FAQ
FAQ
Q1: What is the Allen-Bradley 1788-CN2PAR used for?
A: It provides a communication gateway between a ControlNet network and PROFIBUS PA field devices, allowing Logix-based control systems to communicate with process instrumentation.
Q2: What does the “R” in 1788-CN2PAR mean?
A: It identifies the redundant ControlNet version, which supports redundant ControlNet network connections.
Q3: Which communication protocols does it support?
A: It supports ControlNet on the controller side and PROFIBUS PA on the field-device side.
Q4: What power supply does the 1788-CN2PAR require?
A: It requires an external 24–32 V DC supply, rated at 0.75 A. It also supports PROFIBUS PA trunk power.
Q5: How many PROFIBUS PA devices can it connect?
A: The supported number depends on the network configuration, fieldbus current consumption, cable length, and power budget. Check the network design documentation before determining the maximum device count.
Q6: What is its operating temperature range?
A: The specified operating temperature range is 0 to +60°C (32 to +140°F).
Q7: Is the 1788-CN2PAR discontinued?
A: Yes. Rockwell Automation identifies the legacy 1788-CN2PAR as End of Life effective November 1, 2021. The recommended replacement is the Aparian A-PAL/B.
Q8: What are the dimensions and weight for shipping?
A: Distributor information lists approximately 152 × 80 × 136 mm and 0.57 kg net weight. These figures should be treated as reference values; confirm actual packaging dimensions and gross weight before arranging international freight.
