Overview

The 515RTAENI is a replacement for the Allen-Bradley 1761-NET-ENI and 1761-NET-ENIW modules. The
515RTAENI gateway:

•

Provides the same Ethernet connectivity for all DF1 serial controllers, PanelView Standard
Terminals, and other DF1 full-duplex devices

•

Communicates between Allen-Bradley Logix and legacy controllers

•

Generates email messages via Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP)

•

Allows ability to easily upload and download programs using standard Rockwell Automation
tools

•

Writes to Ethernet controllers like ControlLogix

However, the interface is improved by providing web browser configuration, allowing up to 12 Ethernet
connections, adding support for string data types, and improving diagnostic functionality.

If at any time you need further assistance do not hesitate to call Real Time Automation support.

Support Hours are
