The 1756-OB32 is a high-performance digital DC output module from the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix family, engineered to deliver reliable and precise control in demanding industrial automation applications. This 32-point module operates at 24V DC with sink/source output logic, providing exceptional density to optimize panel layout and reduce wiring complexity. It features individual point-level diagnostics, short-circuit protection, and electrical isolation, ensuring robust operation in environments prone to electrical noise or voltage transients. Designed for hot-swapping in ControlLogix chassis, the 1756-OB32 supports seamless system expansion and maintenance without disrupting critical processes. Each output is rated for 0.5A continuous current, with a total module current capacity of 8A at 60°C, making it ideal for driving solenoids, relays, indicators, and other discrete actuators in manufacturing, oil and gas, or water treatment systems.
