Specification

The Allen-Bradley 1756-OA16I is a high-density AC output module within the ControlLogix family, engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring isolated switching of AC loads. This module features 16 individually isolated output channels, each capable of handling 120/240V AC at up to 2A per point (with total current limited by thermal constraints), making it ideal for controlling motor contactors, solenoid valves, and panel indicators. The 1756-OA16I employs opto-isolation technology to separate the backplane logic from field-side power, ensuring robust performance even in electrically noisy environments. Its design includes field-replaceable fuses per group and diagnostic LEDs for real-time fault detection. For seamless integration, the module supports both on-state and off-state leakage current specifications compliant with IEC 61131-2 standards. Below is the detailed technical specification table:
