The 1794-OB16D is a 16-point sourcing output module from Allen-Bradley’s FLEX I/O family, engineered for reliable control of on/off devices in harsh industrial environments. This module delivers 16 discrete outputs with 24V DC sourcing capability, each protected against overloads and short circuits. Its compact form factor and hot-swappable design simplify field wiring and reduce system downtime. The 1794-OB16D integrates directly with FLEX I/O adapters via a backplane interface, supporting high-speed data exchange to PLCs and DCS systems. Typical applications include conveyor control, packaging machinery, and material handling where robust, isolated output channels are critical.
