The 1769-OF8C is a high-density analog output module for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix (1768 and 1769) and MicroLogix 1500 systems. It provides eight high-resolution current output channels, enabling precise control of Final Control Elements (FCE) such as modulating valves and motor drives in automated processes.

Control Elements: Ideal for VFDs, I/P transducers, and valve positioners.
Monitoring Hardware: Can drive meters, chart recorders, and data acquisition systems.
Configuration: Software-defined channel parameters for safe operation in "Fault" or "Program Mode".
PID Control: Provides stable 4–20 mA signals with superior noise immunity.
Connection: Integrated bus to controller assembly; local I/O or remote expansion via 1769-AENTR.
Orientation: Horizontal or vertical on 35 mm DIN rail.
Wiring: Removable terminal block (RTB) for pre-wiring and maintenance.
Shielding: Use shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling; ground shield at one end only to prevent loops.
What is the advantage of 16-bit resolution?
It provides extremely granular control (~0.323 µA per step), critical for sensitive control valves.
Can this module output 0–10V signals?
No. It is strictly current-output. For voltage outputs, use 1769-OF8V or combination modules like 1769-IF4XOF2.
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.
