Allen Bradley 1769-OV16 CompactLogix 16-Point Sinking Digital Output Module

Product Description

The 1769-OV16 (1769-OV16) is a high-density digital output module designed for use with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems. This module provides 16 sinking (NPN) output points, specifically engineered to interface with 24V DC field devices such as solenoid valves, small DC contactors, and status indicators. By pulling the load to the common/negative DC return when activated, it offers an efficient solution for machinery control requiring low-side switching.

As a part of the 1769 Compact I/O family, the 1769-OV16 (1769-OV16) features a compact, space-saving design and high-speed signal processing with a 0.1 ms delay. It includes a removable terminal block (1769-RTBN18) that allows engineers and technicians to pre-wire or replace the module without disconnecting individual field wires, significantly reducing downtime during maintenance or system upgrades.
