Function Features

Multiple Input Channels: There are 16 input channels that are able to simultaneously sense a large number of input signals to best monitor and control a great number of devices or processes, courtesy of the Allen Bradley 1746-IA16.

Removable Terminal Block:Replacement of the Allen Bradley 1746-IA16 negates the need for re-wiring of input termination hence saving both time and labor on maintenance work.

Adjustable Parameters: Allen Bradley 1746-IA16 Allows parameters to adjust to the installer's recommendation that might then optimize the overall performance of that particular application.

LED status indicators: Each input channel contains LED indicators for the input channel so that their activation can be visually diagnosed and troubleshot. This will enable the operator to see the status of each input and to easily identify if something is not working.

Applications

Energy Management Systems: Allen Bradley 1746-IA16 is an important part of energy management, happening all the time with data concerning the energy applied. This data is further processed into itemized or summary reports used for reporting purposes for alerts of machine and process out of control, to serve as feedback into an energy optimization algorithm or the basis for decisions aimed at cutting costs regarding energy utilization.

Chemical plants: Allen Bradley 1746-IA16 provides precise measurement and control of temperature, pressure, flow rates, and chemical levels. This is crucial in ensuring safety within the production process, guaranteeing product quality, and complying with standards set out by governing bodies.

Water treatment:  It can monitor and control various processes, including measuring water-quality parameters along with flow rates and operating pumps and valves.
