1756-IB16 Advantages
The Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module stands out from comparable discrete input modules in several key areas.
High‑density 16‑point DC sinking input design. The Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module provides 16 DC sinking input channels within one ControlLogix slot, the Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module saves valuable cabinet rack space for multi‑signal acquisition applications.
User‑configurable input filter function. The Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module supports multiple selectable filter time settings, the Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module suppresses field electrical noise and contact bounce for stable signal reading.
Group‑based electrical isolation. The Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module provides 250V continuous isolation between two input groups and ControlLogix backplane, the Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module reduces interference propagation from field DC circuits to PLC internal circuitry.
Channel‑by‑channel LED status indication. The Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module features individual LED indicators for every input channel, technicians can quickly check on‑off status of each connected field device of the Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module without additional measuring instruments.
Native ControlLogix backplane integration. As a factory‑original I/O module of Allen‑Bradley 1756 series, the Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IB16 Digital PLC Input Module directly plugs into 1756 chassis and works with 20‑pin removable terminal blocks, configured via RSLogix 5000 software without conversion adapters.
