The Allen-Bradley 1746-IO12DC is a combination digital I/O module designed for the SLC 500 programmable controller platform. This module integrates six 24V DC sinking inputs and six relay contact outputs into a single-slot footprint. By combining both input and output capabilities, it provides an efficient solution for small-scale control applications or distributed I/O systems, reducing the required chassis space and overall system cost.
This module is suitable for various industrial control tasks, including interfacing with DC-based proximity sensors, limit switches, and photoelectric sensors. The relay outputs allow for the direct control of AC motor starters, solenoid valves, and various DC-operated actuators, making it a versatile choice for compact machine control panels.

Yes, the 1746-IO12DC is designed for the standard SLC 500 chassis and occupies a single slot. Ensure your power supply has sufficient capacity to handle the backplane current requirements of the module.
Yes, the relay outputs are highly flexible and can handle AC loads from 5 to 265V and DC loads from 5 to 125V, provided the continuous current ratings are not exceeded.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
