Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1746-FIO4I is a fast analog combination module designed to enhance the functionality of the SLC 500 series controllers. This module features two analog input channels with 12-bit resolution and two 14-bit resolution analog output channels. It supports both voltage and current input signals, providing flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications. Ideal for systems with limited space, the 1746-FIO4I consolidates both input and output capabilities into a single, compact module.
