Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-IV8 is a modular DC input module designed for the SLC 500 programmable controller platform. It functions as an interface between field-side digital devices and the processor backplane, converting 24VDC current sourcing input signals into internal logic levels for execution within the control program. This discrete I/O module occupies a single slot in the SLC 500 chassis, integrating seamlessly into local or distributed I/O configurations.

The module features eight input points arranged in a single group, providing high-density signal acquisition for industrial automation tasks. Front-panel LED indicators display the real-time status of each individual I/O point, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly diagnose field wiring and signal state. Self-lifting pressure plate terminals accommodate secure wiring connections, supporting up to two 14 AWG wires per terminal to ensure robust mechanical and electrical integrity in high-vibration environments.

Features

Eight discrete current sourcing input points operating at 24VDC nominal voltage
Operating voltage range of 10 to 30VDC to accommodate fluctuating industrial power supplies
Backplane current draw of 50mA from the 5VDC rail and 0mA from the 24VDC rail
Maximum off-state voltage of 5VDC and maximum off-state current of 1mA for reliable noise immunity
Nominal input current of 8mA at 24VDC with a maximum signal delay of 8ms for both ON and OFF transitions
Front-panel status indicators providing clear visual feedback for each I/O channel

Applications

Discrete sensor signal processing from photoelectric switches, inductive proximity sensors, and limit switches
Status monitoring of industrial pushbuttons, selector switches, and auxiliary relay contacts
Interface telemetry for machine safety interlocks and run permissive chains
Data acquisition for local control panels and discrete manufacturing machinery
