Our ControlLogix® system uses connections to establish communication links between devices. Our Bulletin 1756 Chassis-based communication modules help make those connections and implement network-based access control for users, devices, and networks in the 1756 chassis. We offer a variety of modules that support EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, ControlNet, and other network protocols.
