1756‑EN4TR | Allen‑Bradley ControlLogix Gigabit EtherNet/IP Communication Module
Part Number: 1756‑EN4TR
Manufacturer: Allen‑Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Series: 1756 ControlLogix
Type: Gigabit EtherNet/IP Interface Module
Lifecycle Status: Active
The 1756‑EN4TR is a high‑performance gigabit‑speed EtherNet/IP communication interface module for the ControlLogix platform. It delivers high‑speed industrial network connectivity for ControlLogix controllers, supporting large‑scale I/O, CIP motion control, network redundancy and CIP security functions. Installed in standard 1756 racks, it enables controller communication with remote I/O, HMI, variable‑frequency drives, servo systems and other EtherNet/IP field devices.
Core Communication Specifications
- 4‑port RJ45 copper gigabit Ethernet interface (10 Mbps / 100 Mbps / 1000 Mbps auto‑negotiation)
- Maximum 512 TCP connections for host and field device communications
- Supports up to 256 CIP motion axes over EtherNet/IP for complex multi‑axis motion applications
- Supported network topologies: Star, Linear, DLR (Device Level Ring), PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) for network fault‑tolerance
- Built‑in CIP Security for industrial communication integrity and confidentiality protection; supports SNMP network management
Key Product Features
1. Gigabit High‑Speed Transmission & Redundancy Support
Gigabit bandwidth reduces data transmission latency for high‑density I/O and multi‑axis motion systems. DLR and PRP redundancy mechanisms ensure network continuity during cable or port failure, minimizing production downtime for critical automation systems.
2. CIP Security Function
Native CIP security implementation encrypts and authenticates EtherNet/IP communications, defending industrial control networks from unauthorized access, ideal for smart factory and high‑security‑requirement projects.
3. Full ControlLogix Platform Compatibility
Works with all ControlLogix 5570 / 5580 series controllers. Occupies one single slot in standard 1756 chassis (1756‑A4, A7, A10, A13). Supports remote distributed I/O, programming download, HMI data exchange and motion control traffic simultaneously, configured within Studio 5000 Logix Designer software.
4. Comprehensive Status Diagnostics
Front‑panel multi‑segment LED indicators display link status, network activity, module fault and communication health status for rapid on‑site troubleshooting. Hot‑swap capable for replacement without powering down the ControlLogix rack.
