About the Allen-Bradley 1746-IB16
The 1746-IB16 is an SLC 16 point DC input module, now discontinued. Its 16 inputs take 24V DC, with an operating range of 10 to 30V DC and a nominal input current of 8 mA at 24V DC. Off-state is 5.0V DC and 1 mA maximum.
What is the 1746-IB16 used for?
It brings 16 24V DC signals from sensors and switches into an SLC 500 system. The signal on delay is 8 ms maximum, and it draws 50 mA at 5V and 0 mA at 24V from the backplane.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued (Rockwell Automation lifecycle status, checked 24 October 2026).
