Description

The Allen-Bradley 1794-IA8I FLEX I/O input module is designed for distributed 120V AC signal monitoring in industrial automation systems using the FLEX I/O platform. It provides eight isolated digital input channels for machine control, panel retrofit, and remote I/O applications where AC field signals must be interfaced to a modular control architecture.
