Information About 1746-NIO4I

The 1746-NIO4I belongs to the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 family and is designed for applications requiring both analog monitoring and analog control. It accepts voltage inputs from -10 to +10V DC and current inputs from -20 to +20 mA, with a 16-bit sigma-delta ADC for precise signal conversion. Its two current outputs support ranges of 0–20 mA with a 5% over-range capability, delivering fine resolution for actuator and control device operation. The module features high rejection ratios (105 dB common mode and 55 dB normal mode at 60 Hz) to reduce noise interference in industrial environments. With an update time of 512 microseconds for all channels and step responses of 60 ms for inputs and 2.5 ms for outputs, it ensures fast and accurate performance. The 1746-NIO4I has isolation tested at 500V between the field side and backplane, enhancing reliability. It consumes 55 mA at 5V DC and 145 mA at 24V DC from the backplane, supporting operation within 0–60 °C.

Key Features:

  • Channel Configuration: Provides two analog inputs (voltage/current) and two analog current outputs in a single-slot module.
  • Input Ranges: Voltage input range of -10 to +10V DC and current input range of -20 to +20 mA.
  • Output Ranges: Current output range of 0–20 mA with 5% over-range capability for flexible device control.
  • Resolution: 16-bit input resolution with ±1 LSB accuracy; 14-bit output resolution for precise analog signal handling.
  • Conversion Technology: Utilizes sigma-delta ADC conversion with high repeatability and low non-linearity error.
  • Signal Integrity: Features 105 dB common mode and 55 dB normal mode rejection at 60 Hz to minimize electrical noise effects.
  • Update and Response: Aggregate update time of 512 µs with step response of 60 ms for inputs and 2.5 ms for outputs.
  • Electrical Isolation: 500V isolation tested between field wiring and backplane for enhanced system protection.

The 1746-NIO4I delivers precision, speed, and noise immunity, making it suitable for analog monitoring and control in SLC 500 automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1746-NIO4I
Question: What is the 1746-NIO4I?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1746-NIO4I is a combination analog module for SLC 500 controllers. It provides:

  • 2 analog inputs (current or voltage)
  • 2 analog outputs (current or voltage)
  • 16-bit resolution for precise measurements and control
Question: How do I wire the 1746-NIO4I module?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Here’s a general wiring guide:

Analog Inputs

1. Voltage mode:

  • Connect the voltage source (+) to the channel input (+).
  • Connect the voltage source (–) to the analog common (ANLG COM).

Current mode:

  • Connect the current source (+) to the channel input (+).
  • Connect the current source (–) to the analog common (ANLG COM).

Analog Outputs

Voltage output:

  • Connect the load (+) to the output (+).
  • Connect the load (–) to the analog common.

Current output:

  • Connect the current loop (+) to the output (+).
  • Connect the current loop (–) to the analog common.

Important wiring notes:

  • Analog common (ANLG COM) is used for all channels (inputs and outputs).
  • Use shielded twisted-pair cable for best noise immunity.
  • Keep analog cables away from high-voltage or high-current AC wiring to avoid noise.
Question: Where can I find the manual for the 1746-NIO4I?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

You can download the manual (publication 1746-UM005) from the Rockwell Automation Literature Library.

Question: What is the module’s resolution?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters offer 16-bit resolution, providing precise measurements and output control.

Question: How do I test and calibrate the module?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The module is factory-calibrated, but you can:

  • Use RSLogix 500 to verify input/output scaling and check raw data values.
  • If needed, use known analog sources to test readings and outputs.
