Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1762-IQ8 is a high-density input module for the MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 programmable controllers. This module provides eight discrete input channels for 24V DC sinking or sourcing signals. It is a new original unit designed for industrial automation systems. The 1762-IQ8 mounts directly on the controller base unit. It supports easy field wiring with a removable terminal block. This module is ideal for monitoring push buttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors.
Application Scenarios
This input module operates reliably in manufacturing and process control environments. Common applications include conveyor monitoring, machine safety interlock detection, and packaging line status sensing. It works well in building automation for HVAC equipment monitoring. The 1762-IQ8 is also used in water treatment facilities for level and flow switch monitoring. Its compact design fits into control panels with limited space.

Installation & Maintenance Guide
Install the module on a compatible MicroLogix base unit. Ensure the controller power is off before insertion. Align the module with the guide rails on the base. Push firmly until the locking tab clicks. Connect field wiring to the removable terminal block. Use copper wire rated for 75°C minimum. Torque terminal screws to 0.5 Nm. Do not exceed the module’s rated input voltage. Periodically inspect the terminal block for loose connections. Replace the module only with an identical unit. Keep the module free of dust and moisture.
