Module Description

The 1747-AENTR Adapter enables CompactLogix™ and ControlLogix®

processors to control SLC™ I/O modules. It is primarily designed to enable

migration of existing SLC controlled systems to Logix-based systems.

The adapter mainly acts as a gateway between the SLC backplane and

EtherNet/IP and typically replaces an SLC controller in the 1746 rack. On

remote SLC racks, it replaces the 1747-ASB module or the ControlNet® adapters

1747-ACN15 and 1747-ACNR15.

Control of the backplane I/O is accomplished with a CompactLogix or

ControlLogix controller communicating through an EtherNet/IP router in the

Logix backplane, across EtherNet/IP, and into the 1747-AENTR gateway.

As a gateway between the SLC backplane and EtherNet/IP, the 1747-AENTR

module is a CIP™ server (for both Explicit Messaging and I/O) on the Ethernet

port, and an SLC host on the 1746 backplane.

Connections can be made to support 1746 and 1747 analog, digital, and

specialty I/O modules installed in the backplane.
