Rockwell 1788-EN2DN/A EtherNet/IP to DeviceNet Gateway

Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2DN/A EtherNet/IP to DeviceNet Linking Device

Product Overview

The 1788-EN2DN/A is a high-performance linking device engineered by Rockwell Automation to bridge the gap between modern EtherNet/IP architectures and established DeviceNet field networks. As an intelligent gateway, it allows ControlLogix or CompactLogix controllers to scan DeviceNet nodes—such as photo-eyes, motor starters, and valve manifolds—without the need for a local chassis-based scanner module. By acting as a remote bridge, the 1788-EN2DN/A facilitates the integration of legacy field devices into newer Ethernet infrastructures, supporting both data exchange and device configuration via a single points of access.
