Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1756-IG16 is a TTL digital input module designed for the ControlLogix 1756 chassis-based control system. This 16-point 5VDC module provides reliable digital input acquisition with TTL (low-true) logic levels, making it suitable for sensors and discrete signal sources operating in the 0–5V range. The module features integrated diagnostic capabilities and operates from 0°C to 60°C, supporting demanding industrial automation and motion control applications.
