The FLEX I/O EtherNet/IP communications adapter (1794-AENT) enables industrial control systems designers to combine the benefits of highly popular FLEX I/O with EtherNet/IP, an open, interoperable network.

FLEX I/O is a cost effective, flexible, modular I/O system for distributed applications and offers all the functions of larger rack-based I/O without the space requirements. You can independently select the I/O type, termination, and network. All this, and its outstanding reliability, is why millions of modules have been sold.

FLEX I/O eliminates multiple long wiring runs, reduces terminations per point, and decreases engineering and installation costs. FLEX I/O complements our Logix platforms and also acts as local I/O for FlexLogix™ controller. Nearly 90 catalog numbers and a wide breadth of specialty modules make it a perfect fit for
hundreds of applications.
