Allen Bradley 1794-IJ2XT Point Input Frequency Module

Description

The Allen‑Bradley 1794‑IJ2XT is a high‑speed frequency input module for the POINT I/O platform. It provides two isolated frequency‑measurement channels designed for harsh‑environment applications, supporting extended‑temperature operation and reliable signal acquisition from tachometers, proximity probes, and pulse‑based sensors.

Hardware Specifications

Functional Description

The 1794‑IJ2XT module provides two high‑speed frequency‑measurement channels for POINT I/O systems. It is designed for pulse‑based sensors such as magnetic pickups, proximity probes, and tachometer devices. As part of the XT (Extended‑Temperature) family, it supports operation in demanding industrial environments where temperature extremes and vibration are present.

Each channel offers isolated frequency acquisition, ensuring stable measurement and noise immunity. The module integrates seamlessly with POINT I/O architectures, enabling distributed high‑speed monitoring for rotating machinery, speed feedback loops, and pulse‑driven process instrumentation.
