Information About 1769-HSC
The 1769-HSC is part of the Allen-Bradley Compact I/O family and is engineered to interface directly with encoders, transmitters, and fast-switching sensing devices. Its two quadrature (ABZ) differential inputs support input voltages from 2.6 to 30V DC and process signals with a minimum pulse width of 250 ns, allowing precise high-speed counting and totalizing. The module supports both counter and encoder functions, making it suitable for applications such as speed monitoring, position tracking, and motion control. It provides four sourcing outputs rated at 5–30V DC and up to 1A per channel (4A per module) along with twelve virtual outputs for extended control logic. With reinforced isolation voltage of 75V continuous and tested up to 1200V AC for 2 seconds, the module ensures safe and reliable operation. It requires placement within four slots of the system power supply and consumes 425 mA at 5.1V DC with a heat dissipation of 7.5 W.
Key Features:
- Input Channels: Two quadrature (ABZ) differential inputs for high-speed counting and encoder applications.
- Input Frequency: Supports up to 1 MHz input signals with 250 ns minimum pulse width and 131 ns pulse separation.
- Output Capacity: Provides 16 outputs total, including 4 physical sourcing outputs (5–30V DC, 1A each) and 12 virtual outputs.
- Current Handling: Rated for 1A per output point and 4A maximum per module, suitable for direct high-speed control.
- Electrical Ratings: Operates with an input range of 2.6–30V DC and an output range of 5–30V DC.
- Isolation: 75V continuous reinforced insulation, type-tested at 1200V AC for 2 seconds.
- Power Requirements: Draws 425 mA at 5.1V DC, with 7.5 W power dissipation and strict placement within four modules of the power supply.
- Construction: Compact open-style module with panel or DIN rail mounting, designed for integration with CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems.
The 1769-HSC delivers the precision and speed required for demanding counter, totalizer, and motion control applications in industrial automation.
