Product Details
Product Description
The 1746-NO8V is a high-density analog voltage output module engineered for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 ecosystem, providing eight single-ended channels for precise control of actuators and drives. This module supports a wide output range of -10V to +10V DC with 14-bit resolution, featuring 500V DC isolation to protect backplane integrity from field-side electrical noise. Designed for flexibility, it installs into any available 1746 chassis slot (excluding slot 0) and utilizes an external 24V DC power source to optimize thermal management and backplane power consumption.

Application and Comparison
The 1746-NO8V is the primary solution for high-density voltage applications within the SLC 500 line. Compared to the 4-channel 1746-NO4V, this module doubles the control density in a single slot, making it ideal for large-scale PID loops and complex modulation tasks. For optimal signal stability, engineers should utilize shielded twisted-pair cabling such as Belden 8761 and ensure proper grounding with a 1/4 inch braid.
FAQ
What is the maximum current the backplane provides to this module?The 1746-NO8V draws a maximum of 120 mA from the 5V DC backplane; however, the actual analog output power is derived from the external 24V DC supply.
Does this module support current (mA) output?No, the 1746-NO8V is dedicated to voltage signals. If 4-20mA control is required, the 1746-NO8I (Current Version) or 1746-NO4I should be utilized.

Tech & Buying Guide
Strategic Selection: Choosing the Right SCADA Software for Your PLC Project
In industrial automation, the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system acts as the bridge between raw machine data and actionable human intelligence. Selecting the incorrect software platform can lead to integration bottlenecks, scalability issues, and excessive long-term maintenance costs. As an automation consultant with 15 years of experience, I have guided many projects through the selection process. Below are the essential criteria for choosing a platform that ensures both performance and longevity.
Ensuring Operational Continuity: The Strategic Value of Redundant Automation Systems
In modern industrial landscapes, unplanned downtime is the ultimate adversary. For sectors relying on complex PLC and DCS architectures, a single hardware failure can trigger catastrophic production losses. Therefore, implementing redundant automation systems is no longer a luxury; it is a fundamental requirement for mission-critical operations. In this article, I analyze why redundancy remains the backbone of reliable industrial infrastructure.
Selecting the Right Cables for Industrial Automation: A Comprehensive Guide
Selecting the appropriate cabling infrastructure is critical for the success of any industrial automation project. Improper cable selection often leads to signal degradation, system instability, and costly downtime.
