1794-IB16XOB16P | Allen Bradley Flex I/O 24V DC Digital Input/Output Module

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1794-IB16XOB16P functions as a high-density distributed I/O solution within the Flex I/O 1794 ecosystem. This module integrates 16 sinking inputs and 16 sourcing outputs into a single, compact footprint, effectively doubling the control capacity without increasing rail space. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original factory stock, ensuring maximum MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for your mission-critical automation loops.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Space-Efficient Density: By combining 32 channels of digital I/O on a single terminal base, this module slashes cabinet space requirements. It allows engineers to scale complex systems in overcrowded control rooms where panel real estate carries a premium.

• Integrated Electronic Protection: The 1794-IB16XOB16P features built-in electronic protection for its sourcing outputs. This circuitry detects short circuits and overload conditions instantly, shutting down the affected channel to prevent catastrophic damage to the module or the connected field devices.

• Versatile Installation: The module snaps directly onto a DIN-rail or bolts onto a backplane. This flexibility simplifies retrofitting older machines or building new, modular skid-based systems.

• Reduced Wiring Complexity: Utilizing the Flex I/O architecture enables the separation of terminal wiring from the module itself. Maintenance teams can replace the 1794-IB16XOB16P without disconnecting field wires, drastically reducing downtime during hardware swaps.

FAQs

• Does the 1794-IB16XOB16P require a separate terminal base?

  Yes. You must install the module onto a compatible 1794 terminal base (such as the 1794-TB3 or 1794-TB3S) to facilitate field wiring and connection to the FlexBus.

• How does the electronic protection handle an output fault?

  The module identifies an overcurrent or short-circuit event and disables the specific output point. Once you resolve the external fault, the module resumes normal operation, eliminating the need for external fuses in most standard applications.

• Can I use this module with different communication adapters?

  Absolutely. The 1794-IB16XOB16P maintains full compatibility with the entire range of 1794 adapters, including EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet versions.

• Is this unit factory-sealed?

  Yes. We guarantee this product is 100% Brand New, arriving in original manufacturer packaging with all factory seals intact to meet strict E-E-A-T quality standards.
