The Allen-Bradley 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN is a 10-port managed industrial Ethernet switch from the ArmorStratix 5700 family. It is developed for industrial environments where network connectivity, device-level communication, and Ethernet-based control systems must operate together.
The switch combines four M12 D-code Fast Ethernet ports, two M12 X-code Gigabit Ethernet ports, and four PoE-capable Fast Ethernet ports. This configuration supports connections to industrial controllers, distributed I/O equipment, network-enabled sensors, and other automation devices.
Unlike basic unmanaged switches, the 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN supports advanced network management functions. Its full firmware configuration includes Network Address Translation (NAT), Device Level Ring (DLR), and CIP Sync based on IEEE 1588. These functions make it suitable for applications involving distributed machine networks, synchronized control devices, and industrial network segmentation.
The M12 connector arrangement supports industrial Ethernet connections where secure mechanical connections are required. Its combination of copper Ethernet, Gigabit communication, PoE connectivity, and managed network functions makes it suitable for machine-level and distributed automation installations.

The 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN operates as a managed industrial Ethernet switch. It receives Ethernet frames from connected devices, processes network information, and forwards traffic according to its configured switching and network management functions.
The four M12 D-code Fast Ethernet ports support 10/100 Mbps communication. These connections can be used for industrial controllers, distributed I/O devices, and other compatible Ethernet equipment.
The two M12 X-code Gigabit Ethernet ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps communication. They provide higher-speed network connections for compatible industrial devices and network infrastructure.
The four PoE ports support IEEE 802.3af, allowing compatible powered devices to receive electrical power through their Ethernet connections. This can reduce the need for separate power connections at supported network endpoints.
NAT functionality allows the switch to manage communication between different IP address spaces. In machine automation, this can help separate equipment-level networks from the plant network and reduce IP address conflicts.
DLR support allows compatible devices to participate in a ring-based Ethernet topology. If a network connection is interrupted, the ring recovery mechanism can help restore communication through the remaining network path.
CIP Sync uses IEEE 1588 time synchronization to coordinate compatible devices across an EtherNet/IP network. This is particularly relevant to applications requiring consistent timestamps and coordinated control operations.
A typical communication arrangement is:
PLC / Distributed I/O / PoE Devices → 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN → Industrial Ethernet Network → Supervisory Control System
The switch handles network communication and management, while connected controllers and automation devices execute their assigned control functions.
The 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN serves as a managed network distribution device within the ArmorStratix 5700 industrial Ethernet architecture.
Its combination of Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and PoE interfaces allows different types of industrial equipment to communicate through one managed switching platform.
NAT can be used when connecting machine-level networks with plant-level infrastructure. DLR provides support for compatible ring network arrangements, while CIP Sync helps coordinate time-sensitive communication between supported automation devices.
A typical network arrangement is:
ControlLogix / CompactLogix Controller → 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN → Distributed I/O / PoE Devices / Industrial Ethernet Network

Both models have a ten-port configuration with four M12 D-code Fast Ethernet ports, two M12 X-code Gigabit Ethernet ports, and four PoE ports. The main difference is that the 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGN includes NAT functionality, while the 1783-ZMS4T4E2TGP does not list NAT support.
NAT allows devices on different IP address spaces to communicate through address translation. This is useful when multiple machines use overlapping IP addresses or when machine-level networks need to communicate with a plant-level network without changing every device address.
Yes. The switch supports DLR functionality, allowing it to participate in compatible EtherNet/IP ring network arrangements. The ring topology and supervisor configuration must be established according to the connected equipment and network design.
Connected devices must support IEEE 802.3af PoE, and the available PoE power budget must be considered during system planning. The switch has a specified maximum PoE power capacity of 62 W, so the combined demand of connected powered devices should remain within this limit.
