Ø Technical specifications for 1746-NIO4V

² Descripution

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NIO4V is an analog I/O combination module. This module features Two (2) input channels and Two (2) output channels. The input channels features compatibility with differential voltage and current inputs that are individually configurable. For current input configuration, accepted signal range is -20 to +20 mA with a resolution of 16-bit with repeatability of ±1 LSB and non-linearity of 0.01%. It uses Delta-Signa modulation conversion method. When configured for voltage input, the accepted voltage signal range is -10 to +10V dc - 1 LSB with resolution of 305.176 µV per LSB.

The output channels of the 1746-NIO4V does not come with isolation. It can provide an output current range of 0-20 mA with resolution of 14-bit, using R-2R Ladder conversion method. It has a step response of 2.5 ms (at 95%).

This combination I/O module has a backplane current draw of 55 mA at 5.1 VDC and 145 mA at 24VDC. It occupies single slot of the chassis and comes with a removable terminal block for terminating signal wires to and from the module.

Additionally, the 1746-NIO4V may become part of the CompactLogix and ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC), acting as a distributed I/O module.
