1794-AENT Allen Bradley Flex EtherNet/IP Adaptor Rockwell Automation

The Allen-Bradley 1794-AENT is a Flex I/O module that functions as a communication adapter. This communication adapter enables a Flex I/O rack to connect to Ethernet network and exchange data with Ethernet enabled controllers. This adapter allows installation of up to Eight (8) Flex I/O modules, specifically supporting Discrete Input and output and Analog input and output modules.

Flex I/O product family are compact and cost-effective solution for implementing Distributed I/O architecture. The 1794-AENT allows this via the single RJ45 port which supports Ethernet I/P protocol. It supports 10/100 Mbps communication rate.

The 1794-AENT is capable of linear topology. The network address is configured using the thumbwheel switches provided with the module or using a DHCP server. By default, the adapter switches are set at 999.
