Wiring Systems

Make connections to Allen-Bradley I/O easier with preconfigured wiring systems. Wiring systems are available for over 100 different I/O modules and over 50 analog modules. Wiring systems are available for digital and analog I/O modules in these I/O families:

• Interface modules provide output terminals for I/O modules and use pre-wired cables.
  
• PanelConnect modules connect sensors directly to I/O modules with pre-built cables and connectors.
  

Current wiring systems include:

• 1746 I/O for SLC controllers
  
• 1756 I/O for ControlLogix controllers
  
• 1769 I/O for Compact for CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers
  
• 1771 I/O for PLC-5 controllers

As an alternative to buying RTBs and connecting the wires yourself, you can buy a wiring system of:

• interface modules (IFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for digital I/O modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the IFM.
  
• analog interface modules (AIFMs) that provide the output terminal blocks for analog I/O modules. Use the pre-wired cables that match the I/O module to the AIFM.
  
• I/O module-ready cables. One end of the cable assembly is an RTB that plugs into the front of the I/O module. The other end has individually color-coded conductors that connect to a standard terminal block.

PanelConnect Modules



A PanelConnect module and its sensor connection system connect sensors directly to I/O modules using convenient pre-built cables and connectors.

The PanelConnect module mounts on the enclosure and creates the correct seal for the entry of the sensor connections. You do not need to seal the opening where the sensor cables enter the enclosure, create custom connectors, or wire to those custom connectors.
