All Micrologix and Compactlogix controllers can connect to the the 1761-NET-ENI and 1761-NET-ENIW p as well as other DF1 full-duplex devices.
Non-Ethernet controllers on both old and new Ethernet networks can easily be connected to 1761- ENI or ENIW. It’s functionality allows programs to upload and download, talk with each controller, and make SMTP email messages.
Ethernet/IP has inter-device abilities with open protocols industry ratings. In a peer to perr relationship, You can trade data withPLCs, SLCs, and Controllogix, Allen-Bradley Ethernet controllers (SLC, PLC, and ControlLogix). No Master-type device is not required.
Both the 1761-NET-ENI & ENIW will allow your controller via SMTP to send email messages to a network and its various destinations. Transmission initiation via email can be used for data or status details.
Messaging
The 1761-Net-ENI can be reached by other Ethernet devices, or start communications with other
EtherNet/IP devices, when the ENI/ENIW is connected to a programmable controller and
connected to Ethernet.
SMTP can also be handled by the NET-ENI/ENIW, that provide controllers with a way to send email messages on the network. The email can be used to initiate the transmission of data or
status information on Ethernet.
Applications:
The 1761-Net-ENI/ENIW can function in these application usages:
•Controllers such as SLC, Compactlogix, MicroLogix, PLC-5, FlexLogix, and
ControlLogix that have DF1 Full-Duplex via a RS-232 port.
• PCs running RSLinx (V2.30.00 +) with a driver DF1
Full-Duplex.
• Other Compliant DF1 Full-Duplex devices with a RS-232 port. This could include devices such as an operator interface.
• The Ethernet driver of RSLinx (V2.31.00 & new versions).
Improvements of Series B
• Compactlogix no longer requires for two ENIs . This also includes Controllogix and Flexlogics with RSLogix 5000.
• DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) can now be used.
• Options for two new BOOTP.
The same characterisitcs of the 1761-NET-ENIW are the same the 1761-NET-ENI. Enhancements include web-server.
In the world of automation and control systems, you may have encountered the term “Modbus Gateway.” But what exactly does this term mean? How does it function, and why is it vital in our technology-driven world? This article is your comprehensive guide to understanding Modbus Gateway.
Modbus, an established communication protocol used extensively in industrial control systems, has withstood the test of time due to its simplicity and ease of deployment. But, as with any technical protocol, understanding error codes is essential to ensure smooth operation.
Modbus communication is not a new term in the industrial automation field. Established in 1979 by Modicon, it has become a de facto standard communication protocol, especially in the realm of industrial automation. How has it managed to stay relevant over all these decades, you ask? Well, its simplicity, reliability, and open-source nature have played significant roles in its longevity.
Discover the many ways a Modbus RTU Converter can benefit your industrial automation systems.
Modbus is a communication protocol developed by Modicon systems. Primarily used with Industrial devices, it’s designed to allow these devices to communicate over various types of media, including both wired and wireless networks.
Before diving into the world of Modbus to Ethernet converters, it’s essential to understand these two key concepts individually.
