Information About 1769-AENTR

The Allen-Bradley 1769-AENTR is a chassis-based input/output module that belongs to the Bulletin 1769 Compact I/O series. This module has the ability to help users reduce an I/O spare parts inventory. Distributed by the EtherNet/IP network, this I/O module permits CompactLogix consumers to utilize the 1769 I/O system again when upgrading to the next series of CompactLogix controllers without interfering with their previous 1769 I/O investment. Users who own the 1769-AENTR can use the same input/output module to regulate on a sole, adaptable platform. The purpose of the 1769-AENTR is to simplify the operator’s system architecture and help minimize migration costs. Other advantages of using this I/O module also include system expansion without controller limitation, inventory reduction due to one standardized I/O platform, and enterprise connection using a single network program issued from the EtherNet/IP network.

The 1769-AENTR has dual Ethernet ports where users can connect either linear topologies or DLR. It is a scalable control system that serves as an efficient solution for machine and equipment builders who experience inconsistent engine performance. The 1769-AENTR also allows manufacturers to meet an application’s needs without leveraging multiple control platforms. When selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective control system, users often consider factors such as scalability, sustainability, high-performance, simplification, security, and single network architecture, all of which can be found in the 1769-AENTR I/O module. The minimum communication port speed for the 1769-AENTR is around 10 Mbit/second, while its maximum communication speed can reach up to 100 Mbit/second. The ideal operating temperature for this module is between 0 and 60 degrees Celsius.

The 1769-AENTR primary is feature includes the dual Ethernet interface supports a variety of Ethernet topologies such as Liner, Star and Device Level Ring (DLR). It is primarily designed to simplify control architecture, I/O expandability, inventory reduction, migration, and ease of connection to enterprise level.

The 1769-AENTR is a single slot width module that supports up to 128 Logical communications, 96 TCP/IP connections. It has a current draw of 500 mA and isolation voltage of 50V (continuous), basic insulation type Tested at 710V DC for 60 s with an approximate weight of 0.280 kg (0.61 lb) and dimensions of 118 x 50 x 87 mm (4.65 x 1.97 x 3.43 in.).

When establishing connections with the 1769-AENTR, the recommended wire size is RJ45 connector that complies according to IEC 60603-7 standard, and 2 or 4 pair Category 5e minimum cable according to TIA 568-B.1 or Category 5 cable according to ISO/IEC 24702. It carries certifications from the c-UL-us, CE, RCM, Ex, KC, and EtherNet/IP.

It may be used to communicate with Human Machine Interface (HMI) devices, especially the PanelView product family, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and other controllers for messaging functions.
