The Allen-Bradley 1791-OA16 is a Block I/O module that features Sixteen (16) 20-132VAC output channels with frequency of 47-63 Hz. This module is provided with Two (2) groups of Eight (8) output channels capable of energizing electrical loads such as pilot lamps, buzzer, siren, relays, contactors and other devices.
The 1791-OA16 is compatible for use with the legacy PLC-2, PLC-3, PLC-5/20, and PLC-5 Programmable Logix Controllers. This module acts as a distributed input and output module, contributing to overall cost effectivity by eliminating the need of long distance signal cable runs as this module allows installation near the electrical devices. Additionally, this module has a small form factor that requires minimum pane space.
