Description

The Allen-Bradley 1771-OBD is a 16-point DC output module designed for integration within the Allen-Bradley PLC-5 and 1771 universal I/O chassis architecture. This digital module operates within a voltage range of 10 to 60 VDC, providing reliable solid-state switching for industrial control devices such as solenoids, indicators, and motor starters. It requires compatibility with a Series B 1771 I/O chassis and supports flexible addressing configurations depending on system architecture.

Equipped with optical isolation between the logic side and the load side, the 1771-OBD ensures robust noise immunity and electrical protection in harsh manufacturing environments. Front-panel diagnostic indicators include a green module status LED, 16 individual red point status LEDs for direct logic-side verification, and a dedicated red fuse-blown indicator linked to onboard fusing protection. The module is engineered to handle moderate inrush currents while maintaining low on-state voltage drops for efficient power delivery.

Features

  • 16 sourcing-type DC output channels operating at 10 to 60 VDC
  • Delivers up to 2 A of continuous output current per point, with an 8 A maximum per module
  • Handles surge currents up to 4 A per output for 10 ms, repeatable every 2 seconds
  • Provides optical isolation rated at 1,500 VAC rms between I/O and backplane
  • Features comprehensive diagnostic LED indicators for module health, individual channel status, and blown fuse alerts
  • Low on-state voltage drop of 0.3 V max at 2 A for improved thermal and electrical efficiency

Applications

  • Directly driving pilot lights, control relays, and solid-state actuators in PLC-5 architectures
  • Switching inductive and resistive DC loads within manufacturing and process control skids
  • Interfacing with complementary 1771 input modules requiring shared DC common references
  • Expanding discrete output capacity in legacy 1771 universal I/O chassis configurations
