Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16V is a high-density analog input module specifically engineered for the SLC 500 programmable controller platform. This module provides sixteen (16) single-ended voltage inputs, allowing for efficient data acquisition in applications requiring a high channel count. It is designed to interface directly with standard industrial voltage-based instrumentation, including pressure transducers, potentiometers, and various analytical sensors that provide DC voltage outputs.

Features

  • Sixteen voltage-type analog inputs configured in four groups of four channels each.
  • Utilizes Sigma-Delta conversion technology for precise 16-bit digital signal representation.
  • Programmable digital low-pass filtering with eight selectable frequencies ranging from 6 Hz to 250 Hz.
  • Adjustable step response times between 9 ms and 630 ms to balance signal stability against response speed.
  • Comprehensive support for common voltage ranges: +/-10V, 0-10V, 0-5V, and 1-5V DC.
  • Integrated 500V AC isolation for 1 second to protect backplane circuitry from field-side transients.

Installation Guidelines

  • Power must be removed from the SLC 500 backplane before installing or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
  • Ensure the module is fully seated in the chassis slot and the locking tabs are secured.
  • Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for all analog input signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Ground the cable shields at one end only to prevent ground loop currents.
  • Route signal wiring away from high-voltage AC lines or high-current DC power cables to maintain signal integrity.
  • Maintain proper ventilation in the control cabinet to ensure ambient temperatures remain within the 0 to 60 degC range.
