Allen-Bradley 1768-ENBT Ethernet IP Network Interface Module

The Allen-Bradley 1768-ENBT Ethernet/IP Network Interface Module is a single-port EtherNet/IP bridge for CompactLogix racks, designed to connect a 1768 CompactLogix backplane to an Ethernet/IP network. It provides one IEEE 802.3 Ethernet RJ45 port supporting 10/100 Mbps operation and mounts on a DIN rail or panel, making it easy to integrate in compact automation cabinets. As part of the CompactLogix EtherNet/IP family, the 1768-ENBT serves as the network interface between the controller backplane and field devices on the Ethernet/IP network, enabling standard data exchange with other Ethernet/IP devices and controllers. The module is compatible with 1768-series racks and is configured through Rockwell Automation software to establish network parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for reliable communication within industrial networks. Typical applications include linking a CompactLogix system to distributed I/O, sensors, and actuators on an Ethernet/IP network, enabling remote monitoring, control, and data collection in manufacturing cells and packaging lines. Key specifications include 1 Ethernet RJ45 port, 10/100 Mbps operation, DIN rail or panel mounting, and Ethernet/IP compatibility within the Rockwell Automation ecosystem.
