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
Evolving SCADA System Architectures in Industrial Automation
A robust Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system serves as the heartbeat of modern industrial operations. Understanding SCADA system architecture is vital for engineers designing efficient control systems. These architectures have evolved from isolated, monolithic structures to highly interconnected, networked ecosystems. Choosing the right design requires balancing data visibility, processing power, and long-term scalability requirements.
Choosing the Right Controller: PLC vs. Motion Controller in Industrial Automation
Selecting the optimal control architecture is a foundational decision in industrial automation. Engineers must frequently choose between a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a dedicated Motion Controller. While both systems manage machinery, their underlying design philosophies differ significantly, impacting performance, scalability, and system integration.
Mastering PLC Power Supply Architectures and Operating Voltages
Selecting the correct operating voltage is a critical step in designing reliable industrial automation systems. Whether you are working with a compact PLC or a large-scale DCS, your power architecture dictates the system's longevity.
