Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1756-OB32 is a high-density ControlLogix DC output module designed to deliver reliable 12–24 VDC digital switching in demanding industrial automation systems. With thirty-two sourcing output channels in a single slot, this module is ideal for applications requiring large numbers of discrete outputs while maintaining compact panel design.
Engineered for integration within the ControlLogix platform, the 1756-OB32 communicates directly over the backplane and allows centralized control through Studio 5000. Its solid-state output design ensures fast switching performance and long operational stability when driving field devices such as relays, solenoids, contactors, and indicator lights.
The module supports a wide operating voltage range of 10–31.2 VDC, making it suitable for standard 24V DC industrial control systems. It is commonly deployed in manufacturing lines, material handling systems, packaging machinery, and process automation installations where high output density and stable switching performance are required.
