Excellent PLC
Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1769-OA16 CompactLogix 16 Point AC Output Module is a reliable and high-performance output module designed for the CompactLogix family of controllers. It provides 16 discrete AC output points, suitable for controlling industrial devices such as motors, solenoids, lights, and relays. This module is optimized for compact automation systems that require precise and dependable AC output control.
Operating on 120/240 VAC nominal voltage and supporting a broad input range of 85–264 VAC at 47–63 Hz, it can adapt to various industrial power environments. The module draws minimal backplane current (225 mA at 5.1 V), ensuring energy efficiency and safe integration with CompactLogix controllers. With a compact design, it is ideal for OEM machinery, small control panels, and distributed I/O systems.
Installation is straightforward with standard copper wiring, supporting both solid and stranded conductors across a practical gauge range. Its robust construction and lightweight design make the 1769-OA16 a versatile module for modern industrial automation applications.
