1746-IB16

The Allen-Bradley 1746-IB16 is a medium density DC input module that is used to interface with signal devices that delivers a signal voltage range of 10-30VDC towards each of the input channel of the module. This module features Sixteen (16) input channels, rated for nominal input voltage of 24VDC, grouped into One (1) input group, having a single common terminal. This input module is mounted to any available I/O slot of the 1746-Chassis and draws backplane current of 0.05 A @ 5VDC.

The 1746-IB16 supports sinking wiring configuration only. It cab used to interface with electrical components such as switches including limit, proximity, pushbutton devices as well as auxiliary contacts of relays, contactors and other electronic devices. Each of the input channels of the 1746-IB16 exhibits a common signal delay duration of 8 ms for both On and OFF transitions, with maximum OFF-state voltage of 5VDC and maximum OFF-state current of 1 mA while the module’s nominal input current is 8 mA @ 24VDC.

The number of installation instances of the 1746-IB16 varies according to the SLC500 CPU installed. Specifically, depending on the number of I/O supported by the CPU memory. This module may also be installed locally, along the rack where the SLC 500 CPU is installed or in a Distribute I/O chassis, along a 1746 Communication adapter such as Remote I/O (RIO) and Ethernet adapter modules. This module comes with status LED indicators that provided indications to the actuation of each of the input channels for simplified monitoring and troubleshooting. It also has a Removable Terminal Block that enables ease of termination and module replacement.

The 1746-IB16 has a maximum signal delay time of 8ms for both ON and OFF transitions while the module’s maximum drop voltage of 5V DC in the OFF state. It has a maximum leakage current of 1mA and has a nominal input current of 8mA at 24V DC across the entire module.

The 1746-IB16 has a net heat dissipation of 0.22W on each input point and a total heat dissipation on the entire module is 3.6W. Its operating temperature ranges between 0 and 60 °C (32 and 140 °F) in a surrounding with 5-95% relative humidity, and when not in use, should be stored at a temperature range between -40 and 85 °C (-40 and 185 °F). The 1746-IB16 has a tested operational shock rating of 30G and is designed to withstand an operational vibration of 2.5G at 57-200 Hz operational frequency. It has a NEMA standard ICS 2-230 rated noise immunity and is UL-A196, CSA, and C-UL Class I, Division 2 Hazardous Environment-rated. It offers Electro-optical isolation tested at 1500V, between input terminals and control logic, and is UL, CSA, and CE-certified.

The Allen-Bradley 1746-IB16 is a SLC 500 Digital DC Input Module. This Digital DC Input Module has a Voltage Range of 10-30 Volts DC Sink and 16 Inputs with a Backplane Current (5 Volts DC) of 85 milliamps.
