Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1492-AIFM16-F-5 analog interface module delivers 16 independent fusible analog input channels in a compact, DIN-rail mountable form factor. This wiring module integrates seamlessly into industrial automation control cabinets, providing safe analog signal conditioning with built-in blown fuse indicators and individual fuse protection per input channel. The module supports 10–30 VDC operation, making it compatible with standard industrial power supplies and redundant control architectures.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Verify compatibility with your system integrator before ordering. The 1492-AIFM16-F-5 is a legacy fusible module; modern ControlLogix systems typically use 1756-IA16 or 1756-IA32 solid-state input modules. Consult your PLC documentation or Rockwell’s cross-reference guide to confirm suitable replacements for your specific application.
