Excellent PLC
Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1769-OB16 CompactLogix 16 Point Sourcing Output Module is a high-performance discrete DC output module designed for the CompactLogix control platform. It provides 16 sourcing digital output channels, enabling the controller to drive various field devices such as relays, contactors, solenoid valves, and indicator lights. The module is widely used in machine automation and industrial control systems where stable and fast DC switching is required.
This module operates at a nominal voltage of 24 VDC with an allowable operating range of 20.4 to 26.4 VDC, ensuring compatibility with common industrial power supplies. Each output point is capable of delivering up to 1.0 A at 30 °C or 0.5 A at 60 °C, allowing it to control a wide range of DC loads. With extremely fast switching characteristics, the module features an output ON delay of 0.1 ms and OFF delay of 1.0 ms, supporting applications where rapid response is important.
The 1769-OB16 is designed for seamless integration with CompactLogix controllers and other 1769 I/O modules. Its efficient design minimizes power consumption, drawing a maximum of 200 mA from the backplane, while maintaining low heat dissipation. These characteristics make it a reliable solution for compact automation systems requiring multiple DC outputs.
