Allen-Bradley 1746-IO12DC Module

Optimize your Allen-Bradley SLC 500 PLC system with the 1746-IO12DC compact combo I/O module, integrating 8 digital DC inputs and 4 digital DC outputs in a single unit. Engineered for space-saving, cost-efficient control of discrete devices in industrial automation, it delivers reliable performance for machinery, conveyor systems, and process control applications requiring mixed I/O functionality.

1. Mixed 12-Channel I/O Configuration: Combines 8 sink/source DC inputs and 4 source DC outputs in one module, reducing chassis slot usage and simplifying control panel wiring.
2. 24V DC Operating Voltage: Matches standard industrial sensor and actuator voltage requirements, eliminating the need for additional power supplies or signal converters.
3. Flexible Input/Output Design: Inputs support both sink and source wiring configurations; outputs feature overload protection to safeguard connected devices from current spikes.
4. LED Status Indicators: Per-channel LEDs for input signal detection and output activation provide instant visual diagnostics, streamlining troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
5. Rugged Industrial Construction: Withstands extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock, meeting strict industrial standards for deployment in manufacturing plants, packaging lines, and material handling systems.
6. Seamless SLC 500 Integration: Plug-and-play compatibility with SLC 500 chassis systems; works with 1746-RTB removable terminal blocks for fast, error-free installation and replacement.
7. Diagnostic Capabilities: Built-in short-circuit and overload detection for outputs, minimizing downtime by alerting operators to wiring faults or device malfunctions.

Application Areas:

1. Conveyor and material handling system control
2. Packaging and labeling machinery operation
3. Assembly line discrete device control (sensors, actuators)
4. Industrial pump and valve on/off control
5. Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS)
6. Machine tool auxiliary function control
