Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1746-NO4I is a four-channel, 0-20 mA analog output module for SLC 500 PLCs, compatible with both fixed and modular hardware styles. It drives modulating devices, acting as a PID controller's Control Output or a manual loading station's command, and can re-transmit signals for indication, data logging, or conversion. Its properties are configurable, and it features a switch for selecting internal (backplane) or external (24VDC 10%, 195mA max) power. Specifications include a 16-bit 2s complement format, 55mA/5VDC and 195mA/24VDC backplane current draw, 5% over-range capacity, 500VDC backplane isolation, 512s update time, 2.5ms step response, 0-60C operating temperature, and +/- 70 ppm/C full-scale accuracy drift. It requires shielded cable (e.g., Belden 8761), supports a 0-500 ohm load, and uses a removable terminal block for easy wiring within a 1746 chassis.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 1746-NO4I analog output module commonly experiences issues such as output signal drift, calibration errors requiring potentiometer adjustments, and failure to produce the correct voltage or current range due to component degradation. Troubleshooting often reveals problems with the power supply impacting signal integrity, or wiring faults causing short circuits and open circuits that disrupt the output signal. Resolve these issues by replacing faulty components, recalibrating the module, and verifying proper wiring and power supply voltage levels to ensure accurate and stable analog outputs within the PLC system.
