Product Description
The Allen-Bradley 1791ES-IB16 is a CompactBlock EtherNet/IP safety input module designed for SIL CL3/CAT 4/PLe safety-control networks. It features 16 safety inputs (current sinking, IEC 61131-2 type 3), 16 current-sourcing pulse test outputs with short circuit protection (0.7A per output, 8A total @ 60C), and a 24V DC bipolar safety output (2A per point, 6A total @ 60C). It's housed in an IP54 or higher enclosure, has an isolation voltage of 50V DC (tested at 800V DC), and dimensions of 80mm x 196mm x 77mm, weighing 600g. Recommended wiring is 0.341.5 mm2 (2216 AWG) copper wire. It supports dual-channel and single-channel safety configurations for various safety categories and performance levels.
Is Your Device Showing These Signs?
The Allen Bradley 1791ES-IB16 I/O block commonly experiences issues such as communication failures stemming from corrupted backplane connectivity or a malfunctioning EtherNet/IP adapter. Input modules frequently exhibit problems with field wiring terminations, leading to open circuits or short circuits that prevent proper signal transmission. Internal component degradation, specifically electrolytic capacitor failure on the power supply board, results in intermittent operation or complete module failure. Resolving these problems involves inspecting and reseating the backplane connection, verifying field wiring integrity, and replacing faulty capacitors or the entire I/O block when necessary. Firmware corruption also occurs, necessitating a firmware update or re-flash to restore proper functionality.

Our Repair Process for the
1791ES-IB16
Our repair process for the Allen Bradley 1791ES-IB16 I/O block begins with a thorough inspection of the backplane connection; reseating is performed to ensure proper connectivity. Field wiring terminations are meticulously verified to eliminate open or short circuits. Internal components, particularly electrolytic capacitors on the power supply board, are examined for degradation and replaced as needed. If component-level repair is insufficient, the entire I/O block is replaced. Firmware integrity is assessed, and a firmware update or re-flash is executed to correct any corruption.
