Applications and functions:

The controller may belong to Rockwell Automation's ControlLogix family, a high-performance controller platform for handling complex automation tasks [3].

The 1746-IV16 controller may support a power wiring configuration, and the module itself is capable of providing signal voltage to the loop and then returning the module's input channel when the device signal status changes [2].

It may be fault-tolerant and redundant, communicating with remote redundant I/O machines via EtherNet/IP networks to provide high reliability for critical processes [3].

Technical specifications:

Each channel is typically designed to operate at a nominal voltage of 24VDC, but accepts a voltage range of 10-30 VDC [2].

At 24VDC, a nominal input current of 8 mA may be required per channel. The maximum on-state input voltage is 5.0 VDC, and the maximum off-state input current is 1 mA[2].

For both on critical and off to on conversions, the maximum signal delay time for each channel is 8 ms[2].

Application field:

AB 1746-IV16 controller may be widely used in various industrial fields, such as CNC machinery, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, paper printing, textile printing, machinery, electronic manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, etc.
