Allen-Bradley 5069-AEN2TR – Dual-Port EtherNet/IP Adapter Module | CompactLogix 5069 Platform
Engineering Background
The 5069-AEN2TR is a high-performance EtherNet/IP adapter module designed by Rockwell Automation for the CompactLogix 5069 control platform. It enables seamless integration of distributed I/O into EtherNet/IP networks, supporting Device Level Ring (DLR) topology for fault-tolerant, high-availability industrial applications.
Product Positioning
Engineered for procurement engineers and system integrators who demand deterministic communication, network resilience, and simplified wiring in process control, discrete manufacturing, and motion-critical environments. The 5069-AEN2TR bridges field-level I/O with supervisory control systems across a single, unified EtherNet/IP backbone.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 5069-AEN2TR mounts directly onto the 5069 expansion I/O bank. The adapter communicates upstream to a CompactLogix or ControlLogix controller via EtherNet/IP using Class 1 (I/O) and Class 3 (explicit messaging) connections. In a DLR ring, the two RJ-45 ports connect to adjacent ring nodes; the integrated ring supervisor manages topology changes transparently. Downstream, the adapter manages the 5069 backplane, polling each I/O module at the configured RPI (Requested Packet Interval, minimum 1 ms).
Typical Signal Flow: Field Sensors/Actuators → 5069 I/O Modules → 5069-AEN2TR Backplane → EtherNet/IP DLR Ring → CompactLogix/ControlLogix Controller → Studio 5000 / FactoryTalk

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 5069-AEN2TR compatible with ControlLogix controllers?
A: Yes. The adapter communicates over standard EtherNet/IP and is fully compatible with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and GuardLogix controllers running Studio 5000 v21+.
Q: What is the minimum RPI supported?
A: The minimum Requested Packet Interval (RPI) is 1 ms, suitable for high-speed discrete and motion-adjacent applications.
Q: Can I use this adapter without a DLR ring?
A: Yes. The 5069-AEN2TR operates in standard linear or star topology; DLR is optional and activated by configuration in Studio 5000.
Q: How many I/O points can this adapter handle?
A: Up to 16 × 5069 I/O modules per adapter. Total I/O point count depends on the specific I/O module mix selected.
Q: Is firmware upgrade supported in the field?
A: Yes, via Rockwell’s ControlFLASH or ControlFLASH Plus utility over the EtherNet/IP network connection.
