Overview of Allen-Bradley 1791-24BR

The Allen-Bradley 1791-24BR is a discontinued Block I/O module from Rockwell Automation, designed for use in the 1791 Discrete Block I/O series. This self-contained remote I/O device integrates a power supply, programmable controller interface, input/output connections, and signal conditioning circuitry into a compact unit. It is currently listed as obsolete by the manufacturer.

Key Features

This module features a mixed I/O configuration with 24 DC inputs and 8 relay outputs. The inputs are organized into three groups of eight, while the outputs are relay-based, allowing for flexible control of various loads. The unit includes status indicators to monitor communication and I/O states, as well as switch assemblies for configuring the I/O rack number, communication rate, and starting I/O group.

Performance and Capacity

The 1791-24BR operates on a 24V DC supply, with an external power requirement of 19.2-30V DC at 300 mA. The 24 DC inputs have an on-state voltage range of 10-30V DC and an off-state voltage maximum of 5V DC. The 8 relay outputs support a voltage range of 20-132V AC with a maximum resistive load of 1A. The module has a maximum power dissipation of 14.5 Watts and a thermal dissipation of 49.4 BTU/hour, with an isolation rating of 500V AC between the power supply, remote I/O, and I/O groups.

Installation and Compatibility

Measuring 6.95 x 4.35 x 3.85 inches and weighing approximately 1.75 lbs, the module is designed for DIN rail mounting, with a recommendation for vertical installation. It is compatible with PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5/250, and PLC-5 family programmable controllers, as well as SLC 5/02 modular controllers. Terminal strips on the left and right sides accommodate remote I/O link, input/output connections, and power.

Applications and Industries

As a discrete Block I/O module, the 1791-24BR is suitable for industrial automation applications requiring remote I/O expansion for legacy Allen-Bradley PLC systems. It is commonly used in machine control and process automation environments where 24V DC input sensing and relay output control are required for discrete devices.
