Information About 1746-IN16

The 1746-IN16 is part of the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 product family, designed to deliver stable AC/DC input handling for a wide range of control applications. Constructed as a compact single-slot module, it includes built-in LED indicators for each channel, allowing operators to visually verify input status and simplify troubleshooting. It integrates seamlessly with SLC 500 local or expansion chassis and supports standard 1746 I/O connection accessories. Used commonly in machine control, relay monitoring, and general digital sensing tasks, the module employs solid-state input processing with defined signal delays for both AC and DC operation.

Key Features:

  • Sixteen input channels: Supports 24 VAC/VDC sinking inputs for broad device compatibility.
  • LED status indicators: Provides per-channel visual diagnostics for easy troubleshooting.
  • Single-slot design: Fits any SLC 500 chassis slot except reserved processor positions.
  • Defined signal timing: 15 ms delay for DC inputs and 25 ms for AC inputs.
  • Standard wiring interfaces: Compatible with 1746-HT and 1746-HCA connection hardware.
  • Low power consumption: Requires only 85 mA at 5 VDC from the backplane.
  • Robust construction: Designed for general-purpose industrial environments.

The 1746-IN16 delivers the reliability and precision required for SLC 500 discrete input monitoring applications.

    Frequently Asked Questions about 1746-IN16
    Question: What is the function of the 1746-IN16 module?
    Date Update:23/06/2025
    Answer:

    The 1746-IN16 is a digital input module used with SLC 500 systems. It detects the on/off status of external 24V AC or DC input devices. These signals are sent to the controller for processing and decision-making. The module helps automate and monitor field devices like sensors and switches.

    Question: How is the 1746-IN16 mounted?
    Date Update:23/06/2025
    Answer:

    The 1746-IN16 is mounted in a single slot of an SLC 500 chassis. It connects through a backplane bus using its male connectors. The module can be installed in either the local rack or an expansion rack. No special tools are needed for mounting.

    Question: What software is used for Allen-Bradley SLC 500?
    Date Update:23/06/2025
    Answer:

    Allen-Bradley SLC 500 PLCs are programmed using RSLogix 500 software. RSLogix 500 provides a ladder logic programming environment tailored for the SLC 500 family and MicroLogix controllers. It allows you to create, modify, and monitor programs, as well as upload/download logic to the processor. The software is Windows-based and requires a compatible communication interface like RS-232, DH-485, or Ethernet, depending on the processor model.

    Question: Does the 1746-IN16 have signal delay?
    Date Update:23/06/2025
    Answer:

    Yes, the module introduces signal delay:

    • DC signals: 15 milliseconds (ON and OFF)
    • AC signals: 25 milliseconds (ON and OFF)

    This is due to internal filtering to prevent false triggering from noise or bounce in mechanical contacts.

    Question: How many slots does the 1746-IN16 occupy?
    Date Update:23/06/2025
    Answer:

    It occupies only one slot in the SLC 500 chassis. This compact design helps optimize space within a control cabinet. It allows multiple modules to be installed in the same rack for scalable system design.
