleshooting and performance monitoring.

Question: How is the module configured and installed?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The 1756-CNB is a single-slot module that fits into any ControlLogix chassis. Configuration includes setting the node address via DIP switches and defining communication parameters using Studio 5000 or RSNetWorx software. It is important to verify path routing for accurate communication between devices.

Question: Is the 1756-CNB still in production?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, according to Rockwell Automation, the 1756-CNB will be discontinued on December 31, 2024. Customers are advised to migrate to the 1756-CN2, which is the recommended engineering replacement and offers enhanced capabilities.
