Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2TR ControlLogix EtherNet/IP Module
The Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2TR is a dual-port EtherNet/IP communication module for ControlLogix. Supporting 256 CIP connections and Device Level Ring (DLR) redundancy, it provides high-capacity, safety-capable networking for high-speed I/O and synchronized motion control.
High-Capacity Dual-Port Communication Bridge
The Allen-Bradley 1756-EN2TR is a high-performance EtherNet/IP communication bridge module designed for the ControlLogix platform. This module facilitates seamless data exchange between the controller and various network devices, including distributed I/O, other controllers, and HMI/SCADA systems. Because it features two built-in Ethernet ports, it inherently supports Device Level Ring (DLR) topologies. This capability provides a resilient network infrastructure that can survive a single point of failure (such as a cut cable) without losing communication. Consequently, the 1756-EN2TR is a standard choice for mission-critical industrial applications requiring high uptime and deterministic performance.

Advanced Networking and Safety Integration
The 1756-EN2TR maximizes system versatility by supporting CIP Safety and CIP Motion protocols. This allows engineers to run safety-rated signals and high-precision synchronized motion axis data over the same physical Ethernet cable, reducing wiring complexity and costs. Furthermore, the module acts as a “communication bridge,” enabling users to browse through the backplane to other networks like ControlNet or DeviceNet without additional programming. Moreover, the module supports “Linear,” “Star,” and “Ring” topologies, giving designers the flexibility to match the network layout to the physical plant floor. Since it is a high-capacity module, it can handle significantly more traffic and connected devices than the standard 1756-ENBT, making it suitable for large-scale automation architectures.
Primary Industrial Applications
- Process Automation:Â Connecting ControlLogix processors to distributed 1756, 1794 (FLEX), and 5069 I/O systems.
- Motion Control:Â Synchronizing Kinetix servo drives over EtherNet/IP for multi-axis machinery.
- Redundant Networking:Â Utilizing the dual ports for Device Level Ring (DLR) to ensure zero-recovery-time redundancy.
- SCADA Interfacing:Â Serving as the high-speed gateway for FactoryTalk View and third-party HMI software.

Allen-Bradley 2094-BM02-S Servo Drive Axis Module
The Allen-Bradley 2094-BM02-S, also cataloged as the 2094-BM02-S Servo Drive, operates as a dedicated hardware component for multi-axis motion control execution within ControlLogix platforms. The hardware acts as a modular inverter node mounted directly onto a shared integrated power rail system. It modulates raw DC link energy into high-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) power vectors to regulate the angular positioning, velocity, and torque outputs of synchronized permanent magnet synchronous motors.

Industrial Control & Deterministic Driving Network
The Allen-Bradley 2094-BM02-S interacts directly over backplane bus communication velocity networks to achieve microsecond-level synchronization across adjacent drive modules. The hardware features deterministic network compatibility, letting control processors command motion trajectories with minimal jitter. It supports peak enhancement technology, scaling the nominal inverter output profile from a standard 150% threshold up to 250% during peak torque demands. This scaling permits rapid rotor acceleration and deceleration profiles without triggering overcurrent trips. Integrated Safe-Torque Off (STO) hardware circuits provide independent physical galvanic control paths, disabling gating signals to the output power transistors to prevent unexpected motor rotation during active maintenance states.Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the backplane current and configuration limits when expanding axis modules on a single rail?A: The module must be inserted into an authorized Kinetix 6000 power rail, supporting up to seven axis modules alongside one master power module. The cumulative peak current draw must not exceed the structural rating of the shared copper backplane link.Q: Is this hardware compatible with live hot-swapping procedures?A: No. The shared 650 VDC bus lines pose arc-flash and component damage hazards. System DC bus voltage must be entirely drained and verified below safe thresholds before seating or unseating the module from the rail structure.Q: Can the internal 115 Ohm shunt resistor handle high-inertia braking loads?A: The internal shunt resistor is designed for short-duration thermal dissipation. High-inertia or cyclic deceleration applications require an external, isolated shunt module to prevent DC bus overvoltage faults.Field Installation Guidelines
- Enclosure Clearance & Thermal Profile: Maintain a minimum enclosure installation depth of 10.7 inches. Ensure unimpeded vertical ventilation spacing above and below the module chassis to prevent heat sink thermal saturation.
- Cable Separation Architecture: Physically isolate unshielded high-voltage power cables, including motor leads and shunt resistor lines, from low-level digital feedback encoder loops and communication wires to suppress cross-talk.
- Shielding and Ground Boundary: Terminate all motor cable shields at the designated grounding clamp on the power rail base. Maintain a low-impedance ground plane across the entire mounting subpanel.
- Overcurrent Protection: Install specified circuit breakers or high-speed semiconductor fuses upstream of the main power distribution block to guard the internal solid-state components against phase-to-phase short circuits.
