Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1794-IB16XOB16P Flex I/O Digital DC Combination Module is a high-performance DC digital combination module designed for industrial automation systems. It integrates 16 sinking input channels and 16 sinking output channels in a single compact unit, providing both monitoring and control capabilities within one module. The module also features 16 yellow status indicators, allowing operators to quickly verify the status of each input and output point.
Operating with a voltage range of 10–31.2 VDC and current range of 2–11 mA, the module is suitable for low-power DC signal applications. Its DIN rail mounting and IP20 open-style enclosure make it ideal for installation in control panels, providing reliable connectivity and signal management in distributed Flex I/O systems.
The 1794-IB16XOB16P is engineered for flexible and scalable control architectures, enabling efficient integration of multiple input and output signals in compact industrial automation setups.
