Allen-Bradley 5094-IF8 FLEX 5000 Analog Input Module

Allen-Bradley 5094-IF8 FLEX 5000 Analog Input Module

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 5094-IF8 FLEX 5000 Analog Input Module is an 8-channel analog input module designed for FLEX 5000 EtherNet/IP distributed I/O systems from Rockwell Automation. It supports both voltage and current analog signals and is used to collect data from field devices such as transmitters, sensors, and industrial instruments for PLC control systems.

The module provides 8 single-ended, non-isolated analog input channels and can be configured through Studio 5000 Logix Designer software.
