Description

AB 1715-AENTR Communication Adapter Module

Product Dimensions：

The AB (Allen-Bradley) 1715-AENTR is a high-performance, highly available Ethernet/IP adapter module. It is part of the Bulletin 1715 Redundant I/O system, designed specifically for applications where downtime is not an option.

1. Product Description

The 1715-AENTR acts as a communication bridge between an EtherNet/IP network and the 1715 Redundant I/O modules. It provides the connectivity required for a ControlLogix controller to communicate with remote I/O over a standard Ethernet network.

Its primary function is to support redundant configurations, ensuring that if one adapter or network path fails, the system continues to operate without interruption.

2. Technical Parameters (Specifications)

3. Product Advantages

• Fault Tolerance: Supports redundant adapter pairs. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over seamlessly.

• DLR (Device Level Ring) Support: Provides network resiliency by allowing the system to stay connected even if one point in the Ethernet ring is broken.

• Hot Swappable: Supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP), meaning you can replace a module without shutting down the entire system.

• Rugged Design: Built to operate in extreme environments with a wide temperature range and vibration resistance.

• No Programming Required: Configuration is integrated into the Studio 5000 Logix Designer environment, simplifying setup.

4. Key Considerations (Precautions)

• Power Supply: Ensure a stable 24V DC power source. Fluctuations outside the 18–32V range can cause communication drops.

• Mounting: The 1715-AENTR must be installed on a 1715-A2A or 1715-A3IO base unit. Ensure the modules are securely seated.

• Firmware Compatibility: Always verify that the adapter firmware is compatible with your ControlLogix controller and Studio 5000 version.

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): This is a sensitive electronic component. Use an internal grounding wrist strap during installation to prevent static damage.

5. Product Applications

The 1715-AENTR is typically used in “Mission Critical” industries where a system failure could lead to dangerous conditions or massive financial loss:

• Oil & Gas: Control systems for offshore platforms and refineries.

• Chemical Processing: Monitoring hazardous reactions that require constant cooling or pressure control.

• Power Generation: Managing turbines and emergency shutdown systems (ESD).

• Water Treatment: Maintaining continuous flow and filtration processes in large-scale facilities.
