Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IF8 ControlLogix 8‑Channel Analog Input Module

Allen‑Bradley 1756‑IF8 is an 8‑channel analog input module for Rockwell ControlLogix PLC chassis. It receives analog current or voltage signals from field transmitters and sensors, converts analog signals into digital values and transmits data to ControlLogix controller for process monitoring and closed‑loop regulation.

This module supports configurable 4‑20mA and ±10V signal types, equipped with channel‑level fault diagnosis function. It adopts single‑slot chassis installation, widely used as replacement spare parts for factory automation, water treatment and petrochemical control cabinet maintenance projects.
