Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1756-IB16I ControlLogix Isolated Input Module is a 16-point DC input module designed to provide electrical isolation between input channels. Operating on a 24 VDC nominal range (10–30 VDC), it ensures safe, accurate acquisition of digital signals from field devices within ControlLogix automation systems.
Its isolation protects the system from voltage spikes, interference, and ground loops, making it ideal for industrial applications where signal integrity and system protection are critical. The module operates reliably in environments with temperatures from 0 to 60 °C.
