1792D-16BVT0CD | Allen-Bradley ArmorBlock MaXum I/O Module - Petro Auto Tech

Product Overview

The 1792D-16BVT0CD is a high-performance I/O module from Allen-Bradley, part of the ArmorBlock MaXum series (Bulletin 1792D product line). Designed for demanding industrial environments, this module offers 16 inputs and operates on 24 Volts DC, communicating seamlessly through the DeviceNet network. Its sealed housing eliminates the need for a protective enclosure, making it a robust choice for decentralized automation.

Technical Specifications Analysis

The 1792D-16BVT0CD features 16 inputs per module, with flexible input configurations: 3 to 16 inputs per block for wire or dry contact PNP or NPN devices, and 4 to 8 inputs for PNP or NPN devices. Key electrical specs include an on-state voltage range of 10 to 25 Volts DC and an on-state current of 2 to 10 milli Amps. The off-state voltage is 5 Volts DC with an off-state current of 1.5 milli Amps. Sensor source current per input is 50 milli Amps. Communication rate ranges from 125 to 500 kilobytes per second. The module operates reliably in temperatures from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius (-13 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) and stores safely at -25 to 80 degrees Celsius (-13 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit). Wiring supports 14 to 22 AWG with insulation.

Application Scenarios & Usage Methods

This module excels in decentralized control systems, such as conveyor lines in automotive assembly plants. Connect up to 16 sensors per block to monitor part presence or position, using DeviceNet for real-time data exchange. In packaging machinery, wire PNP or NPN dry contact devices to the 1792D-16BVT0CD for precise start/stop commands. The module's diagnostic capabilities, accessible via Y splitter cables, help quickly identify short circuits or open wires, minimizing downtime.

Installation Guide & Packing List

Mount the 1792D-16BVT0CD securely in a clean, dry location within its operating temperature range. Use 14 to 22 AWG insulated wiring for connections. Ensure DeviceNet network termination is correct. The packing list typically includes: one 1792D-16BVT0CD I/O module, mounting hardware, and a product manual. No additional cables or connectors are included.

Purchasing Advice

When selecting the 1792D-16BVT0CD, verify your network requires DeviceNet and your sensor types match the input configuration (PNP or NPN). This module supports 16 inputs, ideal for medium-density I/O needs. For reliable supply, consider Petro Auto Tech, an industrial automation parts supplier with genuine Allen-Bradley products.

Repair & Maintenance Tips

Regularly inspect the sealed housing for cracks or damage. Clean the module with a dry cloth; avoid solvents. Check wiring for wear and ensure connections remain tight. Store the module in its original packaging at temperatures between -25 and 80 degrees Celsius. Test diagnostic features periodically to catch faults early.
