The 1794-IM8 is a robust 240V AC digital input module from the Allen-Bradley Flex I/O family. This module reliably monitors eight nonisolated inputs within your industrial control system. It provides a direct interface for high-voltage AC signals from field devices. Engineers trust this module for its proven performance in demanding environments. The module operates with a nominal on-state voltage of 240V AC.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers value the 1794-IM8 for its specific technical alignment with high-voltage AC applications. This module handles an on-state current maximum of 13.21 mA. It also features a nominal input impedance of 22.3 kΩ. This specification makes it ideal for direct connection to 240V AC sensors and limit switches. The module requires a 1794-TBN terminal base unit for operation. You must install external fuses to protect the module from overcurrent damage. This unit is approved for use in hazardous locations. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. The compact size of 94 x 94 x 91 millimeters simplifies panel layout planning.
User & Installation Guide
Proper installation of the 1794-IM8 module ensures reliable long-term operation. First, mount the 1794-TBN terminal base on a DIN rail or panel. Then, securely insert the module into the base until it locks. The module will not function until the flex bus is fully connected. You must connect all wiring using the dedicated labels on the terminal base. Each of the eight inputs is individually insulated for channel integrity. Ensure the incoming AC power supply is de-energized before wiring. The module draws a flexbus current of 30mA at 5V DC. Use a startup current limited to 10A to prevent damage. The module has 8 key switch positions for configuration.
