Allen-Bradley 1794-IA16 FLEX I/O 16-Point 120V AC Digital Input Module
Allen-Bradley 1794-IA16 is a FLEX I/O digital input module with 16 non-isolated 120 V AC inputs that read line-voltage signals directly — no interposing relays required.
Overview
The 1794-IA16 accepts sixteen 74…132 V AC discrete signals such as line-voltage limit switches, pushbuttons and motor starter auxiliaries. It draws only 20 mA from the FlexBus, shows the state of every point on 16 yellow indicators, and mounts on the full family of 1794 TB3/TBN terminal bases.
Key Features
