Product Spotlights
As a trusted supplier of industrial automation components since 2011, Rossonix Co., Limited is proud to offer the Allen-Bradley 1746-NT8 SLC500 System Thermocouple/MV Analog Input Module. This high-quality module is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing SLC500 control system, providing reliable and accurate temperature and millivolt signal acquisition. With our global export experience exceeding US$5 million annually and ISO9001 certified quality management, you can trust that every 1746-NT8 we supply meets the highest standards of performance and durability.
Product Overview
The 1746-NT8 is an 8-channel analog input module specifically engineered for thermocouple and millivolt signal types. It directly interfaces with standard thermocouples (Types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N) and low-level millivolt signals, converting them into digital values for your SLC500 processor. This module eliminates the need for external signal conditioners, simplifying system design and reducing costs while maintaining excellent noise immunity and accuracy.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- 8 Isolated Channels: Each channel provides galvanic isolation, preventing ground loops and ensuring measurement integrity in harsh industrial environments.
- Multiple Thermocouple Types Support: Configure each channel independently for J, K, T, E, R, S, B, or N thermocouples, or select millivolt input range (0-100mV, 0-50mV, etc.).
- Cold Junction Compensation (CJC): Built-in CJC sensor ensures accurate temperature readings across ambient temperature variations.
- High Resolution & Accuracy: 15-bit resolution plus sign bit for precise signal conversion, with typical accuracy of ±0.1% of full scale.
- Backplane Communication: Directly connects to SLC500 backplane using 5V DC power, no external power supply required.
- LED Status Indicators: Green/red LEDs for module status and channel active indication for easy troubleshooting.
- Software Configurable: Setup is quick via RSLogix 500 or comparable programming software; channel parameters (input type, filter, range) are stored in non-volatile memory.
- Wide Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), suitable for most industrial control cabinets.
