1791 Standard I/O Blocks
A 1791 Standard I/O block is the preferred AC voltage unit for monitoring and controlling I/O in a location remote from a PLC or SLC processor. Each 1791 block provides the functionality of the I/O rack, adapter, power supply, and I/O module in a self-contained package. This cost-effective I/O mounts in smaller, less expensive enclosures for applications such as material handling, packaging, and operator interface panels.
Benefits
- Compact design of hardware lets it fit into limited panel space.
- Ideal for distributing I/O at locations remote from the controller utilizing Universal Remote I/O communication.
- Locating I/O near sensors and actuators reduces wiring costs and complexity.
- Removable terminal strips make it easy to replace an I/O block without rewiring, eliminating miswiring and saving maintenance time.
