Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following models are functionally equivalent or serve as direct replacements for the 5069-AENTR in specific system configurations. Always verify firmware compatibility and I/O bank slot count before substituting.
- 1734-AENTR – POINT I/O EtherNet/IP adapter with DLR; suitable for smaller remote I/O banks (not Compact 5000 form factor)
- 1756-EN2TR – ControlLogix EtherNet/IP bridge module with DLR; used when migrating to a ControlLogix backplane architecture
- 1769-L30ER / 1769-L33ER – CompactLogix controllers with built-in EtherNet/IP; can replace a standalone adapter + controller combination in smaller applications
- 5069-AEN2TR – Dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter for Compact 5000 I/O with extended diagnostics; direct next-generation equivalent with enhanced features
- Third-party EtherNet/IP adapters – Moxa, Hilscher, and HMS Anybus gateways can bridge non-AB I/O to EtherNet/IP networks; consult compatibility matrices before deployment
Note: Konmask stocks both new and refurbished units. Contact us to confirm current availability and lead times.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Native Rockwell Integration: Full Studio 5000 Logix Designer support with auto-discovery and EDS-based configuration — no manual mapping required.
- DLR Fault Tolerance: Device Level Ring topology provides network redundancy; a single cable break does not interrupt I/O communication.
- Scalability: Supports up to 31 I/O modules per bank, making it suitable for both compact and large remote I/O installations.
- Diagnostics: Integrated web server and RSLinx Classic / FactoryTalk diagnostics for real-time network health monitoring.
- Long Product Lifecycle: Rockwell Automation’s Compact 5000 platform is a current-generation product with active support and firmware updates.
Typical Applications
- Remote I/O expansion for CompactLogix 5380 / 5480 systems over EtherNet/IP
- Machine-level distributed I/O in automotive assembly lines
- Conveyor and material handling systems requiring DLR ring redundancy
- Food & beverage processing with washdown-rated I/O modules on the same bank
- Water/wastewater SCADA remote terminal units (RTUs)
- Panel-builder OEM skids requiring standardized Rockwell I/O architecture
System Compatibility
- Controllers: CompactLogix 5380 (5069-L3xxER), CompactLogix 5480 (5069-L4xxx), ControlLogix 5580 (1756-L8x) via EtherNet/IP scanner
- Software: Studio 5000 Logix Designer v28.00 or later; RSLogix 5000 v20+ (limited)
- I/O Modules: All Compact 5000 I/O modules (5069-IB16, 5069-OB16, 5069-IF8, 5069-OF8, etc.)
- Network Infrastructure: Standard managed/unmanaged Ethernet switches; Stratix 5400/5700 recommended for DLR
- Not Compatible With: Compact 5000 local I/O banks (requires 5069-L3xxER built-in adapter); 1769 CompactLogix local bus
Selection Guide
Use the decision matrix below to determine whether the 5069-AENTR is the right adapter for your application:
- Need DLR ring redundancy? → 5069-AENTR ✓ (dual-port DLR) | 5069-AEN2TR ✓ (enhanced diagnostics)
- Using Compact 5000 I/O modules? → 5069-AENTR ✓ | 1734-AENTR ✗ (POINT I/O only)
- Budget-sensitive / refurbished acceptable? → Konmask stocks certified refurbished 5069-AENTR units
- Need extended temperature range (−25 °C)? → Specify 5069-AENTRXT (XT variant)
- Migrating from 1769 CompactLogix? → Evaluate 5069-L3xxER (controller with built-in adapter) as a consolidated alternative
- OEM / high-volume order (>10 units)? → Contact Konmask for volume pricing and lead-time commitment

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the 5069-AENTR replace a 1734-AENTR directly?
A: No. The 5069-AENTR is designed for Compact 5000 I/O modules, while the 1734-AENTR is for POINT I/O. They use different module form factors and backplane connectors.
Q: Is the 5069-AENTR compatible with older RSLogix 5000 software?
A: Partial support exists from v20 onward, but full feature support (including DLR diagnostics) requires Studio 5000 Logix Designer v28 or later.
Q: What is the difference between 5069-AENTR and 5069-AEN2TR?
A: The 5069-AEN2TR is the next-generation variant with enhanced network diagnostics, CIP Security support, and improved web server interface. Both support DLR and are physically interchangeable in most installations.
Q: Can I use a third-party EtherNet/IP adapter with Compact 5000 I/O?
A: No. Compact 5000 I/O modules require a Rockwell-native adapter (5069-AENTR or 5069-AEN2TR) due to proprietary backplane communication.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. CoC and test reports are available upon request for all orders.
