Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1771-IFEK is a conformal-coated PLC 5 analog input module that protects against humidity and contaminants. It occupies a single slot in a 1771 I/O chassis, requiring no external power supply, and uses block transfer programming for data exchange with the PLC processor. It accepts up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential inputs, converting them to 4-digit BCD or 12-bit binary values across five voltage and three current input ranges. The module draws 500mA at 5V from the backplane, updates channels in 18ms (8 channels) or 36ms (16 channels), and connects via a 1771-WG wiring arm for easy replacement. It dissipates a maximum of 2.5W (8.52 BTU/hr) and requires specific keying bands. The 1771-IFEK offers selectable real-time sampling, data format, and scaling to engineering units, and features RUN/FAULT indicators, optoelectrical isolation, and digital filtering for noise reduction.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 1771-IFEK analog input module commonly experiences issues such as calibration drift, resulting in inaccurate process variable readings. Technicians address this by performing a full calibration procedure using a precision voltage source and multimeter, ensuring adherence to factory specifications. Other frequent problems include failed input channels due to component degradation or overvoltage events, necessitating component-level repair or module replacement. Corrosion on the backplane connector also causes intermittent communication errors; cleaning and reseating the module resolves this. Finally, firmware corruption leads to erratic behavior, requiring a firmware update or re-flash using compatible programming software.
