Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1760-IB12XOW6I /A is a Pico GFX I/O expansion module designed to extend the I/O capacity of Pico EX and Pico GFX-70 controllers. This Series A device provides 12 digital inputs and 6 relay outputs, operating on 24 VDC. The module features an open enclosure with IP20 protection and front-panel status LEDs for run and power indication, making it ideal for small logic applications in building automation, HVAC control, and machinery startup sequences.
Key Features
- 12 24 VDC digital inputs with front-mounted terminals
- 6 relay outputs suitable for inductive and resistive loads
- DIN rail mounting for space-efficient panel installation
- Status LEDs for power and operating mode indication (flashing = Run, solid = Stop with power)
- IP20 rated enclosure with open design
- 35 Watts line power consumption
- Compatible with Pico ladder programming and PicoSoft configuration software

Typical Applications
The 1760-IB12XOW6I /A excels in small-scale discrete control tasks where cost and space are primary considerations. Common deployment scenarios include HVAC fan and damper control, building lighting automation, parking lot gate and door operators, greenhouse ventilation control, and simple pump/motor start-stop circuits. Its relay outputs support both AC and DC loads up to the relay rating, making it versatile for mixed industrial environments.
Compatibility & Replacements
This expansion module pairs directly with Pico EX and Pico GFX-70 base controllers; one I/O module can be added per controller system. It is programmed using Allen-Bradley PicoSoft or PicoSoft Pro software, or directly via the Pico controller’s onboard keypad. The 1760-IB12XOW6I /A is a discontinued product category; Rockwell Automation recommends evaluating Micro 800 programmable logic controllers for new design projects. However, this Series A module remains in service across thousands of legacy systems and is readily available through industrial automation distributors. Drop-in compatibility exists with other 1760 I/O expansion modules when swapping input/output types (e.g., AC-rated expansion with DC controllers).
