Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S

The Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S is a sophisticated Compact 5000 Safety sinking input module. It is a robust, versatile, and secure safety input module, ideally suited for a wide range of industrial applications requiring high safety standards and reliable performance.

Technical Specifications:

Operating within a voltage range of 10-32VDC, the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S is designed for flexibility and reliability.

It is an integral component for ensuring safety in automation systems, featuring eight sinking input channels that accommodate a signal voltage range of 18-32VDC. It is specifically engineered for applications up to and including Category 3 Safety Integrity Level (SIL), providing a reliable solution for safety-critical environments.

Equipped with two test output channels and an additional two test output/muting output channels, the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S offers comprehensive testing and control capabilities.

The Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S supports a Safety Application (SA) power passthrough capacity of up to 5 A at 79…264V AC, with a consumption of 100 mA within the same voltage range. For modular power, it allows a passthrough maximum of 5 A at 18…32V DC, while the module itself requires 75 mA at this voltage range.

Each input channel is rated at 2.5 mA, ensuring efficient signal detection and processing. The test output channels are robust and capable of handling up to 200 mA per channel.

Mounting Instructions:

Begin by selecting a suitable location within your control system’s panel, ensuring that it is close to the controller. The module can be mounted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation, allowing flexibility to fit within various enclosure configurations.

Before starting the installation, ensure that the mounting surface is clean and free of any debris or obstructions. Secure the mounting bracket or DIN rail firmly to the chosen surface. The Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S is designed to be installed on a standard DIN rail.

Once the mounting surface is prepared, position the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S onto the DIN rail or bracket. Engage the module by pressing it gently but firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure the locking mechanism on the module engages appropriately, providing a secure fit.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting:

Begin by scheduling periodic visual inspections of the module to check for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks, loose connections, or any corrosion on the connectors. Ensure that the module is clean and free of dust or debris, which could potentially interfere with its operation.

It is also crucial to regularly verify the integrity of the electrical connections. Ensure that all terminal screws and wiring connections are tight and secure, as loose connections can lead to intermittent faults or failures.

If the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S continues to exhibit problems after these checks, it may be necessary to replace it. Before removing the module, ensure that the power is turned off to prevent any risk of electrical shock or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the maximum output current capacity of the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S for each channel and each group?

The Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S can handle a maximum output of 1.2 A per group, with each channel supporting up to 0.3 A. This ensures sufficient power delivery and operational stability for various applications.

What is the isolation voltage of the Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S?
