Functional Role in the System
The 1746-IO8 is a hybrid digital I/O module developed for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 platform. Unlike fixed input or output cards, this module allows each channel to be individually configured as an input or output, providing flexibility when cabinet space is limited or when different applications have varying I/O requirements.
The module connects directly to the SLC 500 backplane and exchanges I/O status information with the controller via standard SLC data sheets, making it suitable for both new system configurations and system retrofits.
Key Characteristics
Total of 8 configurable DC points
Each point selectable as input or output
Specifically designed for 24 V DC field signals

Questions Buyers Commonly Ask

Common Problem
Can all 8 points be used as outputs simultaneously?
Yes. Each channel can be configured independently, and all points can be used as outputs when necessary.
Is configuration done via hardware jumpers?
No. Point configuration must be performed using the SLC 500 programming software.
Is this module compatible with MicroLogix controllers?
No. The 1746-IO8 is designed exclusively for the SLC 500 platform.
Does it support AC signals?
No. This module is intended for DC applications only.
