Description

Allen-Bradley 1756-IB16 is a ControlLogix digital input module designed to interface field signal devices with ControlLogix system controllers. The 1756-IB16 provides 16 sink input points operating within a voltage range of 10 to 31.2V DC (24V DC nominal). It features 250V continuous reinforced insulation from inputs to backplane and basic insulation between input groups. Designed for single-slot mounting, the module processes field signal states with software-configurable input delay filters and timestamping capabilities.

Features

  • 16 digital input points configured in 2 groups of 8 points.
  • Operating voltage range of 10 to 31.2V DC with 24V DC nominal rating.
  • Software-configurable input delay times for Off-to-On and On-to-Off state transitions.
  • Time stamp of inputs precise to within +/-200 us.
  • Electronic, software-configurable module keying.
  • Removable Terminal Block (RTB) housing with user-defined mechanical keying.
  • Reverse polarity protection.

Applications

  • Digital field signal interface in ControlLogix PLC systems.
  • Industrial sensor, proximity switch, and limit switch monitoring.
  • Discrete state monitoring in factory automation and process control networks.
  • High-reliability DC input processing in hazardous locations.

Installation Guidelines

  • Chassis Alignment: Insert the module into any available slot of a ControlLogix chassis, ensuring full connection with the backplane logic board.
  • Mechanical Keying: Preset mechanical keying tabs on the 1756-TBNH or 1756-TBSH Removable Terminal Block to align with the module slots to prevent mis-wiring during module replacement.
  • Field Wiring Torque: Secure signal conductor wire terminations to the terminal block screws applying a specified torque of 1.36 N-m (12 lb-in).
  • Wiring Separation: Follow Category 1 conductor routing guidelines to ensure proper spacing between high-voltage lines and signal conductors.
