Product Overview
Plant engineers often need to bring multiple voltage-based field signals into a CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500 system without adding rack space. The Allen-Bradley 1769-IF16V solves that problem. It is a Compact I/O analog input module with sixteen single-ended voltage channels, built by Rockwell Automation.
This module accepts ±10V, 0-10V, 0-5V, and 1-5V signals. A Sigma-Delta analog-to-digital converter delivers 16-bit resolution in unipolar mode and 15 bits plus sign in bipolar mode. With a single slot width, the 1769-IF16V packs sixteen channels into one Compact I/O position.

Where the 1769-IF16V Fits
Voltage input modules suit applications where transmitters, position sensors, or analog setpoints output a voltage signal. In oil and gas, this module can monitor pressure and level variables from field devices. In water treatment, it can read flow and tank level signals. In factory automation, it can capture speed or position feedback from drives.
Because the 1769-IF16V supports four voltage ranges, one module can serve mixed signal types across a single machine or process area. That reduces spare-part variety and simplifies panel design.

Installation and Setup
The 1769-IF16V mounts on a DIN rail or directly to an enclosure subpanel. It connects to the CompactLogix bus through side bus connectors. Align the pins with the adjacent module to maintain bus continuity. The module has a power supply distance rating of eight, so it can sit up to eight modules from the power supply. Compatible power supplies include 1769-PA2, 1769-PB2, 1769-PA4, and 1769-PB4.
Use Belden 8761 shielded cable for analog signal wiring. The removable terminal block makes field wiring easier during commissioning or replacement. Channel diagnostics report over-range or under-range conditions by bit, and process alarms help operators catch signal faults early.
Buyer Checklist
Before ordering, confirm your controller platform supports Compact I/O. Verify that your field devices output voltage signals within the ranges listed above. Check that your panel has one free slot and that the power supply distance rating fits your layout.
