Description

The Allen-Bradley 1756-OA16I is a ControlLogix digital AC output module designed to control field-side industrial actuators, motor starters, and solenoids. Operating across a broad output voltage range of 74 to 265 V AC, the 1756-OA16I features 16 individually isolated channels to prevent cross-channel interference and ensure reliable system operation. Equipped with a 36-pin removable terminal block interface, this module integrates seamlessly into standard ControlLogix chassis architectures and supports minimum firmware revisions 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 alongside Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 design software version V20 or higher.

Features

  • 16 individually isolated output channels
  • Wide operating voltage range of 74 to 265 V AC
  • High continuous channel-to-channel isolation rating of 250 V
  • 36-pin Removable Terminal Block (RTB) connection architecture
  • Compatible with standard ControlLogix chassis and backplanes

Applications

  • Individual AC load switching and actuator control
  • Solenoid valve and motor starter control
  • Isolated field device interfacing in power distribution systems
  • Industrial process automation across diverse voltage domains
