Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1771-OMD/B Digital DC Output Module is a 16-point output module designed to provide reliable DC switching for industrial PLC applications. It is capable of driving field devices at higher voltage levels up to 220 V AC, supporting pilot-duty loads and discrete control of relays, solenoids, indicators, and other DC actuators.
This module is engineered for rack-mounted installation within 1771 I/O systems, delivering consistent and robust operation in industrial environments. Its design ensures channel-to-backplane isolation, overcurrent protection, and safe switching of pilot-duty loads, making it suitable for process automation, machinery control, and other critical industrial applications.
