1797-BCNR

The 1797-BCNR by Allen Bradley is classified as a ControlNet Ex Redundant Media Adapter, tailored for seamless integration within ControlNet environments. This device serves as a link, enabling communication between a standard ControlNet system and a ControlNet Ex system, thus enhancing system redundancy. It achieves a transmission rate of 5 Mbit/s, ensuring swift data communication over the network.

Designed for DIN rail mounting, the 1797-BCNR is straightforward to install in control cabinets and equipment enclosures. Given its IP20 protection rating, it is suitable for indoor installations where exposure to dust or moisture is limited. The lack of a required external power supply simplifies its integration, leading to reduced installation complexity and cost.

In operation, this media adapter can withstand temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 °C, making it versatile across various industrial scenarios. Furthermore, it is capable of withstanding storage temperatures as low as -20 °C to as high as 100 °C, ensuring reliable performance even when not in active use. It supports relative humidity levels from 5 to 95%, maintaining operational integrity without condensation on its internal components.

With a transmission attenuation level of -7.84 dB, the unit is designed to minimize signal loss over distances. Additionally, its shock resistance rating of 30g during operation enhances its durability, making it suitable for use in environments subject to vibrations or shocks.
