Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16V High Resolution Analog Input Module – Voltage | SLC 500 Series

Technical Dossier

Product Details And Specifications

The Allen-Bradley 1746-NI16V is a 16-channel, high-resolution analog voltage input module designed for the SLC 500 programmable controller platform — one of the most widely deployed legacy PLC architectures in discrete manufacturing, oil & gas processing, and metals & mining operations worldwide. As Rockwell Automation has progressively migrated its portfolio toward the ControlLogix and CompactLogix families, the 1746-NI16V has entered a phase of constrained availability: it is no longer in active production, yet hundreds of thousands of SLC 500 racks remain in service globally with no near-term migration budget.

Procurement Specifications

Q: How are RFQ terms confirmed?
A: Quantity, required condition, documentation needs, destination and sourcing route are confirmed during RFQ review before quotation.

Q: Can you support multi-unit or repeat RFQ requests?
A: Yes. Send the model list, target quantity and destination so DRIVEKNMS can review sourcing options and quote the requirement as a project RFQ.

Every 1746-NI16V unit shipped by DriveKNMS undergoes a documented inspection process covering visual integrity, connector condition, firmware label verification, and functional bench testing where applicable. We do not ship untested or cosmetically damaged units without explicit buyer acknowledgment.

Part Number Verification & Cross-Reference: Misidentification of SLC 500 analog modules is a common and costly procurement error. Our technical team verifies catalog numbers, revision levels, and firmware compatibility before dispatch review. We proactively flag incompatible substitutions — a service that has saved clients from costly installation failures.

Q: How are commercial terms confirmed?
A: Commercial terms are confirmed during RFQ review based on model, quantity, destination, documentation and sourcing route.

Q: How do I confirm compatibility with my existing SLC 500 rack?
A: The 1746-NI16V is compatible with all SLC 500 fixed and modular chassis. It requires SLC 5/02 processor or higher (OS302 or later) for full functionality. Our technical team can confirm compatibility based on your processor catalog number and OS version.
