Allen-Bradley 1794-OF8IH Technical Overview and Engineering Guide
1. Product Introduction
The 1794-OF8IH is an 8-channel isolated FLEX I/O analog output module with HART communication capability designed for distributed industrial automation systems.
It is used to convert digital control signals into precise analog current outputs, typically in the range of 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA. Each channel is electrically isolated, allowing stable operation in environments with electrical noise, ground potential differences, or long-distance signal transmission.
The module also supports HART communication, enabling advanced diagnostics and smart field device integration in process automation systems.
