1783-ETAP Functional Description

The 1783-ETAP Allen Bradley IP Tap 3 copper ports is an industrial-grade embedded switch designed to enhance Ethernet/IP network connectivity in automation systems. This compact device features three copper ports that enable seamless integration of non-switch compatible devices into linear or ring network topologies. The 1783-ETAP 3 PORT ETHERNET/IP TAP Allen-Bradley operates on 20.4-27.6 VDC power with a modest 4.8-watt consumption, making it an energy-efficient solution for industrial networking applications. Its ability to function at speeds up to 100 Mbps in Device Level Ring (DLR) networks ensures reliable data transmission for critical automation processes.

As part of Rockwell Automation's Ethernet/IP built-in switch technology line, the Allen-Bradley 1783-ETAP simplifies network architecture by eliminating the need for external switches. The device requires only one port to be programmed as a ring supervisor, streamlining network configuration and reducing setup complexity. With its 200 mA current rating, it provides stable performance while maintaining low power consumption. The switch's robust design is particularly valuable in industrial environments where space constraints and power efficiency are important considerations for network infrastructure.

The Rockwell 1783-ETAP In Stock excels in creating flexible network topologies, allowing devices without native switch capabilities to participate in linear or ring networks. Its three-port configuration enables daisy-chaining of devices while maintaining network integrity. The 3 Port EtherNet/IP Tap AB 1783-ETAP is commonly used in conveyor systems, packaging lines, and other industrial applications where reliable device-level communication is essential. The switch's compatibility with standard Ethernet/IP protocols ensures seamless integration with existing Allen-Bradley control systems and other industrial automation components.

Designed for durability in harsh industrial environments, the Allen-Bradley 1783-ETAP 3 Port EtherNet provides a cost-effective solution for expanding network connectivity without compromising performance. Its compact form factor allows for easy installation in control panels with limited space. The switch's ability to maintain network stability even when adding non-switch devices makes it an invaluable component for modern industrial networks. Whether used in linear configurations or as part of redundant ring architectures, it delivers the reliability and performance expected from Rockwell Automation's networking product line.
