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.
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.
