Description

The Allen-Bradley 1771-NIS is an I/O module which belongs to the 1771-N high resolution I/O module series. It is equipped with 8 current input channels rated for 4-20mA. The 1771-NIS module provides power for the input circuit loops. The current drawn by the 1771-NIS from the I/O chassis backplane is 2.4A and the total power dissipated is 12W. The 1771-NIS interfaces with PLC-5/250, PLC-3 and PLC-5 controllers.

The current range supported by the 1771-NIS’s input channels is 0.1 – 21mA. The resolution for the input channels is 330nA/bit (at 16 bits unipolar) with the impedance at the input being a maximum of 300ohm. The module-supplied loop power is 20 – 30V DC (0 to 20mA range). The 1771-NIS module needs a maximum of 5s to detect an open input circuit and it provides 24V DC overvoltage protection. A range of 50 dB to 60 dB provides the values for normal mode rejection whereas the typical common mode rejection is 150 dB. The value for the offset drift is ±200nA/°C whereas the value for the gain drift is ±95 ppm/°C. The update time per module is a maximum of 25s and the bandwidth range at input channels is 9 Hz. The under-range and over-range limit values are 3.2mA and 21mA, respectively. The values for the 1771-NIS’s input channel calibration are 1 mA / 21 mA.

The Allen-Bradley 1771-NIS/C PLC-5 Series Sinking/Sourcing Input Module is a 16-point DC digital input module used within the 1771 I/O platform. It interfaces field devices such as proximity switches, pushbuttons, selector switches, limit switches, and photoelectric sensors with PLC-5 controllers.

Designed to accept DC input signals in the 10–30 VDC range, the module provides reliable signal acquisition and electrical isolation between the field wiring and the controller backplane. Its compatibility with both sinking and sourcing devices simplifies integration into diverse control architectures.

The module includes LED status indicators for each channel, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify signal conditions and troubleshoot field wiring issues. The optically isolated design enhances protection against electrical noise, transient voltages, and ground potential differences.

The 1771-NIS/C Allen-Bradley PLC 5 series sinking/sourcing input module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Wiring Arm: Connect your devices to the 1771-WG or 1771-WH field wiring arm. This arm pivots upward, letting you remove the module without disconnecting any wires. 
Shielding: Ground cable shields properly to protect against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Tape exposed shields and drain wires with electrical tape, or attach a ground lug with heat shrink tubing to prevent accidental electrical contact. 
Unused Channels: Jumper all unused channels to the module common to significantly reduce signal noise. 

Technical notes

Input delay times are 1 ms typical and 4 ms maximum for both off-to-on and on-to-off transitions. The module mounts in standard 1771 I/O chassis and communicates with the PLC-5 processor via the 1771 I/O backplane. The 1771-NIS/C operates in temperatures from 0 to 60°C and carries UL, cULus, CSA, and CE certifications. Typical applications include general-purpose digital input interfacing for machine control, material handling, and process control systems using the PLC-5 platform.
