Allen-Bradley 1715-TASOF8 Analog Output Termination Assembly

The Allen-Bradley 1715-TASOF8, also cataloged as the 1715-TASOF8 Termination Assembly, operates as a dedicated hardware component for channel-level analog output termination within 1715 Redundant I/O systems. It provides physical wiring interface and redundancy support for the 1715-OF8I analog output module.

Suffix Breakdown & Model Matrix

The 1715-TASOF8 is a fixed catalog number supporting a single 1715-OF8I analog output module. No additional suffix variants or configuration matrix are specified in available documentation.

Hardware Specifications

I/O Density Scaling in Redundant Analog Output Systems

The 1715-TASOF8 integrates with the Allen-Bradley 1715 Redundant I/O platform, allowing high-density analog output connectivity. By separating module electronics from field wiring, the termination assembly supports dual-path redundancy and facilitates channel-level diagnostics. This design enables scalable I/O deployment while maintaining operational continuity during module maintenance or failure conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the 1715-TASOF8 operate without the 1715-OF8I module?
A: No. The assembly requires a 1715-OF8I analog output module and a 1715-A3IO base unit for proper operation.

Q: What indicators are available for diagnostics?
A: The assembly provides channel status indicators including Healthy, Ready, and Run, along with network and rack diagnostics.

Q: What is the recommended mounting method?
A: Install the termination assembly on the 1715-A3IO base unit using standard mounting points. Ensure wiring is correctly terminated and shielded where applicable.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Mount the 1715-TASOF8 on the 1715-A3IO base unit following mechanical alignment guides.

• Ensure all analog output channels (CH0–CH7) are clearly wired according to channel identity labels.

• Maintain separation from high-voltage power circuits to reduce electromagnetic interference.

• Verify dual-channel redundancy paths are connected properly to Ethernet ports 1 and 2.

• Confirm operating environment adheres to industrial temperature and humidity standards.

• Apply conformal coating handling precautions when performing field wiring.

• Inspect all terminal connections for torque compliance and mechanical stability before energizing.
