Product Information

Allen-Bradley is the brand name of Factory Automation Equipment manufactured by Rockwell Automation. The company manufactures programmable logic controllers, human-machine interfaces, software, safety components, and asset management services. The company was founded in 1903 as the Compression Rheostat Company by Dr. Stanton Allen and Lynda Bradley. The company was rebranded as the Allen Bradley Company in 1910. The company was one of the first to provide discrete resistors used for electronics and other products, but the company’s first patented product was a carbon disc compression-type motor controller for industrial cranes, which was demonstrated at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Rockwell International acquired Allen-Bradley in 1985 and moved its headquarters to Milwaukee in 2002. The Allen-Bradley 1756-IF 16 Analog Input Module is compatible with CompactLogix, Controllogix, MicroLogix 1500 controllers. The 1756-IF 16 controller module can provide the input component for your analog to digital conversion needs. The 1756-IF 16 controller module has a built in removable terminal block, a finger safe cover allowing the user to create a connection with I/O sensors and actuators. The system can be changed so that the I/O wiring can be routed from underneath the primary module to the selected I/O terminal. 6 point terminals can offer onboard data alarming, scaling to engineering units, real time channel sampling, data formats in integer mode with IEEE 32 bit floating points, module keying that is electronic software configurable and RTB keying. The 1756-IF 16 Controllogix module has 16 single ended inputs with 8 differential or 4 differential for analog data. Its input range is plus or minus 10 volts. 8 point modules offer increased accuracy, repeatability, and greater stability over temperature operating ranges. The 8 point module can also offer increased precision with 24 bits of usable resolution, synchronized input sampling across all modules anywhere in a CIP Synch system, and per channel status with fault LED annunciation. Each 1756-IF 16 ControlLogix I/O module mounts in a ControlLogix chassis and requires either a removable terminal block or a 1492 interface module to connect all field side wiring. The Allen-Bradley 1756-IF 16 Analog-Input Module from Rockwell Automation comes with a significant level of documentation in the form of a full PDF with all relevant information and technical definitions with regard to current, differential, voltage, inputs, and outputs. The Allen-Bradley 1756-IF 16 also contains on board data alarming, scaling to engineering units, and real time channel sampling.The 1756-IF 16 controller also contains diagnostic features that can assist in identifying the source of problems that occur during power up or normal channel operation.
