Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1790D-T16BV0 CompactBlock LDX I/O Base Block Module is a compact distributed digital input module designed for machine-level automation systems. Manufactured by Rockwell Automation under the Allen-Bradley brand, the module belongs to the CompactBlock LDX series and is intended to simplify field wiring and distributed I/O deployment.
The module provides 16 digital input channels that support both sinking and sourcing input configurations, allowing it to connect with a wide range of industrial sensors and switches. It operates with a nominal supply voltage of 24 VDC and supports an input voltage range of 9.6–28.8 VDC, which fits standard industrial control systems.
With a 2 ms response time, the module can quickly detect signal changes from field devices. Its compact structure and integrated terminal design make it suitable for installation in machine panels where space is limited while maintaining reliable signal acquisition.
