Allen-Bradley 1788-DNBO Discontinued FlexLogix DeviceNet communications module | RFQ
Allen-Bradley 1788-DNBO — discontinued FlexLogix DeviceNet communications module
The Allen-Bradley 1788-DNBO is a manufacturer-designated discontinued industrial component relevant to service of older automation installations. Its original role is deviceNet networking interface for legacy FlexLogix controllers. Owners of established production machinery may need to match the exact catalog code when replacing a failed unit, keeping an installed spare on hand, or diagnosing a field issue. Corwin Solutions offers a request-for-quote sourcing workflow rather than representing these items as stocked, immediately available, or factory new. Procurement can depend on surplus inventory, independent distributors, tested used units, or specialist refurbishment channels, each with different risk and price considerations.
Technical Details and Product Specifications
- Manufacturer: Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation
- Part number: 1788-DNBO
- Original component name: FlexLogix DeviceNet communications module
- Lifecycle status: Discontinued
- Rockwell discontinuation date: 2016-12-31
- Replacement classification: No planned RA replacement
- Technical identification: DeviceNet networking interface for legacy FlexLogix controllers
- System family: Legacy Rockwell automation
- Procurement status: RFQ only; condition, price and supplier inventory unconfirmed
Original Equipment and Industrial Applications
This unit is of interest to maintenance engineers, system integrators, spare-parts buyers, OEM service teams, and plant personnel working with legacy control hardware. The application depends on the exact model and original platform: DeviceNet networking interface for legacy FlexLogix controllers. Typical inquiries arise from controls upgrades being postponed, machine downtime, spare-part standardization, or the need to maintain a validated controller environment while a more comprehensive migration is being planned. Review the original installation manual, associated hardware series, firmware, wiring diagram, network settings, and bill of materials rather than selecting a substitute by visual similarity. Particular attention is needed on older networks, since a new communications module may not communicate without changing the controller project or topology.
Discontinued Lifecycle and Independent-Market Sourcing
Rockwell Automation identifies catalog 1788-DNBO as discontinued. The manufacturer record gives the date as 2016-12-31 and indicates the following replacement situation: No planned RA replacement. Where there is no planned Rockwell replacement, migration or alternate sourcing may be required. An engineering replacement should not be assumed to fit in the same slot or operate without configuration, firmware, wiring, validation, or software work. Sourcing a used or new-old-stock replacement can reduce changeover work when it is compatible, but this should be balanced with component condition, service-life expectations and supplier provenance. A completed RFQ should confirm whether the offered unit has been inspected, what functional testing is documented, whether accessories are included, and any applicable warranty and returns terms.
Compatibility, Identification, and Replacement Notes
Before ordering, identify the complete 1788-DNBO catalog number, hardware series, firmware level, existing base or chassis, network protocol, power and I/O requirements, and field termination details. For controller modules, a working software backup, appropriate programming tools and site authorization may be necessary. For a communications component, verify both ends of the network as well as addressing, physical media and intended protocol. For output devices, check external loads, contact rating, isolation and safety design. Part families can contain visually similar products with incompatible characteristics. Qualified technical staff should confirm replacement suitability and commission the equipment after installation. A listing does not certify that a part is interchangeable with another model.
Request a Quote — Corwin Solutions
Send your full original part number 1788-DNBO, required quantity, delivery destination, expected lead time, acceptable conditions such as new-old-stock or tested used, and any mandatory series or firmware revisions. A photograph of the installed device or nameplate and details of the intended machine can be helpful. Corwin Solutions can investigate independent sourcing and then quote based on confirmed supplier stock, cost, inspection records, packaging, transportation, and commercial terms. No inventory, lead time, purchase price, warranty or margin is asserted until a written quotation has been issued. Contact Corwin Solutions with your RFQ to start a part-specific availability check.
