ALLEN-BRADLEY 1769-OB16 8 CompactLogix 16 Pt 24VDC D/O Module

Product Description:1769-OB16 8

The 1769-OB16 provides 16 discrete output points, which can be used to control individual devices. The outputs are sourcing (PNP), meaning they supply voltage to external loads (e.g., solenoids or relays), making them suitable for controlling devices that require positive voltage.

The module fits into the 1769 Compact I/O system, which is typically used in CompactLogix or MicroLogix PLCs for small to mid-sized automation projects. The 1769-OB16 can be easily integrated into an existing CompactLogix system and is designed to work seamlessly with Allen-Bradley controllers and other I/O modules.

Features:1769-OB16 8

• 16 Discrete Outputs:

  • The module provides 16 digital output points to control 24V DC devices such as relays, solenoids, and motors.
  • Each output can control a single device, providing ON/OFF control for discrete loads.

• Sourcing Output Configuration:

  • The module provides PNP sourcing outputs, which means that each output point supplies 24V DC to the external device. The external device (load) is then connected to ground.
  • The PNP configuration is ideal for controlling devices such as solenoids, lights, or relays that require a positive voltage signal.

• Compact Form Factor:

  • Designed for use in compact control systems, the 1769-OB16 is small and space-efficient, making it ideal for environments where panel space is limited.
  • It mounts directly onto the 1769 backplane, integrating seamlessly into the CompactLogix or MicroLogix systems.

• High Current Rating:

  • Each output channel can typically handle a maximum current of 0.5A per point (check specific documentation for exact limits).
  • The module is capable of controlling standard industrial devices requiring moderate power.

• Integrated Diagnostics:

  • The 1769-OB16 features diagnostic LEDs for each output to provide real-time status information. Each output has an indicator to show if it is ON or OFF, and the module also has a status LED to indicate overall health and operation.
  • These LEDs can help with troubleshooting and monitoring the status of connected devices.

• Flexible Installation:

  • The 1769-OB16 is designed to work with the CompactLogix and MicroLogix PLC systems, and it integrates with other 1769-series modules for easy system expansion.
  • The module can be mounted directly to the 1769 backplane, minimizing wiring and simplifying setup.

• Simplified Wiring:

  • Each of the 16 output points has a dedicated terminal, making wiring to external devices straightforward.
  • The module uses screw terminal connections, which provide a reliable connection and make it easy to install and replace wires.

• Operating Voltage:

  • The 1769-OB16 operates with 24V DC power, which is standard for many industrial automation systems.
  • The input voltage range is typically between 19.2V to 31.2V DC.

Applications:1769-OB16 8

• Machine Automation:

  • Control the operation of pneumatic actuators, robotic arms, or motorized equipment.

• Material Handling:

  • Used in conveyor belts or other automated material handling systems to turn devices like motors or actuators on/off.

• Packaging Systems:

  • Control equipment such as sealing machines, filling stations, or labeling devices in packaging applications.

• Safety Systems:

  • Used to control emergency stop circuits, safety barriers, or other critical safety equipment where precise on/off control is required.

• Lighting Control:

  • Ideal for controlling lighting circuits in manufacturing environments, warehouses, or other industrial settings.

• Test Equipment:

  • The 1769-OB16 can be used to control relays or solenoids that test product quality or perform automated testing in industrial environments.

• Valve Control:

  • Often used to control solenoid-operated valves in fluid systems, including those in chemical processing, water treatment, and HVAC systems.

Customization:1769-OB16 8

• Wiring Configuration:

  • Customize the wiring by using standard or custom terminal blocks for easy connection to external devices, such as relays, solenoids, or valves.

• I/O Expansion:

  • Expand the system by adding more I/O modules (digital or analog) to the same 1769 backplane to accommodate larger systems with more devices.

• System Integration:

  • Integrate the 1769-OB16 module into a larger CompactLogix system, and program it using Studio 5000 Logix Designer to meet the specific control requirements of the application.

• Fault Detection Logic:

  • You can program the PLC to detect faults related to the digital output signals (e.g., if an output is stuck in an ON or OFF state) and take appropriate actions, such as triggering alarms or switching to a fail-safe mode.

• HMI Integration:

  • Integrate the 1769-OB16 with a HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for real-time monitoring and manual control of the outputs (e.g., turning outputs on/off or observing the state of connected devices).
