Product Description

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ16 is a reliable 16-channel digital input module engineered for the CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 automation platforms. This controller component interfaces seamlessly with standard 24V DC field-side control devices such as pushbuttons, limit switches, proximity sensors, auxiliary contacts, and relay outputs. Built for discrete industrial environments, the module processes ON/OFF signals to bridge field automation hardware with controller logic.

The unit features grouped channel architecture, supporting flexible integration within standard control architectures. It occupies a single physical slot and can be easily mounted via standard DIN rail or direct panel mounting options, making it ideal for space-constrained control enclosures and distributed I/O drop locations.

Features

  • 16 sink/source DC digital input channels operating at 24V DC nominal
  • Compatible with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix controllers and MicroLogix 1500 systems
  • Grouped isolation design supporting independent channel group operation
  • Selectable or fixed input filtering with 8 ms nominal ON and OFF delays
  • DIN rail or panel mounting for flexible physical installation
  • Single-slot hardware footprint optimized for compact panel layouts

Applications

  • Monitoring discrete sensor states such as optical, inductive, and capacitive proximity switches
  • Interfacing with mechanical limit switches, emergency stops, and operator pushbuttons
  • Tracking status signals from motor starters, contactors, and thermal overload relays
  • General-purpose industrial discrete automation and machine control
