Frequently Asked Questions about 1791ES-IB8XOBV4
Question: What is the main function of the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 module?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 is a CompactBlock Guard I/O module designed to handle safety-related digital inputs and outputs. It integrates seamlessly into Ethernet I/P safety networks for applications requiring Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Category Level 3 compliance. This module enables monitoring of safety circuits through feedback on input and output status. It supports reliable control in high-integrity industrial systems.

Question: How many digital inputs and outputs does the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 support?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The module features eight current sinking safety inputs and four bipolar dual-channel current sourcing outputs. Inputs comply with IEC 61131-2 Type 3 standards, ensuring compatibility with a range of field devices. Each output is rated at 0.7 A per point, with a maximum total module current of 8 A at 40°C and 6 A at 60°C. This configuration makes it versatile for various safety I/O applications.

Question: What are the voltage and current requirements for the inputs of the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Each input requires a minimum on-state voltage of 11VDC and a minimum on-state current of 3.3 mA for proper operation. The maximum off-state input voltage is 5VDC, ensuring safe detection of input state transitions. Inputs are current sinking, supporting reliable integration with field devices. These specifications are essential for maintaining accurate input status in safety applications.

Question: What networking capabilities does the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 provide?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The module includes one Ethernet I/P port with an RJ45 connection. This port enables integration into Ethernet I/P safety networks. IP address configuration can be managed via rotary switches, BOOTP/DHCP, or non-volatile memory retrieval. These features simplify network setup and maintenance in distributed control systems.

Question: Is the 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 still in production?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the Allen-Bradley 1791ES-IB8XOBV4 is currently in production with an "Active" lifecycle status. This means it is fully supported by Rockwell Automation and available for new installations.
