Features:
- Bridge Between Industrial Ethernet Networks and Diagnostic Monitoring Equipment
- Integrates Copper and Fiber Connectivity with Passive Traffic Monitoring
- Functions Alongside Ethernet/IP Devices and Standard Network Infrastructure
The Allen-Bradley 1783-ETAP1F Ethernet Tap operates as a dedicated network access point in industrial Ethernet systems, providing reliable passive monitoring capabilities for all connected devices. It continuously facilitates non-intrusive data traffic observation between two copper ports (10/100 Mbps) and one single-mode fiber port without introducing latency or packet loss into the active network path. Seamless traffic mirroring is standard with the 1783-ETAP1F, however using its dedicated monitor ports allows network administrators to capture and analyze data streams in real-time without disrupting ongoing industrial communications. The 1783-ETAP1F has been engineered to address the critical need for visibility into Ethernet/IP networks while maintaining complete electrical isolation between network segments.
The 1783-ETAP1F provides essential monitoring functions common to industrial diagnostic applications, and is a critical component of the network visibility path, directly affecting the ability to troubleshoot, analyze, and maintain proper operation of the overall automation system. One 1783-ETAP1F Ethernet Tap is required per monitored network segment depending on the desired diagnostic coverage. The 1783-ETAP1F occupies minimal panel space with its compact open-style design and can be DIN-rail mounted for flexible installation in control cabinets.
For comprehensive network monitoring applications, the 1783-ETAP1F Ethernet Tap requires connection to standard Ethernet/IP devices on the copper ports while the fiber port enables extended distance connectivity to monitoring stations. In addition to standard passive tapping functionality, the 1783-ETAP1F maintains complete electrical isolation between power and network channels as well as between the network channels themselves. The 1783-ETAP1F isolation system operates using basic insulation rated for 30 volts continuous isolation voltage, ensuring safe operation in industrial environments. Using this method, the 1783-ETAP1F continually protects the integrity of both the monitored network and the monitoring equipment. If the system detects electrical anomalies or ground potential differences, the isolation barriers prevent fault propagation while maintaining uninterrupted network operation.
The 1783-ETAP1F Allen-Bradley Ethernet Tap may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
