1.Product Overview

The ​Allen-Bradley 1794-IB16/A FLEX I/O™ Digital Input Module​ delivers robust 24V DC sensing for distributed automation systems. Engineered for Rockwell’s modular FLEX platform, this 16-channel IP67-rated module supports sinking/sourcing inputs in harsh environments (–25°C to +70°C). Its polycarbonate housing withstands high-pressure washdowns, oils, and corrosive chemicals while providing ​1500V AC backplane isolation. Integrated diagnostics include per-point LED status indicators and open-wire detection. Designed for tool-free DIN-rail mounting with ​1794-TBSH terminations, it enables rapid deployment in space-constrained cabinets. Supports ​IO-Link V1.1​ via firmware upgrade for enhanced device parameterization.


2.​Critical Technical Specifications

Performance-defining parameters:

  • Input Channels: 16× 24V DC (sinking/sourcing configurable per group of 8)
  • Voltage Range: 10–30V DC (logic 1: min 15V DC @ 6mA)
  • Isolation: 1500V AC field-to-backplane, 250V AC channel-to-group
  • Response Time: 1ms ON/OFF (software-adjustable filter 0–16ms)
  • Power Consumption: 120mA @ 5V DC backplane, 50mA max per input
  • Surge Protection: ±30V continuous overvoltage tolerance
  • Connection: Removable 1794-TB3/TBSH screwless terminals
  • Environmental: IP67/NEMA 6 (with sealed terminals), 95% humidity
  • Certifications: UL 61010-1, ATEX Zone 21, IECEx, RoHS III

3.​Targeted Applications

Distributed sensing solutions:

  • Food & Beverage: Washdown-proof conveyor jam sensors in hygienic zones (EHEDG)
  • Automotive: Robotic cell safety curtain monitoring with CAT 3 PLd compliance
  • Pharmaceuticals: Airlock door position feedback (21 CFR Part 11 audit trail)
  • Mining: Explosion-protected limit switch inputs (ATEX/IECEx Zone 21)
  • Material Handling: High-cycle palletizer proximity switches (1M+ operations)
  • Water Treatment: Corrosion-resistant float switch inputs in flood-prone basins
    Ideal for replacing hardwired signals in PackML-controlled packaging lines and process skids.

​4.Competitive Advantages

Design innovations:

  • Installation Speed: Push-in terminals reduce wiring time by 70% vs. screw modules
  • Space Efficiency: 45mm width packs 16 I/O in ¼ DIN space (IP67 version)
  • Diagnostic Depth: Open-wire detection (<1.8mA threshold) without external relays
  • Safety Integration: SIL 2 ready with FLEX Ex™ isolation barriers
  • Scalability: Hot-swappable module replacement via 1794-ACN/ACNR adapters
  • Lifecycle Savings: 10M+ mechanical cycles with gold-flashed contacts
  • Interoperability: Dual addressing (Point/IO-Link) within single network

5.​Functional Capabilities

Advanced operational features:

  • Smart Diagnostics: Reports miswiring (under-voltage), overcurrent events via LED codes
  • Filter Customization: Adaptive noise rejection for welding equipment/VFD zones
  • Latching Function: Captures 100µs pulse signals for event sequencing
  • Field Configurability: Set input type (NPN/PNP/NAMUR) without tools via DIP switches
  • Firmware Upgrades: Flash memory enables IO-Link Master capability
  • Status Mirroring: Redundant processor communication via Produced/Consumed tags
  • Energy Monitoring: Per-channel current measurement (±5mA accuracy)
