Product Overview

Allen-Bradley modules, manufactured by Rockwell Automation, are essential components of industrial automation systems. These modules serve as the interface between a control system (like a PLC) and various field 

devices, such as sensors, actuators, and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). They enable data acquisition, control, and communication within industrial processes.

Product Parameters

The specific parameters of an Allen-Bradley module vary widely depending on its type and function. Common parameters include:

• I/O type: Digital, analog, or specialized (e.g., temperature, pressure)

• Voltage: Input and output voltage ranges

• Current: Maximum current rating

• Communication protocol: EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, etc.

• Number of channels: The number of individual inputs or outputs

• Mounting type: Din rail, panel mount, etc.

Product Advantages

• Reliability: Allen-Bradley modules are known for their ruggedness and reliability, designed to withstand harsh industrial environments.

• Flexibility: A wide range of modules is available to accommodate various applications and requirements.
