Sourcing Outputs: Supplies +24V DC to field devices, compatible with standard PNP logic.
Fast Switching: 0.1 ms response time for high-speed applications like packaging and sorting.
Maintenance-Friendly: Removable terminal block simplifies field wiring replacement.
Robust Protection: Built-in short-circuit and overcurrent protection for reliable operation.
Q: What is the difference between 1769-OB16 and 1769-OV16?
A: The OB16 is a sourcing module (+24V), while the OV16 is a sinking module (provides the ground/return).
Q: Does this module have built-in fuses?
A: It includes electronic protection, but external fusing on the 24V DC field power is recommended.
Q: Can I use this module with 12V DC devices?
A: No. The module is rated for 24V DC and may not operate reliably below 20.4V DC.
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.
