Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-NR is a high-resolution isolated analog input module engineered for PLC-5 and Allen-Bradley 1771 Series I/O systems. This module provides precise analog signal acquisition with galvanic isolation, protecting your control logic from electrical noise and ground loop interference commonly found in industrial environments. The 1771-NR is ideal for temperature sensing, pressure monitoring, and other analog measurement applications requiring high fidelity and noise immunity.
Key Features
