Description
Allen-Bradley 1746-NIO4V 2-channel voltage output analog combination module
Product Dimensions:
The Allen-Bradley 1746-NIO4V is a versatile analog combination module designed for the SLC 500 modular hardware platform. It offers a compact solution by providing both input and output capabilities on a single card, which is ideal for systems with limited rack space.
1. Product Description
The 1746-NIO4V belongs to the SLC 500 family of I/O modules. It features two analog input channels and two analog voltage output channels.
-
Inputs: Designed to receive signals from sensors like pressure transducers or flow meters.
-
Outputs: Specifically designed to provide voltage-based signals to control devices such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) or valves.
2. Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
| Number of Inputs | 2 Differential Channels |
| Number of Outputs | 2 Voltage Channels |
| Backplane Current (5V DC) | 55 mA |
| Backplane Current (24V DC) | 115 mA |
| Input Range | -10V to +10V DC; -20mA to +20mA |
| Output Range | -10V to +10V DC (Voltage only) |
| Resolution | 14-bit |
| Step Response | 60 ms (for a 95% step change) |
| Isolation | 500V DC (between field and backplane) |
3. Key Advantages
-
Space Efficiency: By combining inputs and outputs into a single slot, it reduces the physical footprint of the PLC system.
-
High Resolution: The 14-bit resolution ensures precise control and monitoring, which is critical for fine-tuned industrial processes.
-
Configurability: Input channels can be independently configured for either voltage or current, allowing for mixed-sensor environments.
-
Reliability: Built with the rugged standards of the SLC 500 series, it is designed for long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.
4. Usage Considerations & Precautions
-
Voltage Output Only: Note the “V” in the part number—the outputs are voltage only. If you require current outputs (4-20mA), you would need the 1746-NIO4I model.
-
Proper Shielding: To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), always use shielded twisted-pair cables for analog signals and ground the shield at one end only.
-
Heat Dissipation: Ensure the PLC rack has adequate ventilation, as analog modules generate more heat than standard digital I/O.
-
Power Cycling: Always remove power from the SLC 500 chassis before inserting or removing the module to avoid damaging the backplane.
5. Typical Applications
The 1746-NIO4V is commonly used in applications requiring a feedback loop (PID control), such as:
-
Speed Control: Sending a -10V to +10V signal to a motor drive while receiving speed feedback.
-
Temperature Regulation: Controlling a heating valve based on a temperature sensor input.
-
Pressure Monitoring: Maintaining constant pressure in a hydraulic system by adjusting a proportional valve.
