PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-IGC is a PLC-5 TTL Input Module designed for industrial logic processing. This unit converts external direct-current signals into processor-compatible logic levels. It directly updates corresponding bit states within the controller data table. The hardware features eight discrete input circuits supporting five-volt direct-current TTL voltage standards.
A 1771-WC wiring arm attaches to the chassis to simplify module replacement. This design eliminates the requirement to disconnect field signal wiring during maintenance. Internal optoelectrical isolation protects system circuitry from transient electrical noise and surges. Front panel indicators display active input status for immediate diagnostic feedback.
