The 1794-IRT8XT is an input module developed by Allen Bradley, tailored for processing signals from thermocouples and Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs). This component integrates eight input channels, split into two sets of four, allowing for flexible applications.
Operating across a voltage range of -40 to 100 millivolts DC for thermocouples and from 0 to 325 millivolts for RTDs, this module accommodates multiple sensor types. It supports thermocouple variants such as Types B, E, J, K, TXK/XK(L), N, R, S, and T. The resolution achieved with this module is impressive at 14 bits, enabling precise measurements.
Designed for functionality, the 1794-IRT8XT comes without a protective enclosure, offering an open-style installation. It maintains an isolation voltage rating of 50 Volts continuously and operates under an external power supply requirement of 24 Volts DC. The supply current draws about 95 milliamperes at this voltage.
Power dissipation is kept to a maximum of 3 Watts at 31.2 Volts DC, ensuring efficient operation. Additionally, local status indicators include eight red input status lights and one green power status light, providing immediate feedback on module performance. The input detection responds swiftly, with open inputs being identified almost instantly—within two scan cycles.
With a maximum thermal dissipation capability of 10.2 British Thermal Units per hour at 31.2 Volts DC and an overvoltage tolerance of 15 Volts DC at 25 degrees Celsius, the 1794-IRT8XT module is engineered for reliability in demanding environments.
