The 1778-IFC module is an analog input module designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The unit is part of the Bulletin 1778 series of modules and it enhances the operation of PLCs (programmable logic controllers). The 1778-IFC module is made according to the requirements of standards such as the UL, cUL, and CSA standards. The PLC controllers are built with a simple design and they provide flexibility that cannot be easily matched. These components provide various features, custom options, and communication configurations. The 1778-IFC analog input module is intended for professional systems comprised of a large number of high-end parts that operate as one cohesive unit. The use of such a module in combination with a PLC system will contribute to better productivity and will decrease the time necessary for development. Also, the PLC system is easy to maintain and it provides advanced diagnostics capabilities. These systems communicate through various networks, including the EtherNet/IP, DH+, and RS-232 networks.

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation 1778-IFC analog input module has 8/16 inputs and it is compatible with the RSLogix 5000 software. The specified relative humidity range of the unit is 5 to 95% without condensation. The module operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) and it can be stored at temperatures not lower than -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher than 85 degrees Celsius (185 degrees Fahrenheit). Also, the 1778-IFC input module has a solid resistance to other rough environmental conditions which includes 1 G of resistance to vibration at 5 to 2000 Hertz and 30 G of resistance to shock for 11 milliseconds.
