Product Description

Allen-Bradley 1746-NI8 / 1746-OW8 SLC 500 PLC I/O Modules

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NI8 and 1746-OW8 are highly reliable I/O modules designed for the SLC 500 series Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The 1746-NI8 is a high-resolution, 8-channel analog input module that allows for flexible configuration of either voltage (-10V DC to +10V DC) or current (-20mA to +20mA) input ranges per channel via built-in DIP switches. It is ideal for precise monitoring of industrial sensors, though it is not intended for isolated analog applications. The 1746-OW8 is an 8-channel relay output module featuring isolated contacts designed to switch loads up to 2A at 240V AC or 0.5A at 125V DC. With a maximum surge current capacity of 10A, it provides robust switching capabilities for a variety of industrial automation tasks. Both modules feature front-panel LED indicators for quick and easy channel and module status diagnostics.
