A-BPOINT I/O EtherNet/IP Adapter Catalog Number 1734-AENTInstallation Instructions

Wire the EtherNet/IP Adapter

WARNING If you connect or disconnect wiring while the 

field-side power is on, an electrical arc can occur. 

this could cause an explosion in hazardous location 

installations. 

Be sure that power is removed or the area is 

nonhazardous before proceeding.

Troubleshoot with the Indicators

Indication Probable Cause

System Power

Green System power on; dc-dc converter active (5V)

Field Power

Off Not active; field power is off

Green Power on; 24V present

Module Status

Off No power applied to device

Flashing Red/Green LED powerup test (module self-test)

Green Device is operating normally

Flashing Red Recoverable fault has occurred:

• Firmware (NVS) update

• Network IP Address changed

• CPU load exceeded

Solid Red Unrecoverable fault has occurred:

• Self-test failure (checksum failure, or ramtest failure at 

powerup)

en environnements dangereux:

Products marked “CL I, DIV 2, GP A, B, C, D” are 

suitable for use in Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, 

C, D, Hazardous Locations and nonhazardous 

locations only. Each product is supplied with 

markings on the rating nameplate indicating the 

hazardous location temperature code. When 

combining products within a system, the most 

adverse temperature code (lowest “T” number) 

may be used to help determine the overall 

temperature code of the system. Combinations of 

equipment in your system are subject to 

investigation by the local Authority Having 

Jurisdiction at the time of installation.
