Allen-Bradley 1771-ID 120VAC/DC Isolated Input Module
Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1771-ID delivers six individually isolated input channels for 120VAC or 120VDC signals. This module excels in multi-phase applications requiring clean signal detection from switches. Its robust design minimizes electrical noise and enhances system reliability.
Why Choose the 1771-ID for Your System?
This module solves a critical pain point for engineers: signal noise. Industrial environments produce electrical interference that can cause false readings. The 1771-ID uses input filtering to limit voltage transients. This direct feature reduces costly downtime and improves overall productivity.
Each channel operates independently with 1500V opto-electrical isolation. This design lets you connect different voltage sources on a single module. You can run one channel at 120VAC while another operates at 120VDC. This flexibility simplifies wiring and reduces the need for multiple modules.

Technical Procurement Guide
Procurement managers must verify key specifications before ordering. The module requires a 1771 I/O chassis and a 1771-WD field wiring arm. The unit occupies a single slot and draws 74 mA from the backplane. You must calculate total chassis load to prevent power supply overloads.
The operating voltage range is 92-138 VAC at 47-63 Hz. For DC applications, the range is also 92-138 VDC. Nominal input current sits at 8 mA for both AC and DC modes. The module dissipates between 0.4 and 4.4 Watts of power.
Use 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire for terminations. Ensure the insulation thickness does not exceed 3/64 of an inch. The wiring arm screw torque should be set to 7-9 inch-pounds. Always key the module between positions 4 and 6 and between 28 and 30.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Start by selecting an empty slot in your 1771 I/O chassis. Insert the 1771-ID module firmly until it seats correctly. Attach the 1771-WD wiring arm to the module’s front connector. Tighten the wiring arm screws to the specified torque range.
Connect field devices like limit switches or pushbuttons to the wiring arm. Each of the six inputs connects independently. The module accepts both AC and DC signals without configuration changes. The built-in filtering handles AC signal delays of 24 ms (±10) for ON and OFF transitions.
For DC signals, the ON delay is 10 ms (±4) and the OFF delay is 20 ms (±9). These delays reduce false triggers from contact bounce. The maximum off-state current is 1.7 mA, ensuring reliable OFF-state detection. Verify all connections before powering the system.
