Features:
- 16-point sinking DC output control with integrated electronic fusing per channel
- 10-30V DC operational range supporting DC-13/SR pilot duty loads
- Standard slot compatibility within the 1756 ControlLogix rack architecture
The 1756-OV16E/A operates as a ControlLogix Digital DC Output Module, providing 16 sinking current output points for discrete control of DC field devices within industrial automation systems. It continuously drives loads across a 10-30V DC operational voltage range, delivering up to 1A per point at DC-13/SR pilot duty ratings while maintaining nominal signal delays of 75μs for OFF-to-ON transitions and 360μs for ON-to-OFF transitions, with a maximum switching time of 1ms in either direction. Each output point incorporates individual electronic fusing to isolate overcurrent faults without requiring external protection devices, and the module supports a minimum load current of 2mA per point with a maximum leakage current of 1mA in the OFF state.
The 1756-OV16E/A provides essential discrete output functions within the ControlLogix rack, serving as a critical component of the I/O path that directly affects the proper operation of the overall control system. One or multiple 1756-OV16E/A modules may be installed per chassis depending on the required output density, with each module occupying a single slot in the 1756 ControlLogix rack.
For overload protection applications, the 1756-OV16E/A utilizes individual electronic fusing per output point rather than conventional mechanical fuses. The module continuously monitors current levels across all 16 channels, and if the system detects that an individual output has exceeded its rated capacity or encountered a sustained fault condition, the electronic fuse for that specific channel will isolate the affected point while preserving operation of the remaining outputs.
The 1756-OV16E/A Allen-Bradley Digital DC Output Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
