Information About 1746-FIO4I

The 1746-FIO4I is part of the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 product family, combining analog input and output functionality in a single module for efficient use of limited chassis slots. It features two differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution and two analog outputs with 14-bit resolution, using successive approximation conversion for inputs and an R–2R ladder for outputs. With fast input response (7.5 µs conversion time every 512 µs) and a 100 µs step response, it is well-suited for capturing rapidly changing signals. This module consumes 55 mA from the 5V backplane and 150 mA from the 24V backplane, and is compatible with both fixed and modular SLC 500 systems. The 1746-FIO4I offers input accuracy of ±0.440% at 25 °C and ±0.750% at 60 °C, while its outputs achieve ±0.298% accuracy at 25 °C and ±0.541% across the full operating range. Designed with shielded cabling recommendations (Belden #8761), it ensures reliable performance in industrial automation.

Key Features:

  • Module type: Fast analog combination module providing both input and output functions in one slot.
  • Inputs: Two differential channels configurable for 0–10V DC or 0–20 mA current, with 12-bit resolution.
  • Outputs: Two analog channels rated for 0–20 mA, using 14-bit R–2R ladder conversion for precise output control.
  • Conversion speed: Input conversion time of 7.5 µs every 512 µs with track-and-hold time of 1.5 µs, enabling fast response to signal changes.
  • Accuracy: Input accuracy ±0.440% of full scale at 25 °C and ±0.750% at 60 °C; output accuracy ±0.298% at 25 °C and ±0.541% across 0–60 °C.
  • Bandwidth: 7 kHz input bandwidth supports high-speed data acquisition.
  • Backplane current: Draws 55 mA at 5V DC and 150 mA at 24V DC from the chassis.
  • Expansion compatibility: Works with both fixed (1747-L20, L30, L40) and modular style SLC 500 controllers, alongside multiple I/O modules.
  • Step response: Achieves 100 µs response for fast analog output changes.
  • Wiring: Supports shielded Belden #8761 cable with up to 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) wire size for noise-resistant signal transmission.

The 1746-FIO4I delivers the reliability and precision required for high-speed analog input/output processing in Allen-Bradley SLC 500 automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1746-FIO4I
Question: What is the main function of the 1746-FIO4I module?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

The 1746-FIO4I is a fast analog I/O module designed for the SLC 500 system. It combines two differential analog input channels and two current output channels in a single module. This integration allows for compact installation while supporting both monitoring and control tasks. It is ideal for applications that require real-time analog signal processing.

Question: Is the module compatible with all SLC 500 systems?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1746-FIO4I is compatible with both fixed and modular SLC 500 hardware. It can be used alongside various I/O modules like 1746-IA8, -IB16, -OB8, -NO4I, and others. This compatibility makes it suitable for system expansions or upgrades. It occupies a single slot in the chassis, saving space.

Question: Does the 1746-FIO4I have electrical isolation?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, it provides 500V DC isolation between the backplane and the I/O channels. This helps protect the system from electrical interference or voltage spikes. Isolation improves the overall reliability and safety of the control system. It’s a key feature for analog modules working in noisy environments.

Question: What types of signals does the 1746-FIO4I accept and produce?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

The analog inputs can handle either 0–10 VDC voltage or 0–20 mA current signals. The outputs are 0–20 mA current signals with a full-scale output of 21 mA and up to 5% overrange. This versatility allows the module to interface with a wide range of analog sensors and actuators. The signal types can be selected per channel, offering configuration flexibility.

Question: Is the 1746-FIO4I still manufactured by Rockwell Automation?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

As of the latest product lifecycle information, the 1746-FIO4I is listed as a legacy product and may be discontinued. However, it is still available through surplus suppliers and refurbishers. Users planning new projects are encouraged to explore CompactLogix or ControlLogix systems. Check the official Rockwell Automation website for the most up-to-date lifecycle status.
