FAQ for 1756-EN2TRK

The Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2TRK is a conformal-coated, dual copper, 2-port EtherNet/IP communication bridge module and is part of the 1756 ControlLogix Communication Modules series. Its conformal coating is made of polymeric films that seal out contaminants and humidity to protect the assembly. The 1756-EN2TRK has a communication rate of 10/100 Mbps with a total of 128 TCP/IP connections and 256 Logix connections. Plus, it can support up to 8 CIP Motion Axes. 
The Dual-Port 1756-EN2TRK EtherNet/IP Bridge includes a special feature –the Embedded Switch Technology. This enables greater options for topology configuration from linear to DLR (Device-Level Ring). The 1756-EN2TRK supports high-performance applications allowing devices to be connected directly to the network. This eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet switch simplifying system configuration and reducing overall costs. It also supports IEEE 1588 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) for accurate time synchronization and QoS (Quality of Service) that prioritize data transmission. 
The 1756-EN2TRK Communication Module is used to control I/O modules and drives, communicate with other EtherNet devices (via messages and HMI), bridge EtherNet/IP links to route messages, and work as an I/O adapter on remote EtherNet/IP links. The 1756-EN2TRK supports SNMP (password required) and socket services. It has 1 A current draw at 5.1V DC, 5.1 W power dissipation, and a thermal dissipation of 17.4 BTU/h.
