Description
The Allen-Bradley 1756-CNBR is listed by Rockwell Automation as a ControlLogix Communication Module for ControlNet. Rockwell's product data gives a transmission rate of 5000 kbps, a maximum of 99 nodes and a maximum of 64 connections supported. It has two ControlNet BNC ports and one NAP RJ45 port, and Rockwell lists a current draw of 970mA @ 5.1V DC and 1.7mA @ 24V DC. Rockwell shows the lifecycle status as Discontinued and names the 1756-CN2R as its replacement, in the category Engineering Replacement.
Application: Communication module
Used with: ControlLogix 1756 chassis
What is the 1756-CNBR used for?
The module connects a ControlLogix chassis to a ControlNet network. Rockwell lists it as chassis based, fitting any slot and taking one slot width, with redundancy supported. It is used where a ControlLogix controller needs to communicate with other devices over ControlNet.
Key features
- Two ControlNet BNC ports plus one NAP RJ45 port
- Redundancy supported, according to Rockwell's product data
- Up to 99 nodes and 64 connections
- Chassis based, any slot, one slot wide
- Operating temperature range of 0 to 60 °C
