Buy Allen-Bradley 1756-RIO – Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1756-RIO is a ControlLogix Remote I/O Scanner Module designed for industrial automation systems requiring reliable remote I/O communication. This communication module enables seamless data transfer between ControlLogix controllers and Remote I/O networks, supporting both digital and analog data transfer without requiring message instructions. Engineered by Rockwell Automation, the 1756-RIO delivers robust performance in demanding factory control environments across North America, Europe, and Asia. As a trusted supplier in Canada and the United States, LeadTime.ca stocks genuine OEM components for immediate worldwide dispatch.
Allen-Bradley 1756-RIO Features & Benefits
The 1756-RIO offers multiple operational modes to adapt to your automation requirements. It accommodates up to 10 scheduled I/O connections and automatically updates block transfers at all accessible locations. The module features a 4-character scrolling display with three status indicators (RIO, CLX, and OK) for real-time network and controller diagnostics. Operating temperature range of 0–60°C ensures compatibility with standard industrial environments. The module draws minimal backplane current (450 mA at 5.1V DC, 5 mA at 24V DC) with power dissipation of just 2.5 watts. Its 50V continuous isolation voltage provides essential protection for RIO communication lines to backplane, type-tested at 500V AC for 60 seconds.
