System role and ports
Rebuilt from individual evidence
Unknown: verification boundary
Rockwell Automation identifies 1756-EN2TR as a ControlLogix EtherNet/IP communication module with dual ports and Device Level Ring support.
It links the ControlLogix chassis to the EtherNet/IP network at the network edge through two 10/100 Mbps copper ports, with up to 128 TCP connections documented.
Unknown: network topology, firmware state and condition of an individual 1756-EN2TR unit.
