Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1769-OV16 is a discrete 24VDC sinking output module engineered for the 1769 Compact I/O family. This module is part of Allen-Bradley’s Compact I/O controller platform and features 16 channels providing 24 VDC output voltage in sink wiring configuration. The 1769-OV16 is compatible as an expansion I/O module for use with the CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 as local or expansion I/O modules.
Key Features
- 16 output channels with operating voltage range of 20.4 VDC to 26.4 VDC, rated output current of 0.5 A @ 60 °C (140 °F) and 1.0 A @ 30 °C (86 °F) per channel.
- Supports sink wiring configuration.
- Includes 16 outputs in a group with a removable terminal block which has a finger-safe cover for connections to the I/O sensors and actuators.
- 0.1-millisecond output delay for the ON state and a 1-millisecond output delay for the OFF state.
- Compact size at 4.65 x 1.38 x 3.43 inches (118 x 35 x 87 mm) weighing approximately 0.61 pounds.
- Maximum heat dissipation of 2.06 W with non-condensing relative humidity of 5 to 95%.
Technical Specifications
Maximum current per point is dependent on temperature: 0.5 Amps at 60 degrees Celsius and 1 Amp at 30 degrees Celsius. Maximum current per module is 4 Amps at 60 degrees Celsius and 8 Amps at 30 degrees Celsius. Wire requirements: copper 90-degree 22-14 AWG solid or 22-16 AWG stranded wire.
Typical Applications
The 1769-OV16 is widely used in industrial control systems for energizing discrete 24VDC loads such as solenoids, indicator lights, motor starters, and relay coils. It is also suitable for indirect AC load control through interposing relays, making it flexible for various automation scenarios including conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and process control systems.
