Allen-Bradley 1756-IF16H Interface Module
The Allen-Bradley 1756-IF16H is an 8-channel interface module belonging to the ControlLogix family by Rockwell Automation. However, unlike other interface modules in the 1756 series, the 1756-IF16H doesn't directly handle analog or digital input/output signals. Instead, it acts as a bridge between the ControlLogix controller and other modules that use a specific interface called High-Speed Backplane (HSB). Here's a breakdown of its specifications, features, and applications:Function:Connects ControlLogix controllers to modules using the HSB interface.Provides high-speed communication between the controller and HSB modules.Allows for expansion of the ControlLogix system with HSB-based modules.Key Features:HSB interface: Connects to HSB modules for high-speed communication.8 HSB channels: Supports up to 8 HSB modules.High-speed communication: Data transfer rates up to 100 MB/s.Transparent communication: Allows the controller to treat HSB modules as local I/O.Diagnostic indicators: LEDs p
