The Allen-Bradley 1791DS-IB8XOBV4 is a DeviceNet Safety CompactBlock input module designed for distributed safety I/O in industrial automation systems. This module combines 8 safety-rated digital inputs (sink/source configurable) with 4 solid-state safety outputs, enabling efficient machine safety control and monitoring. Its DeviceNet interface supports both standard and safety-specific communication protocols, allowing seamless integration into Rockwell Automation GuardLogix or other safety controllers. The 1791DS-IB8XOBV4 is ideal for applications requiring fast response times, high reliability, and compliance with global safety standards. Each input channel features dual-channel monitoring and pulse testing for fault detection, while outputs provide short-circuit and overload protection. The module’s compact form factor (approx. 120 x 80 x 60 mm) and pluggable terminal blocks simplify installation and maintenance. It operates over a wide temperature range (-20°C to +60°C) and is compatible with DeviceNet cables up to 500 meters (thick cable) or 100 meters (thin cable). For safety configuration, use RSNetWorx for DeviceNet or Studio 5000 software. Below are the detailed technical specifications:
