Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1794-IB10XOB6 is a digital combination input/output module within the Flex I/O 1794 series. This 16-point module integrates both inputs and outputs in a single compact form factor, making it an efficient solution for distributed I/O in industrial automation systems. The module is designed to work seamlessly with CompactLogix and ControlLogix processors via the Flex I/O communication architecture.
Key Features
- 10 digital sink inputs: Accept 24 VDC logic signals with 8 mA input current and 4.8 kilohm input impedance
- 6 digital source outputs: Drive loads up to 2 A per channel at 24 VDC, ideal for solenoids, pilot lights, and proportional controls
- Fast response time: 1 millisecond input-to-output latency ensures real-time control
- Modular design: Plugs into the Flex I/O backplane with standard screw-terminal connections
- Wide operating range: Functional from -20°C to 55°C for harsh industrial environments
- Proven reliability: Lifecycle status Active Mature with CSA, CE, UL, and CUL certifications
Technical Specifications
The module operates on a nominal 24 VDC supply with 25 mA current draw from the backplane. Flexbus current support is rated at 50 mA, ensuring compatibility with multi-module I/O racks. Input voltage tolerance spans 10–31.2 VDC, and output ratings match at 10–31.2 VDC with 2 A per channel maximum.
Typical Applications
- Automotive assembly line sensor monitoring and actuator control
- Food and beverage conveyor belt management with real-time feedback
- Water treatment valve positioning and sensor integration
- Pharmaceutical packaging equipment with strict panel-space constraints
- General machine tool applications requiring distributed I/O nodes
