Frequently Asked Questions about 1797-TPS
Question: What is the 1797-TPS and what are its main features?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The Allen-Bradley 1797-TPS is a straight T-Tap module from the FLEX Ex family, designed to support ControlNet (CNET) communication. It enables effective network branching and device integration within industrial control systems. The unit is DIN-rail or panel mountable and suited for in-cabinet environments.

Question: Can the 1797-TPS be installed on a DIN rail?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1797-TPS is designed to support DIN rail or panel mounting. This makes it flexible for installation in control panels and junction boxes. The module's compact form factor and modular design make it easy to integrate into existing FLEX Ex enclosures, simplifying both retrofit and new installations.

Question: What is the purpose of a straight T-Tap in industrial networking?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

A straight T-Tap, such as the 1797-TPS, enables a point-to-point connection from the ControlNet trunk line to a device. It effectively creates a network branch without the need for signal interruption or rewiring of the main cable. This approach simplifies network expansion and enhances system maintainability, especially when multiple FLEX Ex I/O modules or nodes need to be added in a daisy-chain configuration.

Question: What is the enclosure rating of the 1797-TPS?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The module has an IP20 enclosure rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12 mm (e.g., fingers), but it has no protection against water or dust ingress. Therefore, it must be installed inside a protected control cabinet. It is not suitable for direct outdoor installation or unsealed environments unless additional protection is provided.

Question: Is the 1797-TPS still in production?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, the 1797-TPS was officially discontinued on December 31, 2017. Rockwell Automation has categorized this as requiring an engineering replacement, meaning there is no drop-in substitute and a system redesign may be required for upgrades.
