Allen Bradley 1783-ETAP1F Stratix Ethernet/IP Fiber Tap Module

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1783-ETAP1F provides high-performance connectivity for EtherNet/IP networks, specifically designed to integrate non-DLR devices into a Device Level Ring (DLR) topology. This module features a hybrid port configuration, combining copper and fiber optic interfaces to extend network reach and ensure high-speed data throughput. We supply this unit in 100% Brand New original condition, guaranteeing factory-spec signal integrity for your mission-critical automation infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

The 1783-ETAP1F utilizes an embedded switch architecture to manage local traffic and maintain ring resiliency.

Engineering Advantages

• DLR Topology Integration: This module allows standard Ethernet devices to participate in a Device Level Ring. The integrated switch logic maintains the ring's continuity, ensuring that a single cable failure does not crash the entire network.

• Fiber Optic Extension: The dedicated fiber port eliminates distance limitations associated with traditional copper cabling. Fiber connectivity also provides total immunity against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in high-voltage environments.

• Advanced Network Isolation: Basic type insulation protects communication channels from power-side disturbances. The 30V continuous isolation prevents ground loops and electrical noise from migrating between network segments.

• Compact DIN-Rail Deployment: The lightweight, open-style design minimizes the footprint within the control cabinet. This allows for easy integration alongside existing PLC hardware and I/O modules without requiring major rack reconfigurations.

FAQs

• What is the primary function of the fiber port on the 1783-ETAP1F?

  The fiber port facilitates long-distance communication and provides high-speed galvanic isolation. It connects remote segments of an EtherNet/IP network where copper cabling would face excessive noise or distance-related signal degradation.

• Can I use this module to create a redundant ring with devices that don't support DLR?

  Yes. The 1783-ETAP1F acts as the interface. You connect your non-DLR device to the local port, while the other two ports form part of the DLR ring, effectively protecting that device's connection through the ring's inherent redundancy.

• What are the power requirements for this tap?

  The module requires a stable 24V DC power source within the 20.4V to 27.6V DC range. It consumes a maximum of 4.8 Watts, making it an energy-efficient addition to your control system.

• Is this a genuine Allen Bradley unit?

  Absolutely. We ship only 100% Brand New original 1783-ETAP1F units in their factory-sealed packaging. This ensures you receive the latest hardware revision and full compliance with industrial Ethernet standards.
