The Allen-Bradley 1756-RIO module enables seamless connectivity between a ControlLogix processor and a Remote I/O network, functioning as either an adapter or scanner. It supports comprehensive data transfer, including block-transfer, digital, specialty, and analog data, ensuring efficient communication without message instructions. Configured by default in scanner mode, it can manage up to 32 physical adapters and supports all remote I/O baud rates and partial rack combinations, making it highly versatile for various industrial applications. The module is powered through a 1756-chassis power supply, boasting a continuous isolation voltage of 50V with basic insulation and a maximum current draw of 450 mA at 5.1V DC, along with a power dissipation of 2.5 Watts. It installs into any slot of all ControlLogix chassis models, supporting both simplex and redundant controller topologies, and integrates with HMI and SCADA systems via compatible communication cards.
