As a professional supplier, Feimu Technology has been deeply involved in the field of industrial control spare parts. We have recently launched the Allen Bradley 1762-IR4 - it is an RTD/resistance input module exclusive to the MicroLogix series, specifically designed to address the issues of inaccurate temperature and resistance detection and unstable signals in industrial environments. We understand that even the slightest deviation in temperature and resistance parameters on the production line can affect product quality. Therefore, we strictly control the quality of this module throughout the process.
Our tests have shown that the 1762-IR4 module has extremely strong compatibility. It is mainly compatible with the Allen Bradley MicroLogix 1100/1200/1400 series PLCs. It is an ideal expansion module for this series of PLCs, and can seamlessly connect without complex modifications. The installation method is also very convenient. It supports DIN rail or panel installation, and can be directly installed on the right side of the controller. It is small in size and does not occupy too much space in the control cabinet. Even novice engineers can complete the installation quickly.
As a supplier specializing in industrial control, we are well aware of the pain points in on-site installation. Therefore, the wiring design of this module is also very user-friendly. It adopts a screw wiring method, which ensures a firm connection and is not prone to loosening. At the same time, it reserves sufficient operation space, and the insertion and removal of cables are very convenient, significantly saving installation and debugging time.

We have disassembled and tested it ourselves. The module uses high-quality circuit boards with compact and orderly component arrangement. The key chips have been reinforced, and some large electrolytic capacitors are fixed with glue, which can effectively prevent contact failures caused by vibration. Even in a high-frequency vibration environment in the workshop, it can operate stably. The gold fingers of the back bus interface on the module have a thick coating, and after insertion into the frame, they fit tightly, ensuring extremely strong electrical conductivity reliability.
Its anti-interference ability is also very excellent. It has an inter-channel isolation function, which can effectively avoid detection deviations caused by signal interference. At the same time, it supports automatic calibration. When a channel is enabled or its configuration is changed, it will automatically calibrate to ensure detection accuracy. The shell is made of industrial-grade materials, which can adapt to industrial environments of 0-55℃, dustproof and moisture-proof, and is fully compatible with the harsh working conditions of the workshop with frequent oil and dust. The products we supply are all brand new and have stable performance and a long service life.
Based on our practical experience, the Allen Bradley 1762-IR4 module has an extremely wide range of applications. The most common scenarios include temperature measurement and resistance detection, such as temperature monitoring in food and beverage production lines, resistance detection in water treatment systems, temperature control in automotive manufacturing conveyor lines, and equipment resistance monitoring in textile factories and printing factories.
As long as there is a need for RTD sensors or resistance input detection, and it is compatible with the MicroLogix series PLC, this module is the first choice. It can accurately collect temperature and resistance signals, convert analog signals into digital signals and transmit them to the PLC, providing precise data support for equipment control. At the same time, the product is affordable in price and has high cost-effectiveness.
Q: Does the Allen Bradley 1762-IR4 require an additional power supply?
A: No, it doesn't need an external power supply. It is powered by the expansion bus of the MicroLogix series PLC. The wiring is done using screws, which is simple to operate and even beginners can quickly get the hang of it. We will also provide simple wiring instructions.
Q: Which types of RTD sensors are supported?
A: We support various types of RTD sensors such as platinum, copper, nickel, nickel-iron, etc. Both 2-wire, 3-wire and 4-wire RTD sensors can be compatible. The detection accuracy is high at 25℃, and it can meet the precise detection requirements in industrial sites.
Q: Is the supply of goods in stock stable?
A: For Allen Bradley 1762-IR4, the supply is stable. We rely on the logistics networks we have established with both domestic and international partners. Whether it's domestic or overseas orders, once the order is placed, the goods can be dispatched quickly to ensure that the goods can be used on-site without any delay.
Q: If the module malfunctions, can it be quickly diagnosed and resolved?
A: The module is equipped with an LED status indicator light, which can clearly show the power and channel status. It also supports open-circuit and short-circuit detection. In case of a malfunction, the problem can be quickly located, making maintenance convenient. We can also provide technical support.
The 1762-IR4 supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections. Each wiring method has different accuracy characteristics.

Lead resistance rules:
Field issue example: A customer used 2-wire connection with 25 meters of cable. The reading was 3°C high. Cause: Lead resistance added to the measurement. Fix: Switched to 3-wire connection. The reading returned to the correct value.
The 1762-IR4 converts resistance to temperature based on the RTD type. This table shows typical resistance values for platinum RTD at common temperatures.
| Temperature (°C) | Resistance (Ω) - Platinum 100 | Resistance (Ω) - Platinum 1000 |
|---|---|---|
| -50°C | 80.31Ω | 803.1Ω |
| -20°C | 92.16Ω | 921.6Ω |
| 0°C | 100.00Ω | 1000.0Ω |
| 20°C | 107.79Ω | 1077.9Ω |
| 40°C | 115.54Ω | 1155.4Ω |
| 60°C | 123.24Ω | 1232.4Ω |
