What is the difference between a 1756-ENBT and a 1756-EN2T ?

Good Evening ,

We are getting ready to replace some machinery and the manufacture is planning on using a 1756-EN2T . What is the difference between the 1756-EN2T and the 1756-ENBT ?

Thanks so much for your help ,

The most important difference is probably that the older 1756-ENBT does not support Motion or Safety over EtherNet/IP.

The 1756-EN2T is newer, faster, and higher-capacity.

It's more or less backward compatible with the 1756-ENBT, if you disable electronic keying and aren't doing something fancy like Redundancy.

The 1756-EN2T and 1756-EN3T also have Fiber variants (-EN2F), and Device-Level Ring variants (-EN2TR). The -EN2x and -EN3x have the same I/O capacity, but the "3" supports more motion axes.

Thanks Mr. Roach .
