1791-16B0

The Allen Bradley 1791-16B0 is part of the esteemed 1791 Block I/O series, serving as a dedicated input module. Designed to facilitate a wide input voltage range from 10 V to 30 V DC, this module effectively manages up to 16 inputs organized into two groups, each containing eight inputs. This configuration enhances monitoring capabilities in automation systems.

The module operates efficiently with an on state current that ranges from a minimum of 2.5 mA to a maximum of 11 mA. To ensure low power consumption in a non-active state, the off-state voltage is limited to a maximum of 5 V DC. With an input impedance measuring at 3.4 K Ohms, the device is tailored for a variety of input signal types, ensuring compatibility with diverse sensors and switches.

In terms of energy management, the 1791-16B0's power dissipation is noted at 11.1 watts, with thermal dissipation measured at 38 BTU/hr, allowing for proper heat maintenance during operation. The inputs are wired using 14 gauge wire, which provides adequate current capacity for reliable signal transmission.

Additionally, this input module is equipped with status LEDs to provide clear visual indications of operational states, enhancing user accessibility during monitoring and troubleshooting. Designed to endure varied environmental conditions, the 1791-16B0 can operate in temperatures from 0 °C to 60 °C and be stored between -40 °C and 85 °C. Its humidity tolerance, rated between 5% to 95% non-condensing, further extends its usability across different industrial settings.
