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.
