Information About 1769-OA16

The 1769-OA16 is part of the Allen-Bradley 1769 Compact I/O series and serves as a modular digital AC output module for medium-voltage control applications. It features two isolated output groups, enabling different voltage classes to be used within a single module while maintaining stable operation. Compatible with both CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers, the module supports panel or DIN-rail mounting and conforms to typical wiring practices using solid or stranded copper conductors. With its robust output ratings, predictable switching delay, and 225 mA backplane load, the 1769-OA16 is designed to drive relays, solenoids, indicators, and AC loads reliably in distributed automation systems.

Key Features

  • Sixteen AC Output Channels: Provides 16 discrete AC outputs arranged in two groups of eight.
  • Wide Voltage Operating Range: Supports 85–264 VAC across 47–63 Hz for flexible application use.
  • Group Isolation: Each output group can operate on independent voltage classes.
  • Fast Switching Response: Offers consistent ½-cycle ON/OFF delay for responsive control.
  • Compact I/O Compatibility: Fully supported by CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 platforms.
  • Thermal-Rated Output Current: Supports 0.5 A per point at 30 °C and 0.25 A per point at 55 °C.
  • Durable Field Wiring Support: Accepts 22–14 AWG solid or 22–16 AWG stranded copper conductors.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Installs via DIN rail or direct panel mount using standard hardware.

The 1769-OA16 delivers the reliability and precision required for dependable AC output control in modern industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1769-OA16
Question: What controllers are compatible with the 1769-OA16?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1769-OA16 module is compatible with the following controllers:

  • CompactLogix controllers: It can be used as part of a CompactLogix system, providing AC output capabilities.
  • MicroLogix 1500 controllers: The module can also be integrated with MicroLogix 1500 systems, expanding their output options.

Ensure that the controller's firmware and configuration support the 1769-OA16 module for optimal performance.

Question: Why am I reading 120V AC on the output terminals of the 1769-OA16 even though the output is off and the indicator lights are off?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

This is a very common question and is generally not a sign that your 1769-OA16 module is faulty. The module uses solid-state triacs to control AC outputs, and these circuits often have a small leakage current even when the output is turned off. This leakage current can cause a voltage reading of around 120V AC at the output terminals, even though the indicator lights are off and the output is not energized in the PLC program. This voltage is not enough to drive a typical load but is sufficient to illuminate small devices like neon lamps or activate small PLC input circuits. This is simply the nature of triac circuits and is completely normal for this type of module. To properly test the output, connect a load (such as a relay coil or lamp) to the output terminals to sink the leakage current. If the load does not operate as expected, then further troubleshooting may be needed, but the presence of voltage alone without load activation is not an indication of a defective module.

Question: What is the maximum current output per channel and per module?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The maximum current output for the 1769-OA16 module varies based on ambient temperature:

Per channel:

  • 0.5 A at 30°C (86°F)
  • 0.25 A at 55°C (131°F)

Per module:

  • 4.0 A at 30°C (86°F)
  • 2.0 A at 55°C (131°F)

It's important to consider these limits during system design to prevent overloading the module.

Question: What is the response time for the 1769-OA16 outputs?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

The 1769-OA16 module has a response time of half an AC cycle for both ON and OFF transitions. This equates to approximately 8.33 milliseconds at 60 Hz or 10 milliseconds at 50 Hz.

Question: Is the 1769-OA16 still in production?
Date Update:06/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, the Allen-Bradley 1769-OA16 AC output module is currently in active production. It is available for purchase through authorized Rockwell Automation distributors and various industrial automation suppliers.
