Allen-Bradley 1788-ENBT Ethernet/IP Daughtercard
The 1788-ENBT is an Ethernet/IP communication daughtercard engineered specifically for the Allen-Bradley FlexLogix controller platform. It provides a reliable network interface, enabling controllers to communicate with HMIs, SCADA systems, gateways, and other network nodes. Featuring a compact form factor, the module handles multi-device data exchange at transmission speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Network Architecture & Integration
This daughtercard connects directly to a designated slot on the FlexLogix backplane. It features a single RJ45 port supporting standard Category 5 twisted-pair cabling for 802.3-compliant Ethernet/IP networks. Operating in either half or full-duplex modes, the module streamlines plant-floor communications without requiring complex cable routing schemas or external network bridges.
Diagnostic Indicators & Power Specifications
The 1788-ENBT is powered directly through the controller backplane, drawing 5 V DC at 465 mA with a maximum power consumption of 2.33 W and a thermal dissipation of 8.0 BTU/hr. For system diagnostics, the front panel features four status LEDs covering network state, link activity, module status, and bandwidth utilization percentage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 1788-ENBT module support RIUP (Removal and Insertion Under Power)?
A: No, the 1788-ENBT does not support live insertion. You must disconnect power to the FlexLogix controller before installing or removing the daughtercard to prevent electrical arcing or hardware damage.
Q: What diagnostic information do the LED indicators provide?
A: The module is equipped with four status LEDs that display network status, link status, module health status, and a bandwidth utilization percentage indicator for real-time monitoring.
