Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1791-24A8 Block I/O Module is a mixed AC digital I/O module designed for industrial automation systems that require both high-voltage input monitoring and output control. Developed by Rockwell Automation under the Allen-Bradley Block I/O series, this module is widely used in applications involving AC-powered field devices.
It provides 24 digital input channels (divided into 3 groups of 8) and 8 digital output channels, supporting AC voltage operation up to 120 VAC nominal. The module is designed to interface directly with AC sensors, switches, and actuators, eliminating the need for intermediate signal conversion.
With its integrated block design, the 1791-24A8 simplifies installation, reduces wiring complexity, and ensures stable performance in industrial environments where AC signal control is required.
