Allen-Bradley 1769-AENTR CompactLogix 69-Point Ethernet I/O Module

Overview

The 1769-AENTR EtherNet/IP distributed I/O system provides significant capabilities for streamlining your I/O management and reducing the need for spare parts. This adapter allows CompactLogix™ users to transition seamlessly to the next-generation CompactLogix controller while retaining their investment in 1769 I/O components. By implementing the 1769-AENTR, you can utilize the same I/O devices, promoting standardization on a single, scalable platform.

Machine and equipment builders often face challenges with control systems that are either oversized or undersized for their specific operational needs. Conversely, some manufacturers use multiple control platforms, each with its unique design environment, user interface, and vendor support structure. Adopting a scalable, appropriately sized control system can effectively address these issues and other critical business concerns.

Rockwell Automation offers a midrange solution that includes CompactLogix controllers, scalable servo drives, I/O modules, visualization tools, simplification aids, and essential features such as integrated motion control via EtherNet/IP. This comprehensive solution empowers machine builders to reduce costs and complexities in their machinery, making their products more competitive on a global scale. End users can also standardize their technology choices, reducing the risk of losing crucial engineering knowledge when personnel changes occur.
