A-B 4100-234-R Compact Motion Controller

Allen-Bradley's 4100-234-R compact motion controller is a microprocessor-based motion controller

with 4-axis and remote I/O options, but no axle-link option.

It uses an Intel i960 microprocessor with a 16MHz processor speed and an efficient multitasking

operating system (up to 10 tasks at a time) that allows up to 2.000 user-valued processes to be

stored as 16-bit floating-point numbers in write-protected battery-supported volatile memory.

It has 10 years of battery life and data retention. The 4100-234-R uses an I/O input power supply

in the input voltage range of 90 to 132 volts AC (47 to 63 Hz), 3 amps of current, 

and 5 to 40 volts DC (nominal 24 volts), with a maximum current of 3 amps and coupling of 3 amps.

1/4 x 11/4 ratio slow fuse. Its remote I/O option allows smooth and easy communication

with the device via a remote I/O adapter.

Manufacturer: Rockwell Automation

Brand: Alan Bradley

Part Number/Catalog number: 4100-234-R

Product Type: Compact motion controller

Platform: Independent

Input voltage: 90-132 or 175-264 VAC

Motion control microprocessor: Intel 80960SB at 16 MHz

I/O power input: 5-40 volts DC

Resolution: 16 bits

The 4100-234-R also allows direct connection to a programmable logic controller (PLC) using

modules and discrete transmissions. It has four isolated configurable analog outputs with

a control resolution of 6 bits, 305 µV, an output range of ±10 V DC or ±150 mA,

and a maximum offset voltage output of ±80 mV at 220Ω voltage resistance.

The 4100-234-R, when combined with the flex I/O module, provides wider discrete I/O input and output capabilities.

The 4100-234-R can connect up to eight flex I/O modules, providing a total of 128 discrete I/O points.

These discrete modules provide up to 20 dedicated optical isolated discrete inputs and

8 optical isolated open relay discrete outputs for the 4100-234-R.

The 4100-234-R uses GML for programming and RS-232C for file transfer.
