The 1794-IM8 is a 240 Volt AC input module by Allen Bradley, working on a rack-based configuration of modules. This unit belongs to the Flex I/O system and consists of three main parts: a terminal unit, an adapter, and an I/O module. It has dedicated wiring labels to make connections to the main terminal and supports a total of 8 inputs, which support an open style enclosure. A 1794-TBN part will function as the main terminal base, being fed by an input current of 2.6 mA.
It can be installed as a screw mount or a DIN rail mount; measuring only 94 x 94 x 91 millimeters, it is small enough to be easily transported. Additionally, the 1794-IM8 is approved for operation in hazardous locations, often functioning in temperatures between 0 and 55 degrees Celsius.
