Two onboard Ethernet ports support Device Level Ring (DLR) topology, letting the node act as a ring participant without requiring an external switch at its physical location — useful for distributed Compact 5000 nodes spread across a machine or production line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5069-AENTR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact 5000 (5069)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNetwork Protocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEtherNet\/IP (CIP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet Ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × RJ-45, 10\/100 Mbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTopology Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinear, Star, Device Level Ring (DLR)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\/O Messaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass 1 cyclic, Class 3 \/ UCMM explicit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Address Assignment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBOOTP, DHCP, or static\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocal I\/O Bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5069 DIN-rail expansion bus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0°C to 60°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEtherNet\/IP conformance tested, UL 508, CE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Second Port Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single-port adapter requires a switch at every node location if the system needs ring redundancy or simple daisy-chaining without extra switch hardware. The 5069-AENTR's two ports let the node sit directly in a DLR ring — cable in one port, cable out the other, continuing to the next device in the chain. If a cable segment between two nodes fails, the ring supervisor reroutes traffic through the opposite direction automatically, keeping the rest of the nodes online while the fault is located and repaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor machines with several distributed Compact 5000 I\/O nodes — along a conveyor line, across a multi-station assembly cell — this collapses what would otherwise be individual home-run cables to a central switch into one continuous cable path, cutting both cable length and the number of switch ports needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNode Setup and Network Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet a static IP address before connecting to the production network — default BOOTP assignment can shift after a power cycle on networks without a permanent BOOTP server mapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd the adapter to the controller's I\/O tree in the engineering software, then add each physically installed 5069 I\/O module in the correct slot order — a mismatch between configured and physical module types causes a fault on that slot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor DLR participation, a ring supervisor (the controller's own EtherNet\/IP module, if capable, or a managed switch at the ring head) must be configured separately — the adapter itself participates as a ring node but doesn't manage the ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocument the node's IP address and physical location together — distributed I\/O nodes without clear documentation are harder to troubleshoot when a network issue arises on an unfamiliar machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can both ports be connected to different network segments simultaneously?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo. Both ports share one IP address and function as a two-port switch within the module — they're on the same network segment, not bridging two separate ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this adapter required for every 5069 I\/O bank, or only for remote installations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eAn adapter is required at the head of any 5069 I\/O bank that connects over EtherNet\/IP, whether local to the controller or in a remote location.
