20AC022A0AYNANC0 Allen‑Bradley Output module
Product Dimensions:
Allen-Bradley, a Rockwell Automation brand, offers a comprehensive range of output modules as part of its Input/Output (I/O) portfolio. These modules are designed for industrial automation systems, enabling control of actuators, solenoids, indicators, and other field devices. They support various chassis-based and distributed architectures, including CompactLogix, ControlLogix, and POINT I/O systems. Output modules are available in digital (DC/AC), analog, and specialty types (e.g., encoder outputs), providing flexibility for demanding applications.
Product Details
Allen-Bradley output modules convert control signals from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or controllers into physical outputs for field devices. Key series include:
- Bulletin 1756 ControlLogix Output Modules: High-density, chassis-based modules for large-scale systems. Examples include digital DC sourcing/sinking outputs (e.g., 1756-OB16E: 16 points, 24V DC) and analog outputs (e.g., 1756-OF4: 4 channels, 0-20mA or 0-10V).
- Bulletin 1769 Compact I/O Output Modules: Rackless design for compact systems. Examples include 1769-OB16 (16-point DC sinking output) and 1769-OW16 (16-point AC output).
- Bulletin 5069 Compact 5000 Output Modules: Modern, modular options like 5069-OB16 (16-point DC output) for CompactGuardLogix controllers.
- Distributed I/O Options: POINT I/O (1734 series) and FLEX I/O (1794 series) for remote mounting, with IP20-rated blocks for in-cabinet use.
- Safety Variants: Guard I/O modules (e.g., 1791DS, 1732 ArmorBlock Guard) for SIL 3/Cat. 4 applications, certified by TÜV.
These modules integrate with Studio 5000 Logix Designer software for configuration and support networks like EtherNet/IP and DeviceNet.

Product Advantages
Allen-Bradley output modules provide several key benefits for industrial automation:
- Flexibility and Scalability: Support for chassis-based (up to 17 slots in ControlLogix) and distributed setups (up to 32 modules per node), allowing easy expansion without full system redesign.
- Reliability and Diagnostics: Advanced features like Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) for hot-swapping, per-point fusing, and real-time diagnostics (e.g., no-load detection in 1756-OA8D) minimize downtime and enhance troubleshooting.
- Integration: Seamless compatibility with Logix controllers and Studio 5000 software, plus DeviceLogix Smart Component Technology for embedded logic solving in I/O.
- Safety and Compliance: Guard I/O options certified to SIL 3, PLe for safety-critical applications, reducing risk in hazardous environments.
- Cost Efficiency: Rackless designs (e.g., Compact I/O) lower inventory needs and installation costs; wide operating ranges support diverse global deployments.
- Performance: High-speed updates (e.g., <1ms for EtherNet/IP) and support for multiple topologies ensure robust operation in high-demand settings.
Precautions and Notes
To ensure safe and optimal operation, observe the following:
- Installation: Modules must be installed in compatible chassis or on DIN rails per the user manual. For distributed I/O, use enclosures (IP20 rating) to protect from dust/moisture. Verify field wiring polarity for sinking/sourcing types to avoid damage.
- Power Supply: External 24V DC or AC supplies are required; do not exceed voltage/current ratings to prevent overheating or faults. Monitor field power loss via diagnostics.
- Environmental: Operate within specified temperature/humidity ranges; use XT variants for -40°C to 70°C extremes. Avoid exposure to corrosive substances.
- Safety: For Guard I/O, follow CIP Safety protocols and TÜV guidelines. Disable RIUP if not needed to prevent accidental module removal.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect for loose connections; use ESD protection during handling. Firmware updates via ControlFLASH should be performed offline.
- Compatibility: Confirm module revision with controller firmware; incompatible mixes can cause communication errors. Consult Rockwell Automation for hazardous location approvals (e.g., ATEX).
Failure to follow these may void warranties or cause system failures.
Product Applications
Allen-Bradley output modules are versatile for industrial control across sectors:
- Manufacturing: Driving conveyor motors, valves, and solenoids in assembly lines (e.g., automotive production with Compact I/O).
- Process Control: Analog outputs for PID loops in chemical/pharmaceutical plants, regulating pumps and heaters.
- Energy and Utilities: AC outputs for lighting/contactors in power distribution; safety modules for substation monitoring.
- Material Handling: High-density DC outputs for warehouse automation, controlling robotic arms and sorters.
- Safety Systems: Guard I/O in packaging machinery for emergency stops and light curtains, ensuring compliance with ISO 13849.
- Motion and Encoder Systems: 2198 series for synchronizing drives in CNC machines or wind turbines.
These modules excel in environments requiring precise, reliable control, from standalone machines to enterprise-wide networks. For custom solutions, integrate with FactoryTalk software for predictive maintenance.
