Product Information:

The 1715-AENTR is a ControlLogix redundant Ethernet/IP adapter module from Allen-Bradley, a subsidiary of Rockwell Automation. Designed for critical process control and safety applications, this module serves as the core communication hub for the 1715 high-reliability distributed fault-tolerant I/O system.

The Allen-Bradley 1715-AENTR is widely used in industries such as oil and gas, fine chemicals, power generation, and rail transportation worldwide. This module establishes a high-throughput, deterministic real-time network data link between multiple 1715 I/O modules on a remote rack and a central ControlLogix or GuardLogix processor. It offers superior hardware and software redundancy in network architecture and system fault tolerance.

The Allen-Bradley 1715-AENTR employs a unique dual-port Ethernet (DLR) architecture, integrating network switching capabilities, supporting highly robust device-level ring networks, and allowing two 1715-AENTR modules to be paired on the same I/O base for complete hardware redundancy.

  • Outfitted with dual front-facing 10/100 Mbps RJ45 EtherNet/IP ports supporting built-in switching capabilities
The Allen Bradley 1715-AENTR is a communication adapter designed specifically for EtherNet/IP networks. Its dual-channel design enhances communication capabilities. Its open design allows for flexible and convenient installation, while DIN rail mounting ensures reliable and easy assembly within a control cabinet.

The 1715-AENTR supports a power input range of 18 to 30 V DC and operates at a current of only 380 mA, enabling excellent energy management. It connects easily to ControlLogix controllers, solidifying its position in advanced automation systems. Furthermore, the adapter features built-in diagnostics to aid in troubleshooting and maintenance. An intuitive plug-and-play installation process simplifies setup and minimizes downtime. This flexibility allows it to adapt to various network topologies, such as DLR (Device-Level Ring) and star configurations, meeting diverse operational needs. The 1715-AENTR ensures reliable communication within redundant I/O systems.

The 1715-AENTR Allen Bradley Communication Adapter Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Allen Bradley 1715-AENTR Communication Adapter Module Manuals(Datasheets), Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
1.Safety Rating: TÜV Rheinland certified, suitable for SIL 2 (Safety Integrity Level 2) industrial protection circuits and process safety applications.
2.Conformal Coating: All internal electronic components are coated with a standard conformal coating to protect copper wires from high humidity, salt spray, and airborne chemical contaminants.
3.Thermal Performance: Designed for reliable operation over a wide industrial temperature range of -25°C to +60°C (-13°F to 140°F).
4.Hazardous Area Certification: ATEX, IECEx global certification, and North American certification, suitable for direct, unshielded installation in Zone 2 or Class I Zone 2 explosive gas environments.
DLR Configuration: When cascading the 1715-AENTR into a device-level ring network, ensure that a Logix-compatible monitoring switch exists in the ring network to manage beacon frames. The 1715-AENTR can operate as a ring node, but should not be used as the primary network monitor.
IP Address Synchronization: In a redundant pairing configuration, the primary 1715-AENTR adapter and the standby 1715-AENTR adapter share the same IP address. The standby module listens for traffic and mirrors the memory mapping of the active primary module, meaning that no redundancy label programming or standby IP address scheduling is required in your Logix logic.

Technical notes

The Rockwell Allen-Bradley 1715-AENTR is a highly reliable, redundant EtherNet/IP adapter designed for ControlLogix systems. It supports dual-module deployment on the 1715-A2A base, automatically switching IP addresses in case of failure, enabling zero-disruption fault-tolerant operation and hot-swapping. This module is SIL 2 functional safety certified, supports dual network ports, and provides high-speed, highly isolated data transmission and control in harsh industrial environments.
