7AF101.7

Product Description

The 7AF101.7 is an obsolete analog interface module designed to connect analog I/O signals to a control system. Weighing just 8 ounces, this screw-in module can handle up to 4 channels of standard industrial analog input or output. It features built-in status LEDs to monitor each channel. With its compact form factor and low 0.3W max power consumption, the 7AF101.7 provides versatile analog signal connectivity. The module works with signals like 0-10V or 0-20mA to interface sensors, valves, actuators, transmitters, and other analog field devices. Any device outputting or accepting these standard industrial analog signals can potentially connect through the 7AF101.7.

Monitoring I/O status is simple with the integrated LEDs corresponding to each channel. These indicators visually display when a sensor is active or if a signal drops out. Having this quick diagnostic feedback allows rapidly pinpointing any wiring or connection issues. A key benefit of this analog module is its rugged industrial design. It meets CE, UKCA, and UL safety requirements for reliable performance. The screw-in terminals enable securely mounting into B&R adapter blocks and racks for organizing cabinet wiring.

Compatibility is important when installing any interface module. While obsolete, the 7AF101.7 remains functional with older B&R control systems as a replacement or retrofit option. It cannot work standalone but rather requires a backplane or chassis to provide power. Connecting analog signals from the field into a control platform opens up monitoring and automation possibilities. This well-designed analog interface module does that reliably while packed into a compact plug-and-play form factor. It may be discontinued but remains useful for adding I/O points when legacy compatibility is required.
