About 1761-NET-ENI/B

The Allen-Bradley Series B 1761-NET-ENI modules are ENI or Ethernet Interface modules that can connect to or communicate with other Ethernet modules or Ethernet-compatible modules in an Ethernet/IP network. These modules can make physical connections with other devices with their RS-232 ports and Ethernet ports. The users can keep track of the status of their Series B 1761-NET-ENI modules easily with the 5 LEDs that light up to indicate if the ports are transmitting data, when the modules are powered on, when the Ethernet network is connected, and if there are errors or faults in the modules or elsewhere in the system. The Series B 1761-NET-ENI modules are not able to make handshaking hardware or software connections on their RS-232 ports. Their baud rates are autobaud rates by default, but the baud rates can be reconfigured.

The Allen-Bradley Series B 1761-NET-ENI modules can be used to incorporate non-Ethernet devices into existing or new Ethernet/IP systems and they connect Ethernet devices like MicroLogix and CompactLogix controllers with the Ethernet/IP protocol and allow them to communicate with each other. The Series B 1761-NET-ENI modules have some features that the Series A modules do not have, including 2 new BOOTP options, the ability to use the DHCP or the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and the elimination of the need for 2 ENIs in a FlexLogix, ControlLogix, or CompactLogix system that uses the RSLogix 5000 protocol. These ENI modules meet the EMC standards. They can operate safely in non-hazardous industrial environments or in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C, or D rated hazardous industrial environments.
