These new powerful modules provide ControlLogix PLCs with full analog capability and the benefit of HART (highway addressable remote transducer) protocol in one I/O module. The 1756sc-IF8H and 1756sc-OF8H Analog I/O Modules maximize I/O performance by combining real-time HART data acquisition in conjunction with standard analog acquisition and control—at a fraction of the cost.

Each module also acts as a HART master, allowing communication with HART field devices. Field devices may be interfaced directly to the module, eliminating the expense of additional external HART bridge devices or hand-held communicators. When used in conjunction with an asset management system (AMS), the 1756sc-IF8H and 1756sc-OF8H provide configuration, calibration, diagnostics and troubleshooting of smart field devices from a desktop PC. This ability can increase product quality and minimize unplanned downtime, while improving the productivity and profitability of the process.

The 1756sc-IF8H and 1756sc-OF8H Analog I/O Modules with HART Protocol reduce wiring and simplify maintenance. Setup is convenient and easy with support from RSLogix 5000 programming software. The result is maximum data access with a low total cost-of-ownership.
