I/O Modules extend Integrated Architecture to small applications

System designers and end users have more options to choose from now that we have added new modules to our Allen-Bradley Compact I/O product line, extending the benefits of Integrated Architecture to small and mid-size applications. The new Compact I/O modules include the 1769-OB32T digital output, the 1769-IG16 input and the 1769-OG16 output, as well as the 1769-Boolean module.

The 1769-OB32T digital output module is a 32-point 24V DC module that uses the standard single-slot plastic case developed specifically for customers that require high density I/O with a focus on panel space savings. The 1769-OG16 output and 1769-IG16 input, are 16-point 5V DC modules that feature the standard, single-slot plastic case and increase flexibility by allowing users to connect to low voltage devices.

Moving boolean logic to I/O modules increases programmable controller throughput. The 1769-Boolean module is designed for use with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. It has high-speed closed loops on the CompactLogix programmable automation controller (PAC) platform. In addition, the module has both 24V DC inputs and outputs, and also has the intelligence to activate outputs based on simple Boolean logic programmed by the user.

With one millisecond I/O updates over the backplane, the new modules are compatible with the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix Controller, and feature a patented rackless design. All new Compact I/O modules feature a unique tongue-and-groove design that locks the modules together, providing modularity that allows users to mix and match up to 30 Compact I/O modules. This design also means the I/O modules can be installed on a panel with two mounting screws or on a DIN rail, eliminating the need for a rack.

Compact I/O has a front removal and insertion which reduces time for initial system assembly, and features high density I/O termination which reduces panel space requirements. Each I/O module can be individually removed from its position for replacement, including the unique, built-in removable terminal block with a finger-safe cover for connection to I/O sensors and actuators.
