Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-IV32 is a high-density sink/source DC input module designed for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 modular hardware system. Engineered for applications where panel space is at a premium, this module provides 32 current-sourcing digital inputs operating within a 24VDC nominal voltage category. It is an ideal solution for industrial automation environments requiring reliable discrete signal monitoring across multiple channels.

This module features a 40-pin MIL-C-83503 type header designed to connect easily with removable wiring connectors or pre-wired Bulletin 1492 interface solutions. Its compact high-density architecture helps reduce overall enclosure footprints while maintaining robust performance standards across standard industrial temperature ranges.

Features

  • 32 digital input channels configured for 24VDC current-sourcing operation
  • High-density design engineered specifically for SLC 500 system racks
  • Equipped with a 40-pin MIL-C-83503 type header for flexible wiring options
  • Compatible with Bulletin 1492 pre-wired interface modules and cables
  • Low backplane current draw of 50mA at 5VDC
  • Fast signal response times with a maximum of 3ms for both ON and OFF transitions

Applications

  • Discrete manufacturing and assembly lines
  • Process control and monitoring systems
  • Machine tool automation
  • Material handling and conveyor systems
