Overview
Allen-Bradley 1756-OA16 /A is a 16-point AC output module engineered for ControlLogix chassis-mounted automation systems. The module is a digital output module with 16 output channels from the ControlLogix series. It operates with a voltage range of 75 Volts AC to 264 Volts AC, with nominal AC voltage ratings of 120 Volts AC and 240 Volts AC. Designed for industrial machinery control, process automation, and equipment interfacing, this module integrates seamlessly with Studio 5000 programming and multi-network ControlLogix architectures.
Key Features
- Maximum output current rating of 0.5 Amps per point and 4 Amps per module at 60 degrees Celsius
- Mechanically fused groups of outputs (8 points per fuse group) for overcurrent protection
- Individual fault states for each point: Hold the Last State, On-State, Off-State, and status indications in Program Mode
- Module multicasts fault and status data to the owner controller or listening controller for real-time diagnostics
- Can be located on any slot within the ControlLogix chassis
- Tolerates 5 to 95% ambient relative humidity without condensation in operation and storage
