Allen-Bradley | 1769-OA16 | Compact I/O

Product Description: Allen-Bradley 1769-OA16

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OA16 is a 16-point digital output module designed for use with CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. It provides AC output switching for controlling 120/240V AC field devices such as pilot lights, motor starters, and relays. The module uses triac-based output circuits suitable for resistive and inductive AC loads in industrial environments.
