Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1771-OVN/B Low True Output Module is a digital output module designed for PLC-5 systems, used to control field devices in industrial automation applications. It provides reliable switching capability for DC loads and is configured with low-true (sink) output logic, meaning the module activates outputs by sinking current to ground.
This module is widely applied in machine control environments where multiple actuators, relays, solenoids, and indicator devices must be controlled simultaneously. With a high-density 32-output configuration, it enables efficient use of rack space while maintaining stable and organized output control.
Built on the 1771 I/O platform, the 1771-OVN/B is designed for robust industrial environments, ensuring dependable performance under electrical noise, vibration, and continuous operation conditions. Series B indicates an updated revision with improved compatibility and reliability.
