The 1746-NI8 Series A module is part of Allen-Bradley's SLC 500™ family, offering high-density analog input capabilities. It features eight differential input channels, each configurable for voltage or current signals, accommodating a variety of sensors and transducers. The module supports input ranges of ±10V DC or ±20 mA, selectable via DIP switches on the circuit board. With a 16-bit resolution, it ensures accurate and reliable data acquisition. The module includes continuous auto-calibration to maintain measurement precision and features nine green LED status indicators—one for the module status and one for each input channel—to facilitate troubleshooting. Designed for seamless integration into the SLC 500™ system, the 1746-NI8 enhances the controller's analog input capacity, making it suitable for various process control applications. Please note that as of November 1, 2013, the 1746-NI8 module has been discontinued and is no longer available for sale through official channels. Customers are encouraged to consider alternative products or consult with authorized distributors for support.
