ALLEN-BRADLEY 1769-OB16 CompactLogix 16 Pt 24VDC D/O Module for Industrial Automation

Product Description:1769-OB16

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OB16 is a 16-point digital output module designed for use in CompactLogix and MicroLogix PLC systems. It is part of the 1769 Compact I/O series, which provides flexibility and scalability for industrial automation applications.

This module is used to control various devices, such as motors, relays, solenoids, and lights, by providing discrete outputs. The 1769-OB16 is specifically designed for controlling 24V DC devices and offers sourcing (PNP) outputs.

Features:1769-OB16

• 16 Digital Outputs:

  • The 1769-OB16 provides 16 discrete output points, enabling control of up to 16 devices, such as solenoids, relays, motors, or lights.

• Sourcing Output Configuration:

  • The module provides PNP sourcing outputs, meaning that each output provides 24V DC to the external device, and the external device is connected to ground. This configuration is commonly used for devices requiring positive voltage control.

• Compact and Space-Saving Design:

  • The module is compact in size, making it ideal for space-constrained environments where panel size and layout are crucial. It can be easily mounted on the 1769 backplane to integrate seamlessly with the CompactLogix or MicroLogix PLC system.

• Diagnostic LEDs:

  • The 1769-OB16 includes LED indicators for each output to show its ON/OFF status. Additionally, there is a module status LED for overall health and operation monitoring, aiding in troubleshooting and diagnostics.

• Flexible Wiring:

  • The module features screw terminal connections for each output point, allowing easy and secure wiring to external devices. This also simplifies installation and maintenance.

• Operating Voltage:

  • The module is powered by 24V DC and can be connected to a 24V DC power supply from the PLC system.

• Wide Temperature Range:

  • The module operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), making it suitable for most industrial environments.

Technical Parameters:1769-OB16

Applications:1769-OB16

• Machine Automation:

  • Controlling actuators, pneumatic valves, or motors for machines in production lines or packaging systems.

• Material Handling:

  • Controlling conveyors, robotic arms, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in warehouses and material handling systems.

• Safety Systems:

  • Managing emergency stop circuits, safety relays, or other safety equipment in critical applications where reliability is crucial.

• Lighting Control:

  • Used in industrial lighting systems to control light banks or signal lights in a factory, warehouse, or production facility.

• Test Equipment:

  • Control relays, solenoids, or other test equipment that require discrete on/off control.

• Valve Control:

  • Controlling solenoid valves in fluid control systems like water treatment or chemical processing plants.

• Control of External Devices:

  • Used for on/off control of external devices like motors, heaters, fans, alarm systems, etc., in automation systems.

Customization:1769-OB16

• I/O Expansion:

  • You can expand your CompactLogix system with additional I/O modules such as digital, analog, or specialty modules to increase the system’s capacity or tailor it to specific needs.

• Custom Control Logic:

  • Customize the control program in Studio 5000 Logix Designer to handle the operation of the 1769-OB16 module based on your application’s requirements. You can program logic to handle alarms, fault detection, and output sequencing.

• Communication Integration:

  • The 1769-OB16 can be used in systems with Ethernet/IP communication. By integrating the 1769-OB16 with other devices like HMIs or remote I/O systems, you can customize the system’s communication network to fit your operational environment.

• HMI and Remote Control:

  • Integrate the 1769-OB16 with an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) to give operators real-time control over the outputs. This can be customized with user-friendly screens that allow operators to monitor or manually control the outputs.

• Diagnostic Features:

  • Customize the system to monitor output conditions using the diagnostic LEDs on the module or implement additional diagnostic routines in the PLC’s programming to automatically detect faults and generate alerts.
