Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1794-OB16P FLEX I/O Digital DC Output Module is a high-density discrete DC output module designed for efficient and reliable control of DC-powered devices in industrial automation systems. As part of the FLEX I/O family from Rockwell Automation, this module offers a compact solution for distributed control systems, combining performance and flexibility in a small footprint.
The 1794-OB16P provides 16 discrete sourcing (PNP) outputs at 24 VDC, making it suitable for driving relays, solenoids, actuators, and other DC field devices. Its open-style construction allows for effective heat dissipation, and DIN rail mounting ensures easy installation and secure placement in industrial control panels. The module’s IP20 rating ensures safe operation within standard electrical enclosures.
