The 1762-IR4 module provides four analog input channels that can accept voltage and current input signals. It supports a wide range of input signal types, including voltage (±10V), current (4-20 mA), and thermocouples (Types J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N). Each channel has independent filtering and signal conditioning options to ensure accurate and reliable input data.

The module communicates with the PLC using a dedicated backplane connection and is configured and controlled through the programming software of the MicroLogix PLC. It provides 12-bit resolution for analog inputs, allowing for precise measurement and control of analog signals.

The 1762-IR4 module is commonly used in industrial automation applications where analog input signals need to be monitored and processed by a PLC. It can be used in various industries such as manufacturing, process control, and machinery control systems.
