Product Description

The 1788-EN2PAR is a communication adapter designed to bridge EtherNet/IP networks with parallel interface devices. It enables Allen-Bradley PLCs and other EtherNet/IP-enabled controllers to communicate with devices that use a parallel interface, such as certain printers, barcode scanners, and legacy equipment. This adapter facilitates smooth data exchange and integration in modern industrial environments, extending the life and usability of older hardware.

Product Specifications

Product Advantages

• Legacy Integration: Enables modern EtherNet/IP networks to interface with older parallel-based equipment, preserving capital investment.
• Ease of Use: Simple configuration through RSLogix/Studio 5000 or web-based interface.
• High Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and PLC-5 systems.
• Robust Performance: Supports fast and reliable data transfer suitable for time-sensitive industrial applications.
• Compact Design: Small form factor allows flexible installation in control cabinets with limited space.
• Diagnostic Support: LED indicators provide quick visual feedback for troubleshooting network and module status.

Precautions

• Power Supply: Ensure a stable 24V DC power source is used to avoid operational issues.
• Network Configuration: Proper IP address and subnet settings must be configured to avoid communication conflicts.
• Cable Length: Do not exceed recommended parallel cable length (typically up to 5 meters) to prevent signal degradation.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or corrosive environments unless properly protected.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check for firmware updates from Rockwell Automation to ensure compatibility and security.
• EMC Considerations: Ensure proper grounding and shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference in industrial environments.

Product Applications

• Printing Systems: Integrates barcode and label printers with PLC systems for packaging and logistics.
• Legacy Machine Control: Connects older parallel-driven machinery to modern control systems without hardware replacement.
• Data Acquisition: Interfaces with parallel-based data loggers or test equipment in R&D and production environments.
• Automated Labeling: Used in bottling, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries for automated labeling systems.
• Test and Measurement: Supports communication with parallel-based test instruments in quality control environments.
