Engineering Advantages
High-Resolution Current Sourcing
The 1771-NOC specializes in sourcing current up to 25 mA, a range often required for specific pneumatic positioners, valve actuators, and legacy instrumentation. With a resolution of 3.20 µA/bit, the module provides smooth, step-free control signals. This precision minimizes hunting in control valves and ensures accurate positioning in analog loops.
Flexible Data Formatting
This module accommodates different programming strategies by supporting both Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) and Natural Binary data formats. You can select the format that best aligns with your PLC-5 processor's math instructions, simplifying ladder logic development and reducing the need for data conversion rungs.
Robust Backplane Integration
The unit draws significant current from the backplane—up to 3.3 Amps at full load—to drive high-impedance field loads. This internal power handling eliminates the need for complex external power wiring for the output stage. The module pairs with the 1771-WH wiring arm, ensuring secure, vibration-resistant connections to the field side.
FAQs
Q: What is the output signal range of the 1771-NOC?
A: The module sources a current signal ranging from 0 to 25 milliamperes. This is distinct from standard 4-20mA modules, making it suitable for specific devices requiring the extended 0-25mA range.
Q: Which wiring arm do I need for the 1771-NOC?
A: You must use the 1771-WH wiring arm (also known as the RTB or Remote Terminal Block). This arm connects to the back of the module and provides the screw terminals for your field wiring.
Q: Can I use this module for voltage output?
A: No. The 1771-NOC is designed strictly for current sourcing. If you require voltage output (e.g., 0-10V), you should select a different model from the 1771-N series specifically rated for voltage.
Q: How much backplane current does this module consume?
A: The module consumes 2.9 Amps when driving 20 mA per channel and up to 3.3 Amps when driving the full 25 mA per channel. Ensure your 1771 power supply has sufficient capacity to handle this load.

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. As an automation engineer, I frequently see projects compromised by poor cabling choices in harsh industrial environments. This guide simplifies the complex landscape of cabling to help you make informed decisions for your PLC, DCS, and control systems.
