Product Summary
The 1746-IM16 is a robust SLC 500 discrete AC input module from Allen-Bradley. It provides sixteen input channels for 170-265V AC signals. This module reliably interfaces high-voltage AC field devices with your control system. It fits any SLC 500 chassis for flexible installation.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This module offers a wide input voltage range of 170-265V AC. It operates at a frequency of 47-63 Hertz. Each channel draws a nominal input current of 12 milliamps. This design ensures compatibility with global 200-240V AC industrial systems. The module provides excellent noise immunity per NEMA ICS 2-230 standards.
Signal processing includes a 35ms delay for the ON state. The OFF state signal delay is 45ms. These delays filter out electrical noise effectively. They prevent false triggering from transient line spikes. This ensures stable and reliable input data for your processor.
The 1746-IM16 handles harsh electrical environments with ease. It withstands a maximum inrush current of 0.8 Amperes. This surge lasts for a maximum duration of 0.5 ms. The module also features a high off-state voltage rating of 30V AC. This prevents false readings from leakage currents.
Environmental tolerances are engineered for demanding factory floors. The module operates from 0 to +60 degrees Celsius. It functions in 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to +85°C. This allows for safe storage in extreme climates.
Physical robustness is a key design feature of this module. It withstands operational shock of 30G. It also sustains operating vibration of 2.5G at 57-200Hz. This reliability ensures continuous operation in high-vibration machinery. You can trust this module for critical control applications.
