Information About 1771-IXE

The 1771-IXE belongs to the classic 1771 I/O family from Allen-Bradley and is engineered to interface differential sensor signals with PLC systems that support block transfer communication. It provides eight configurable input channels, allowing combinations of thermocouple types (E, J, K, T, R, S) and millivolt ranges within the same module—four channels of one input type and four of another. With integrated cold junction compensation, automatic offset/gain calibration, and self-diagnostics, the module ensures accurate and stable temperature measurement. The unit delivers temperature resolution down to 1°C/1°F and millivolt resolution as fine as 10 microvolts. Open-circuit detection, user-selectable alarms, and reinforced isolation make it reliable for demanding process instrumentation. Installed in any standard 1771 I/O chassis, the 1771-IXE is well suited for distributed control systems requiring precise analog sensing.

Key Features:

  • Eight Differential Inputs: Supports up to eight channels of temperature or low-level millivolt measurement.
  • Flexible Configuration: Accepts two input types simultaneously—four thermocouple inputs and four mV inputs, or other mixed combinations.
  • Thermocouple Compatibility: Works with Types E, J, K, T, R, and S thermocouples.
  • High Accuracy: Includes cold junction compensation and automatic calibration for each channel.
  • Fine Resolution: Provides 1°C/1°F temperature resolution and 10 μV resolution for millivolt inputs.
  • Advanced Diagnostics: Power-up self-tests and open-thermocouple detection enhance reliability and troubleshooting.
  • User-Configurable Alarms: High and low temperature alarm settings programmable per application needs.
  • 1771 Chassis Integration: Fits any 1771 I/O chassis and communicates via block transfer for seamless PLC interfacing.

The 1771-IXE delivers precise and stable measurement performance required for critical temperature and analog monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1771-IXE
Question: What is the primary function of the 1771-IXE module?
Date Update:05/06/2025
Answer:

The Allen-Bradley 1771-IXE is an analog input module designed for use with thermocouples and millivolt sensors. It accepts up to eight floating differential inputs and supports multiple thermocouple types including E, J, K, T, R, and S. The module converts low-level analog signals into digital data for temperature or millivolt measurement. It’s commonly used in industrial applications requiring precise thermal monitoring. The module is ideal for integration into PLC-5 systems via block transfer instructions.

Question: Does the 1771-IXE require an external power supply?
Date Update:05/06/2025
Answer:

No, the 1771-IXE does not require an external power supply for its operation. It draws all necessary power from the PLC-5 backplane, specifically 750 milliamperes at 5 volts DC. This simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity. The absence of external power also enhances system reliability and integration. It is critical, however, to ensure that the chassis power supply is adequately rated.

Question: Is the 1771-IXE compatible with all PLC-5 systems?
Date Update:05/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1771-IXE is compatible with any Allen-Bradley processor using 1771 I/O chassis. It is a single-slot module and can be mounted in any available slot within the chassis. The module is fully supported by block transfer instructions (BTW and BTR). This compatibility makes it versatile for existing and legacy systems. However, users should verify chassis capacity and power ratings before installation.

Question: Does the module provide fault detection or status indication?
Date Update:05/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the 1771-IXE includes LED indicators on the front panel: a green "RUN" LED and a red "FLT" LED. These indicators show operational and fault status of the module. It performs self-diagnostics at power-up and provides open-circuit detection for thermocouple failures. Fault alarms such as high/low temperature thresholds can be user-defined. These alarms can be interfaced with HMI or SCADA systems for process visibility.

Question: Is the 1771-IXE module still in production?
Date Update:05/06/2025
Answer:

No, the 1771-IXE is classified as an earlier model and is no longer in active production. It is part of the legacy PLC-5 product family. While still supported in many installed systems, Rockwell Automation recommends migration to newer platforms like ControlLogix. Spare units may still be available through aftermarket or Rockwell's lifecycle services. Users planning new installations should consider modern analog input modules.
