The 1756-OH8I from Allen-Bradley is a high-performance 8-channel isolated digital output module within the ControlLogix platform. Engineered for environments requiring galvanic separation between outputs, this module delivers robust sourcing outputs at 24V DC, with each channel individually isolated to prevent ground loops and cross-talk. Ideal for driving solenoids, contactors, and indicator lights in harsh industrial settings, the 1756-OH8I supports hot-swap replacement under power (RIUP) and provides real-time diagnostics via front-panel LEDs. Its compact form factor fits any ControlLogix chassis, and it operates reliably across -20°C to +60°C. Below is the detailed technical specification table based on standard Allen-Bradley documentation.
