Frequently Asked Questions about 1794-IT8
Question: How does the 1794-IT8 module handle signal conversion and accuracy?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The module uses a high-resolution 16-bit Delta-Sigma converter to digitize incoming thermocouple and millivolt signals. It achieves typical resolution of 2.384 microvolts, ensuring detailed and accurate readings. Its normal mode noise rejection is rated at -60 dB at 60 Hz, minimizing electrical interference from surrounding equipment. This ensures stable operation even in noisy industrial environments.

Question: Can the 1794-IT8 support multiple types of thermocouples in a single installation?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the module supports all common thermocouple types—J, K, E, R, N, S, B, C, T, and L—within the same installation. Each of the eight input channels can be configured independently to read a specific thermocouple type. This flexibility allows one module to measure temperatures from multiple sensor types simultaneously. It simplifies design and reduces hardware costs in diverse applications.

Question: Which PLCs or adapters can be used with the 1794-IT8?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The 1794-IT8 is part of the Flex I/O family and can be used with any compatible Flex I/O communication adapter. This includes EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet adapters that connect to Rockwell PLCs like ControlLogix or CompactLogix. This compatibility ensures seamless integration into distributed control systems. It also enables users to deploy the module in both local and remote I/O architectures.

Question: Which signal ranges can the 1794-IT8 process, and how does it manage input overload?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

The module can process millivolt signals ranging from -76.5 mV to +76.5 mV, covering the full range of supported thermocouples. It features a nominal input range of ±76.5 mV and includes overload protection with an isolation voltage of 850VDC. This ensures safe operation even under fault conditions. Its design also provides high resistance to common mode and normal mode noise, further protecting the system.

Question: Is the 1794-IT8 still in production?
Date Update:03/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the Allen-Bradley 1794-IT8 module is currently in production and listed as “Active Mature” in the product lifecycle. This means it is available for purchase, but it may be approaching the final stages of its lifecycle. Customers can still integrate this module into their systems, with full support and maintenance from Rockwell Automation.
