In one of our projects, we are utilizing the Allen Bradley DI module 1756-IB32/B. An issue has arisen where some of the input channels are providing 25 VDC instead of the expected 24VDC. This discrepancy is affecting the feedback received. Does anyone have a solution to rectify this problem?
One way to enhance signal transmission is by utilizing interposing relays to connect the incoming signal to the module input. This can help improve the efficiency and reliability of the signal transfer process, ensuring seamless communication between components.
In a project I am working on, we are utilizing the Allen Bradley DI module 1756-IB32/B. An issue has arisen where I am encountering 25 VDC from certain input channels, despite sending only 24VDC to the inputs. This discrepancy is causing a lack of accurate feedback. Does anyone have a solution to address this issue? It is important to ensure that the power source DC common is the same for both inputs and the PLC input module. Additionally, if there is a device sending its own DC signal, it is necessary to connect the commons together for proper functioning.
The 1756-IB32 module has a maximum rating of approximately 30V. Applying 25V to the inputs should not cause any issues, but it is possible that the module is not wired correctly.
It sounds like you might be encountering a slight overvoltage. I'd recommend checking your power supply first - these discrepancies often stem from there. Also, ensure that your wiring is correct and fully isolated, as unwanted noise might be spiking your voltage. If this doesn't do the trick, it may be worthwhile to look into acquiring a voltage regulator to guarantee steady 24VDC output. It's not an uncommon issue, especially in more complex setups, so don't feel discouraged.
It sounds like you might have a calibration issue with your DI module. Even a 1 VDC deviation can significantly distort your feedback. I’ve had a similar problem before and I solved it by resetting the module to its factory settings. If the problem persists, I’d suggest checking your field devices as well because both sensor issues and wiring faults can also lead to incorrect voltage readings. Additionally, ensure that your power supply is stable, because any fluctuations there could impact the output readings of your DI module as well.
