Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT 1-Port EtherNet I/O Adapter Module

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1734-AENT 1-Port EtherNet I/O Adapter Module is a POINT I/O EtherNet/IP adapter designed for industrial automation applications. It supports the EtherNet/IP network protocol, enabling reliable communication between industrial Ethernet networks, distributed I/O modules, and control systems to connect shop floor equipment with central control systems. This module offers broad compatibility, working seamlessly with ControlLogix and CompactLogix series controllers (such as the 1769-L33ER), and can be configured via Studio 5000 software for streamlined system setup.

Key technical specifications include a single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port that operates in half-duplex or full-duplex mode, ensuring flexible and efficient data transfer. It supports default DHCP/BOOTP protocols for automatic IP assignment, and features a dip switch for quick static IP configuration within the 192.168.1.XXX network segment. For enhanced operational flexibility, the module supports hot-swapping and can expand to connect up to 16 POINT I/O modules, including models like the 1734-IB8 digital input module and 1734-OB8 output module, making it ideal for scalable distributed I/O architectures in manufacturing and process control environments.
