The 1769-BOOLEAN is a specialized high-speed combination I/O module designed for the CompactLogix platform. Unlike standard I/O modules, it integrates an on-board logic processor capable of executing Boolean expressions (AND, OR, XOR, or NONE) with an ultra-fast closed-loop response time of 1 microsecond. This architecture makes the 1769-BOOLEAN ideal for time-critical applications where the main controller scan time is insufficient to react to fast-changing field signals.

The 1769-BOOLEAN evaluates real-time physical inputs as well as virtual inputs received from the backplane. When a configured Boolean expression evaluates to TRUE, the associated output transitions to the ON state immediately, bypassing the standard Requested Packet Interval (RPI) processing of the controller. This hardware-level execution ensures deterministic performance suitable for safety interlocks, high-speed sorting, pulse detection, and similar ultra-fast control tasks.
AND: Output is energized only when all specified input conditions are TRUE.
OR: Output is energized when any one of the specified input conditions is TRUE.
XOR: Output is energized only when an odd number of inputs are TRUE (exclusive OR).
NONE: Output is controlled directly by the user program, operating as standard discrete I/O.
Can this module be used without a CompactLogix CPU?
No. Although the 1769-BOOLEAN performs logic processing internally, it must be installed in a CompactLogix local rack or a distributed I/O system (such as a 1769-AENTR) to receive configuration data and operating power from the backplane.
What is the advantage of sourcing outputs on this module?
Sourcing outputs supply the positive voltage (+) to the load. This wiring convention is widely used in North American industrial systems and improves safety, as an accidental short to ground will not energize the load.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
