Description

The Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S FLEX I/O Terminal Base Unit is a field wiring base used with the Rockwell Automation FLEX I/O platform. It provides mechanical support for compatible I/O modules, electrical termination for field wiring, and communication through the integrated FLEXBus backplane. The spring-clamp terminal design simplifies installation and maintenance by allowing quick insertion and secure retention of conductors without terminal screws.

The terminal base includes 16 I/O terminals, 18 common terminals, and 18 power terminals, making it suitable for applications using 3-wire digital input devices such as proximity sensors, limit switches, and photoelectric sensors. Because field wiring remains connected to the base, compatible FLEX I/O modules can be replaced without disturbing external wiring, helping reduce maintenance time and improve system availability.

The Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S is a FLEX I/O Terminal Base Unit for the Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O distributed I/O platform. The Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S serves as the mechanical and electrical foundation for mounting FLEX I/O modules, providing terminal connection points for field wiring and contributing to the formation of the FLEXBUS backplane. The Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S is a spring clamp version of the 1794-TB3 terminal base, offering faster and simpler wire installation while maintaining identical module compatibility and terminal mapping.

The terminal configuration of the Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S includes three separate terminal strips with a total of 36 spring clamp terminals. The top terminal strip of the Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S contains sixteen I/O terminals designated for wiring of input and output signals (positions 0–15). The middle terminal strip of the Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S contains eighteen common terminals (positions 16–33), with –V Common located at terminals B-16 and B-33. The bottom terminal strip of the Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3S contains eighteen voltage terminals (positions 34–51), with +V (Voltage In) located at terminals C-34 and C-51.

The 1794-TB3S Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O Terminal Base Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Prepare the DIN Rail: Ensure your DIN rail is securely installed. For high-vibration environments, use DIN rail locks (catalog number 1492-EA35) at each end.
Engage the Base: Hook the terminal base over the top of the 35 x 7.5mm DIN rail.Lock in Place: Rotate the base down until it snaps onto the rail. Ensure the base is firmly pushed into the adjacent unit (or FLEX I/O Adapter) to properly connect the FlexBus backplane communication.
Set the Key Switch: Rotate the keyswitch on the terminal base to match the specific I/O module being inserted to ensure proper alignment and prevent incorrect module insertion.

Technical notes

The spring clamp designed for this terminal unit allows for easy assembly and wire connections, accommodating a wire size range of 22 to 12 AWG. This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of wiring needs. In terms of environmental tolerance, the 1794-TB3S operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20 to 70 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, it can be safely stored at temperatures from -20 to 85 degrees Celsius, making it resilient in varying operational conditions.

FAQs
