Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1791-24B8 I/O module features 24 DC inputs (arranged in three blocks of eight) and 8 outputs. Its DC input characteristics include an ON-state voltage range of 10-30V with a corresponding current draw of 2.5mA (at 11V) to 11mA (at 30V), a maximum OFF-state voltage of 5V at 1.5mA, and an input impedance of 3.4 ohms. Input signal delays are 1ms ON, 5ms OFF (fast) and 1ms ON, 18ms OFF (slow). The output current rating is 500mA/1A (vertical mounting) or 250mA/500mA (horizontal mounting) within a 30-60C temperature range, with a surge current of 3A for 50ms repeating every 2 seconds. Output OFF-state characteristics include 1mA current at 1V drop and 0.5mA leakage. The module requires an external 19.2-30V DC power supply at 300mA, and features internal protection. It dissipates a maximum of 58.1 BTU/hour (17.1 Watts) and operates between 0-60C (32-140F) with 5-95% non-condensing relative humidity. Its dimensions are 176.5mm x 68.8mm x 98mm (6.95" x 2.7" x 3.85") and it weighs 1.02kg (2.25 lbs).
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 1791-24B8 is commonly repaired for communication failures stemming from corrupted backplanes or faulty Ethernet ports. Power supply issues, including capacitor degradation and voltage regulator malfunction, lead to operational failure. I/O module failures, specifically transistor burnout and sensor input errors, are addressed through component replacement and circuit recalibration. Firmware corruption necessitates reprogramming, and physical damage to connectors requires replacement to ensure proper signal integrity. Overcurrent events damage internal components, requiring thorough diagnostics and replacement of affected parts.
