8520-ENET1 Allen Bradley

Description

Product Name: 8520-ENET1  Allen Bradley Power module

Product details:

The Allen-Bradley 8520-ENET1 is a Communication Module (often listed as a Spare or Add-On Module/Board) designed for use within the Allen-Bradley 8520 Series CNC Controllers.

• Primary Function: To provide network communication capabilities, specifically supporting MMS/Ethernet protocols, for the CNC system.

• System Compatibility: It is a component of the larger 8520 CNC Controller series, which also includes CPU modules (like the 8520-CPUX1), servo modules (like 8520-SM4), and power supplies.

• Role in CNC: It integrates the core CNC control system with external networks, allowing for data exchange, monitoring, and remote interaction with the manufacturing environment.

2. Product Specifications (Parameters)

Specific, detailed operating parameters (like power consumption, exact communication speed, IP rating) are not immediately available from summary information, but the core specification known is:

• Part Number: 8520-ENET1

• Module Type: Communication Module Spare MMS/Ethernet

• Category: Servo Products / CNC Controllers

• Approximate Weight: 3.19 lbs (1.45 kg)

3. Product Advantages (Based on System Context)

The advantages of the 8520-ENET1 are primarily tied to its critical role in the legacy 8520 CNC Controller system:

• Ethernet Connectivity: It enables the older 8520 CNC platform to communicate using the widely adopted Ethernet standard, facilitating integration into modern factory networks.

• MMS Protocol Support: The Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) is an international standard protocol for messaging and data transfer in industrial control systems, making the CNC system compatible with various manufacturing execution systems (MES) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

• System Integrity (Spare Part): For companies still utilizing the robust 8520 CNC platform, the availability of this spare part is crucial for maintenance, repair, and ensuring long-term operational continuity.

4. Important Considerations (Precautions)

When handling and using the 8520-ENET1 module, general industrial automation precautions and system-specific requirements apply:

• Compatibility: Ensure the module is compatible with the specific revision and configuration of your Allen-Bradley 8520 CNC system (e.g., 9/260, 9/440 series).

• Installation: As a component within a CNC system, proper installation is critical. This usually involves:

  • Power Down: Always power down the entire CNC system before installing or removing the module to prevent personal injury and equipment damage.

  • ESD Protection: Use proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) procedures (grounding strap) when handling the board.

• Wiring: Connect the Ethernet cabling according to the installation manual’s specifications to ensure reliable communication.

• Configuration: Software configuration within the CNC controller will be necessary to properly recognize and utilize the new communication module. Refer to the specific 8520 CNC PAL Reference Manual (Programmable Application Logic) for programming and configuration details.

5. Product Applications

The 8520-ENET1 Communication Module is exclusively used within the Allen-Bradley 8520 CNC Controller Series and its compatible variants (like the 9/Series). Its primary application is in:

• CNC Machinery: Providing network connectivity for machine tools such as CNC lathes, milling machines, and machining centers.

• Industrial Automation: Enabling the CNC machine to exchange crucial data (part programs, machine status, alarms) with higher-level control systems like:

  • Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)

  • SCADA systems

  • Centralized Production Monitoring

• Data Logging and Diagnostics: Allowing remote access for diagnostic checks, maintenance, and logging of machine performance data.
