Description

The Allen-Bradley 1794-IRT8 FLEX I/O Thermocouple/RTD Input Analog Module is an 8-channel temperature input module for the FLEX I/O 1794 series remote I/O platform from Rockwell Automation. It provides high-accuracy temperature measurement by accepting signals from thermocouples, RTD sensors, and millivolt sources, allowing integration of temperature monitoring devices into Allen-Bradley PLC and control systems.

The module converts low-level analog temperature signals into digital data and communicates with the controller through a FLEX I/O adapter. It supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections, thermocouple inputs, and mV measurement applications. The 1794-IRT8 is commonly used in process control, machine automation, furnace systems, HVAC monitoring, and industrial temperature measurement applications.

The Allen-Bradley 1794-IRT8 is a Flex I/O combination module. This module supports both RTD and Thermocouple sensors. It has Eight (8) channels in Two (2) groups of Four (4) with nominal input ranges of -40…100 mV dc for thermocouples for Thermocouple and 0…325 mV for RTDs for RTD. This module has a resolution of 14 bits. The 1794-IRT8 module is an Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O millivolt, thermocouple, and RTD module. In a FLEX I/O system, the 1794-IRT8 module is connected to a terminal base and a power adapter.

The Allen-Bradley 1794-IRT8 is shipped with 2 cold junction compensators. This cold junction compensator increases the accuracy of the module for Thermocouple mode. 1794-IRT8 module has a nominal voltage rating of 24 Volts DC and 8 analog inputs. It can connect to up to 8 RTD or thermocouple inputs. The front panel of the 1794-IRT8 module has a nameplate that identifies the module, a removable label that the users can customize, a keyswitch position indicator, and LED status indicators.

The 1794-IRT8 Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O INPUT MODULE may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The module accepts up to eight thermocouple or RTD inputs. The inputs are nonisolated and areselected with analog multiplexers. The inputs accept millivolt or resistive inputs. Default inputspans are -40.00 mV… +100.00 mV or 0.0…500.0 Ω. Fault indicators are located field side.No switches or jumpers are used on the TC and RTD Input module. The inputs have both fixedhardware filters and selectable firmware digital filters
  • Process Manufacturing:Precise heat regulation for kilns/ovens/furnaces quality
  • Energy & Power:Gas turbine exhaust & boiler temp tracking
  • Machinery & Equipment:Prevents diesel engine/compressor overheating.
  • Oil, Gas, & Chemical:Piping/reactor temps in hazardous areas (FLEX I/O XT)

Thermocouple Configurations: Attach the two provided 1794-CJC2 cold junction compensator sensors to the base terminals to actively adjust for localized temperature drifts. Use appropriate shielded thermocouple extension wire.
RTD Configurations: The hardware supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD options. For 3-wire variants, route the matching compensated leads directly to the dedicated return pins.
Millivolt (mV) Signals: Use high-quality shielded twisted-pair wiring (such as Belden 8761) to minimize industrial electromagnetic noise interference.

Technical notes

The 1794-IRT8 mounts on 1794-TB3G, 1794-TB3GS, or 1794-TB3GK terminal base units and communicates with the controller via the FlexBus backplane. It requires an external 24 V DC power supply (95 mA) and draws 40 mA from the FlexBus. Maximum power dissipation is 3.0 W at 31.2 V DC. The module supports Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) for maintenance without system shutdown.

FAQs

  • What is the 1794-IRT8?

    +
    The Allen-Bradley 1794-IRT8 is an 8-channel, non-isolated thermocouple, RTD, and millivolt input module used in FLEX I/O systems.
  • What are the primary input capabilities of the module?

    +
    The module features 8 analog inputs divided into two isolated groups of four channels each. It handles nominal input voltage ranges from -40 to 100 mV DC for thermocouples and 0 to 325 mV for RTD sensors.
  • Which terminal base units are compatible with the module?

    +
    It mounts onto 1794-TB3G, 1794-TB3GS, and 1794-TB3GK terminal base units.
  • Does the module utilize electrical isolation?

    +
    Yes, it features a continuous isolation voltage rating of 50V (Basic Insulation Type) between the field side and the system backplane.
  • What is the maximum current limit allowed through the terminal base?

    +
    The total current draw passed through any single terminal base unit is strictly capped at 10 A. If your configuration draws more, you must isolate the lines and utilize separate power connections.
