Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-IXE is an 8-channel thermocouple/millivolt input module for the PLC-5 platform. It supports E, J, K, T, R, and S type thermocouples with cold junction compensation, delivering 1°C or 1°F temperature resolution and 10 microvolt millivolt resolution for precise process temperature monitoring.
Technical Specs
- Input channels: 8 differential, configurable for thermocouple or millivolt
- Thermocouple types: E, J, K, T, R, S
- Millivolt range: ±100 mV
- Temperature resolution: 1°C or 1°F
- Millivolt resolution: 10 µV
- Cold junction compensation: 0-60 °C range
- Backplane current: 750 mA @ 5 V DC
- Wiring arm: 1771-WI
- Data format: 4-digit BCD, complementary binary, or signed magnitude binary
Key Features
- Mixed input configuration: 4 channels of one type plus 4 of another
- Automatic cold junction compensation for accurate thermocouple readings
- Open-circuit detection for failed thermocouples
- Per-channel automatic offset and gain calibration
- Software calibration eliminates potentiometer adjustments
FAQ
- Which wiring arm is required? The 1771-WI wiring arm is specifically designed for the IXE module.
- Can I mix thermocouple types? Yes, the module allows 4 channels of one input type and 4 of another.
- What happens if a thermocouple fails? The module detects open circuits and reports the fault to the processor.
Installation Guide
- Power down the 1771 I/O chassis.
- Insert the module into any slot except the leftmost.
- Attach the 1771-WI wiring arm.
- Wire thermocouples observing correct polarity; use thermocouple extension wire.
- Configure input types and scaling via block-transfer instructions in the PLC program.
Selection Tips
- Select 1771-IXE for multi-point thermocouple temperature monitoring.
- For RTD sensors, use the 1771-IR module instead.
- Verify chassis power budget: 750 mA backplane current per module.
