Information About 1794-AENT

The 1794-AENT is part of the Flex I/O series and functions as an Ethernet/IP communication adapter that links Flex I/O modules to controllers such as ControlLogix, CompactLogix, PLC-5, and SLC500. It supports linear network topology through one RJ45 Cat.5 Ethernet port and operates within an input voltage range of 19.2–31.2 VDC with a nominal rating of 24 VDC. The module installs on a DIN rail or panel, provides LED indicators for module, network, and link status, and withstands industrial environments through tested vibration resistance, shock resistance, and a temperature range from 0 to 55 °C. It offers screw terminal connections, Flexbus current up to 640 mA, and supports IP address configuration via thumbwheels or DHCP for flexible setup.

Key Features:

  • Ethernet/IP Connectivity: Provides one RJ45 port supporting 10/100 Mbps communication for Flex I/O networking.
  • Supports Up to 8 Modules: Operates as the communication interface for as many as eight Flex I/O modules.
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: Accepts 19.2–31.2 VDC with a nominal 24 VDC rating for stable operation.
  • Status Diagnostics: Includes LEDs for module status, network status, and link status to simplify monitoring.
  • Industrial Durability: Withstands vibration, operating shock, and temperatures from 0 to 55 °C.
  • Configurable IP Addressing: Offers thumbwheel or DHCP-based IP address configuration with a default of 999.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Supports DIN rail and panel mounting for easy integration into control cabinets.
  • Flexbus Support: Provides up to 640 mA of Flexbus current for connected modules.

The 1794-AENT delivers the reliability and precision required for distributed Ethernet/IP I/O communication within industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1794-AENT
Question: What is the primary function of the 1794-AENT module?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1794-AENT is an Ethernet/IP communication adapter that allows FLEX I/O modules to be remotely connected to an Ethernet-based control system. It serves as a gateway between FLEX I/O modules and a Logix-based controller such as ControlLogix or CompactLogix. This helps in building distributed control architectures over Ethernet networks.

Question: What are the dimensions of the 1794-AENT module?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The dimensions of the 1794-AENT are approximately 3.4 x 3.7 x 2.7 inches (87 x 94 x 92 mm). Its compact design allows it to be easily installed on a DIN rail within control panels. Despite its small size, it supports full Ethernet/IP communication capabilities.

Question: What is the required power supply voltage for the 1794-AENT?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The module operates within a voltage range of 19.2 to 31.2 VDC, with a nominal rating of 24 VDC. Power must comply with SELV or PELV standards for safe operation. The power input feeds the module and connected FLEX I/O modules.

Question: How to factory reset 1794-AENT?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

To factory reset the 1794-AENT Ethernet/IP adapter, power off the module and set the node address rotary switches on the front panel to 888. Then power the module back on. It will enter factory default mode, clear the existing IP configuration, and await a new configuration via BOOTP or manual setting. After reset, return the switches to their desired address before rebooting.

Question: Is the 1794-AENT adapter still being manufactured?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1794-AENT adapter is currently in the "End of Life" phase and will be officially discontinued by Rockwell Automation on September 30, 2028. After this date, the module will no longer be available for purchase. Users are advised to start planning migration to the recommended functional replacement, 1794-AENTR, to ensure continuity in their control systems.
