Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-IA16 is a 16-point AC digital input module designed for use with the SLC 500 programmable logic controller (PLC) system. This module provides a reliable interface between field-side AC input devices and the processor, converting high-voltage AC signals into logic-level signals compatible with the SLC 500 backplane. It is engineered for industrial environments requiring consistent monitoring of AC-powered sensors, switches, and pushbuttons.

Features

  • 16 isolated input points for flexible wiring and signal segregation.
  • Operating voltage range of 85-132 VAC at 47-63 Hz.
  • Designed for seamless integration into the SLC 500 I/O chassis.
  • Status indicators on the front panel for real-time monitoring of input signal states.
  • Robust construction suitable for standard industrial control cabinets.

Applications

This module is typically utilized in manufacturing and process control systems where AC-based field devices are present. Common applications include monitoring limit switches, proximity sensors, and operator interface buttons within an SLC 500 control architecture.
