Description
Product Name: 1785-ENBT Allen Braley Output module
Product details:
The Allen-Bradley 1785-ENBT is an Ethernet/IP communication interface module specifically designed for the PLC-5 control system. While the PLC-5 series is now considered a legacy platform by Rockwell Automation, the 1785-ENBT remains a critical component for users looking to bridge older industrial systems with modern Ethernet networks.
1. Product Description
The 1785-ENBT serves as a high-speed communication bridge that plugs into a PLC-5 chassis. It allows the PLC-5 processor to communicate over an Ethernet/IP network, enabling seamless data exchange with newer Logix-based controllers (like ControlLogix), HMI systems, and enterprise software.
2. Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
| Module Type | Ethernet/IP Communication Interface |
| Compatibility | PLC-5 Systems (1771 Universal I/O Chassis) |
| Communication Rate | 10/100 Mbps (Auto-sensing) |
| Port Type | RJ45 Ethernet Port |
| Current Draw | 1.0 A @ 5V DC (from backplane) |
| Maximum TCP Connections | 64 |
| Maximum CIP Connections | 32 |
| Isolation Voltage | 30V (continuous), Basic Insulation Type |
3. Key Advantages
- Modern Connectivity for Legacy Systems: It brings modern networking capabilities to aging hardware without requiring a full system replacement.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex communication, which is significantly faster than older DH+ or Remote I/O protocols.
- Web Services: Features an internal web server that allows for basic module diagnostics and configuration via a standard web browser.
- Seamless Integration: Supports CIP (Common Industrial Protocol), allowing it to talk directly to PowerFlex drives, PanelView HMIs, and other Allen-Bradley Ethernet devices.
- Simplified Messaging: Facilitates MSG (Message) instructions between PLC-5 and ControlLogix controllers.
4. Application Areas
- Data Collection: Sending production data from a PLC-5 to an ERP or SCADA system.
- HMI Upgrades: Replacing old serial-based HMIs with modern Ethernet-based PanelView Plus terminals.
- Distributed Control: Linking multiple PLC-5 chassis over a plant-wide Ethernet backbone.
- Phased Migration: Used as a temporary bridge during the migration process from PLC-5 to ControlLogix.
5. Important Considerations & Precautions
Note: As of today, the 1785-ENBT is categorized as “End of Life” or “Legacy” by Rockwell Automation. Availability is primarily through refurbished stock or secondary markets.
- Backplane Power: Ensure your power supply has enough overhead, as the module draws a significant 1.0 A from the 5V backplane.
- Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the PLC-5 processor firmware is compatible with Ethernet messaging before installation.
- Network Security: Because the 1785-ENBT is an older module, it does not have the robust built-in cybersecurity features found in the modern Stratix or GuardLogix lines. Always use a managed switch or VPN for external access.
- Static Discharge: Always use an anti-static wrist strap when handling the module to prevent damage to the internal circuitry.
