It functions as a direct master gateway, eliminating the need for an intermediate Profibus-DP layer. This enables seamless integration of process automation field devices directly into Allen-Bradley Logix platforms using standard RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 engineering environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirect Integration Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy acting as a true Profibus PA master on the network side, the \u003cstrong\u003e1788HP-EN2PA\u003c\/strong\u003e simplifies loop architectures in industrial processing plants. It connects directly to an Allen-Bradley Ethernet bridge or switch, mapping field instruments into the controller's I\/O tree. This configuration allows process controllers to handle cyclic process variables and acyclic device diagnostics without complex third-party protocol converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn-Board Diagnostics \u0026amp; Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with an integrated LCD panel, the module offers immediate, on-site visibility into system health and network traffic. Operators can monitor bus voltages, internal module temperatures, external power feed values, and individual field device node status directly from the hardware interface. This local diagnostic capability streamlines troubleshooting during commissioning and routine maintenance routines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1788HP-EN2PA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley \/ Rockwell Automation (Hiprom)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEtherNet\/IP to Profibus PA Linking Device\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Power Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 VDC (9 VDC to 32 VDC operating range)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260 mA at 24 VDC (nominal, no field devices attached)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePA Bus Current Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 500 mA at 24 VDC per trunk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommunication Interfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEtherNet\/IP ports, Profibus PA terminal connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocal Interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated LCD Display Screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN Rail Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the 1788HP-EN2PA require a Profibus-DP intermediate layer for operation?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, this linking device operates as a direct master, communicating straight between EtherNet\/IP networks and Profibus PA field instruments without requiring any intermediate DP layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What local diagnostic information is available on the module display?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The built-in LCD screen displays real-time data including bus voltages, internal temperature, external power status, and individual node diagnostics for connected field instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53056673284376,"sku":"1788HP-EN2PA","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/3483\/3688\/files\/1788-EN2DN_Cocoai_7c53af38-27da-4f04-a6ec-a4844cf47f75.jpg?v=1793067532","url":"https:\/\/www.innoplcsync.com\/products\/allen-bradley-1788hp-en2pa-communication-modules","provider":"InnoPLC Sync Co., Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
