Genuine Allen-Bradley 1746SC-IA8I Isolated Input Module | SLC 500 Series – Verified Source
The Allen-Bradley 1746SC-IA8I is a safety-rated isolated AC input module within Rockwell Automation’s SLC 500 platform — one of the most widely deployed programmable logic controller families in global industrial automation. Its channel-to-channel isolation architecture makes it indispensable in high-noise environments such as power generation, heavy manufacturing, and process control. Due to its critical role in safety-critical systems and the complexity of its internal isolation circuitry, the 1746SC-IA8I is a frequent target for counterfeit reproduction and grey-market substitution. Buyers sourcing from unverified channels risk receiving modules with degraded isolation ratings, non-compliant firmware, or outright non-functional units — all of which pose serious operational and safety risks.
At Konmask, every Allen-Bradley 1746SC-IA8I we supply is sourced through verified distribution channels and subjected to our multi-step authentication protocol before shipment. We stock only genuine, authentic Allen-Bradley hardware — never refurbished-as-new or third-party clones. Our verified sourcing process, combined with full documentation availability (Certificate of Conformance, test reports, packing lists, and Country of Origin declarations), gives procurement engineers and maintenance teams the confidence to specify Konmask as a trusted supply partner for critical automation components.

Our 4-Step Quality Verification Process
Every 1746SC-IA8I shipped by Konmask passes through the following verification stages:
- Step 1 — Visual & Marking Authentication: Physical inspection of label printing, part number engraving, date codes, and housing mold quality against known-genuine reference units. Counterfeit modules frequently exhibit label misalignment, incorrect font weight, or absent holographic elements.
- Step 2 — Functional Bench Test: Each module is powered up in a live SLC 500 chassis. All 8 input channels are individually stimulated at rated voltage (120 VAC) and verified for correct ON/OFF state transitions and response time within Allen-Bradley specification windows.
- Step 3 — Isolation Integrity Test: Channel-to-channel isolation is verified using a calibrated hi-pot tester at 250 VAC. Any module failing isolation thresholds is immediately quarantined and rejected.
- Step 4 — Documentation Package Assembly: Upon passing all tests, a complete documentation package is prepared: Certificate of Conformance (COC), functional test report, high-resolution photos of the physical unit, packing list, and Country of Origin (COO) declaration. All documents are available upon request prior to or at time of shipment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Full Channel-to-Channel Isolation: Each of the 8 inputs is individually isolated at 250 VAC continuous, eliminating ground loop interference in multi-source AC input applications — compliant with IEC 61131-2 Type 1 input requirements.
- Wide AC Input Range: Accepts 74–132 VAC across the full 47–63 Hz frequency band, providing robust compatibility with global power infrastructure without additional signal conditioning.
- SLC 500 Native Compatibility: Plug-and-play integration with all 1746 chassis configurations; no special firmware or configuration files required beyond standard RSLogix 500 I/O configuration.
- High Noise Immunity: Designed to IEC 61000-4 EMC immunity standards, making it suitable for deployment adjacent to variable frequency drives, large motor starters, and welding equipment.
- Low Off-State Leakage: Maximum 2.5 mA off-state current prevents false triggering from leakage current in long cable runs — critical for reliable operation in field-wired installations per NFPA 79 panel wiring practices.
- Proven Field Reliability: The 1746SC series has accumulated decades of documented field service in continuous-process industries, with MTBF data published in Rockwell Automation reliability documentation.
Typical Applications
- Power Generation: Monitoring isolated AC status signals from generator protection relays, breaker auxiliary contacts, and transformer tap position indicators where ground potential differences exist between signal sources.
- Oil & Gas Processing: Reading field instrument status (pressure switch, level switch, flow switch) in installations where intrinsic safety barriers or galvanic isolators are used upstream of the PLC input.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Acquiring pump run/fault status and valve position feedback in wet environments where multiple earthing points create ground loop risk.
- Automotive Assembly: Interfacing with 120 VAC safety mat, light curtain, and emergency stop relay outputs in body-in-white and paint shop automation lines.
- Food & Beverage: Capturing AC status signals from washdown-rated sensors and solenoid valve feedback contacts in hygienic processing areas with stainless steel enclosures and isolated bonding.
- Building Automation & HVAC: Reading AC control signals from legacy HVAC equipment, damper actuators, and chiller status contacts integrated into SLC 500-based building management systems.
