About the Allen-Bradley 1746-IA4
The 1746-IA4 is an SLC 4 point digital input module for 100/120V AC, discontinued on 8/30/2015. It works from 85…132V AC at 47…63 Hz, with a nominal input of 12 mA at 120V AC, an inrush current of 0.8 A and a backplane current of 35 mA (selection guide 1747-SG001). Off-state values are 30V AC and 2 mA.
What is the 1746-IA4 used for?
It brings four 120V AC signals into an SLC 500 system, a small module for a few field contacts. The signal on delay is 35 ms max and the signal off delay is 45 ms max.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued (Rockwell Automation lifecycle status, discontinued 8/30/2015, checked 24 October 2026).
