EtherNet/IP Deterministic Network Integration
The 1788-EN2DN/A applies Allen Bradley industrial communication architecture for EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet network interoperability. The module manages implicit I/O messaging and explicit messaging functions between Logix controllers and DeviceNet nodes without requiring a local DeviceNet scanner card.
The device supports EtherNet/IP deterministic networks through a 10/100 Mbps RJ45 interface and provides DeviceNet node communication with selectable baud rates. Network configuration data can be managed through Studio 5000 Logix Designer, RSLogix 5000, RSLinx, and Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) files.
The linking device architecture supports I/O density scaling by relocating DeviceNet scanner functionality closer to field devices while maintaining EtherNet/IP controller communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 1788-EN2DN/A require a DeviceNet scanner card installed in the PLC chassis?
A: No. The linking device provides DeviceNet scanner functionality externally and communicates with EtherNet/IP controllers through the RJ45 network interface.
Q: What DeviceNet baud rates are supported by this module?
A: The device supports 125 Kbps, 250 Kbps, and 500 Kbps DeviceNet communication rates with Auto-Baud capability.
Q: Is the 1788-EN2DN/A suitable for firmware compatibility updates?
A: Firmware compatibility depends on the installed device revision and Rockwell Automation configuration tools. The available technical data does not specify individual firmware upgrade procedures.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Install the module on a compatible 35 mm DIN rail inside an appropriate control enclosure.
- Verify the 24 VDC power supply polarity before connecting the module power terminals.
- Route EtherNet/IP cables separately from high-voltage conductors and high-noise sources.
- Maintain DeviceNet trunk and drop cable shielding according to the network installation standard.
- Confirm RJ45 connection status and DeviceNet terminal wiring before applying power.
- Use EDS files matching the installed module revision during network configuration.
- Verify node addressing and baud rate settings before commissioning DeviceNet communication.
