Allen-Bradley Dual-port EtherNet/IP Adapter
The Allen-Bradley Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter provides an internal network connection for Allen-Bradley
PowerFlex 70, 700, 700H, 700S and 7000 AC drives; PowerFlex DC drives; and Allen-Bradley SMC Flex
and SMC-50 smart motor controllers. The adapter is field-installable and provides a convenient way to
control, configure and collect data over an EtherNet/IP network. The communication adapter supports
linear, star and ring topologies, as well as device-level ring (DLR) functionality. DLR-based networks help
reduce configuration time and costs by minimizing the number of managed switches and reducing cabling
needs. Users can create a single fault-tolerant DLR network for high-machine availability. If one device on
the EtherNet/IP network fails, the other devices can continue operation. DLR is a global ODVA standard.
