The preceding diagram breaks apart the Catalog Numbers for a ControlLogix digital input module with 16 channels and built-in diagnostics.
The bulletin number is a four-digit identifier for the Logix controller family. ControlLogix will begin with the 1756 bulletin number, the SoftLogix modules begin with the 1789 bulletin number, and CompactLogix will begin with the 1769 or 1768 bulletin numbers.
The module type is the second part of the Rockwell Automation module Catalog Numbers. Types that begin with I
are input cards and types that begin with O
are output cards. Let's take a look at a few sample types for commonly used modules. Digital input types are usually IQ
or IG
for VDC and IA
or IM
for VAC. Analog input types are typically IF
, IR
, or IT
. Digital output types are generally...
