Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16I Analog Current Input Module for SLC 500

Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16I Analog Current Input Module is a multi-class analog current input module from the SLC 500 family, providing 16 backplane-isolated channels for reading current-loop signals from field transmitters. Process variables such as flow, pressure, level and temperature are commonly transmitted to the control system as current signals, and the Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16I brings those signals into the SLC 500 processor with one module per rack slot. For plants operating Allen-Bradley SLC 500 control systems, the Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16I is a genuine OEM spare that keeps analog measurement channels available when an existing module must be replaced.

Engineering Design

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16I installs into the backplane of a SLC 500 chassis and provides 16 analog current input channels. Each channel is backplane-isolated, which means the input circuitry is isolated from the module backplane, protecting the processor from ground-loop noise and helping maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy plant environments. The module converts the incoming current signals into digital values that the SLC 500 processor reads through its normal I/O image, so programming the module follows the standard SLC 500 analog module configuration procedure.

FAQ

Compatibility & Integration

The 1746-NI16I is designed for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 family and installs in any standard SLC 500 chassis slot alongside other 1746-series I/O modules. The module is configured with the standard SLC 500 analog module procedure, and its 16 backplane-isolated channels allow plant engineers to concentrate multiple analog loops into a single module slot, which is valuable when chassis space is limited.

In plants that run SLC 500 systems, the 1746-NI16I is typically found in the same rack as the processor and other analog modules, reading transmitter signals from the process area. Keeping a tested spare of the 1746-NI16I on the shelf protects the plant against a failed channel or module, because the replacement can be installed and configured in a fraction of a shift.
