Installation and Wiring 3-11
1746-NI16I
(1) There are two common terminals for all of the 16 current inputs. These two analog common terminals are
connected internally.
(2) All shield wires should be connected to chassis mounting screws.
(3) Unused channels should be connected to the analog common terminals (0 Volts).
(4) If separate shielded cables are used for each analog input channel, interposing terminal blocks are needed
to terminate up to 16 common wires. Then 1 to 4 common wires should be wired from the interposing
terminal block to the 2 common terminals on the 1746-NI16I module.
(5) The module does not provide loop power for analog inputs. Use a power supply that matches the
transmitter specifications.
(6) More than one power supply can be used if all supplies are class 2.
