Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1794-ACNR15 Flex I/O ControlNet Redundant Adapter Module is a high-reliability communication interface designed for distributed I/O systems requiring redundant network connections. Part of the Flex I/O ControlNet family, it allows Flex I/O modules to be connected to dual ControlNet networks, ensuring continuous operation even if one network fails.
This adapter features two ControlNet BNC ports and supports ControlNet protocol version 1.5 at a network speed of 5 Mbps. It integrates a 24 VDC power supply to feed the FlexBus backplane, delivering up to 640 mA to connected modules. With an input voltage range of 19.2–31.2 VDC, a maximum current draw of 450 mA, and inrush current of 23 A for 2 ms, the module is built for stable operation in industrial environments. The IP20 open-style construction and DIN rail mounting simplify installation in standard control panels.
The 1794-ACNR15 is ideal for applications where network redundancy, reliability, and continuous uptime are critical, providing both protection and high-speed communication for Flex I/O systems.
