Product Overview: Allen Bradley 1771-IA2 PLC 5 Digital Input Module
The 1771-IA2 is an 8-channel digital input module for the PLC 5 platform. It converts 120V AC/DC field signals into logic levels for the processor. This module directly controls data table bits. It works with pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors. Its design includes optoelectrical isolation and input filtering for electrical noise reduction.
