Allen Bradley 1769-OB16 Digital Output Module

The AB 1769-OB16 is a 16-point Compact I/O digital output module designed for use with CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. Featuring 16 sourcing (positive logic) transistor outputs, it delivers 24V DC output signals for controlling indicators, relays, solenoids, and other field devices.

With a compact 35 mm width and plug-in terminal connection, the 1769-OB16 allows for fast installation in space-constrained panels. It provides output current up to 0.2 A per channel and supports fast switching with signal change delays between 0.1 and 1 ms. This module is ideal for high-density digital output applications in industrial automation systems.
