The Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2PAR is an advanced linking device that seamlessly integrates ProfiBus PA devices into Logix platforms via Ethernet. It requires a SELV or PELV power supply, operating on an input voltage between 24 and 32 Volts DC with a current draw of 0.75 Amps, and efficiently uses power with 260 milliwatts drawn at 24 Volts DC when unattached to field devices. The device supports both shielded and unshielded CAT5 cables for Ethernet, while its DC power and ProfiBus PA connections recommend a 24 to 18 AWG copper wire rated for at least 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Compliance with T4 North American and IEC temperature codes ensures reliable performance, with diagnostic information accessible through FDT Thin Frame in Studio 5000, offering robust management and supervision. The device also includes ESD protection practices to prevent damage during handling, ensuring a reliable and safe operation in industrial environments.
