Information About 1794-OB8

The 1794-OB8 is part of the Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O family, designed for modular and scalable distributed I/O systems. It provides 8 DC sourcing outputs with an operating range of 10–31.2V DC and supports an external power supply with up to 5% AC ripple. The module ensures fast switching performance with a maximum output delay time of 0.5 ms (off-to-on) and 1 ms (on-to-off). Compatible terminal bases include 1794-TB3, 1794-TB3S, and 1794-TBKD, which allow quick installation and wiring. The design supports RIUP (Removal and Insertion Under Power), minimizing downtime by enabling module replacement without shutting down the system. The 1794-OB8 integrates into control architectures via ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, or Universal Remote I/O adapters, ensuring flexible communication. It also includes 16 yellow LED indicators for clear output channel status monitoring. With operating conditions of 0–55 °C and 5–95% non-condensing humidity, plus extended XT versions rated -20 to 70 °C, the module is suitable for both standard and harsh industrial environments.

Key Features:

  • Design: Compact FLEX I/O module with 8 DC sourcing output channels.
  • Voltage Range: Operates at 10–31.2V DC with nominal 24V output.
  • Performance: Fast switching with 0.5 ms (ON) and 1 ms (OFF) delay times.
  • Connectivity: Compatible with terminal bases 1794-TB3, 1794-TB3S, and 1794-TBKD.
  • Communication: Supports integration via ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, and Universal Remote I/O.
  • Ease of Maintenance: RIUP capability allows hot-swapping without shutting down the system.
  • Diagnostics: Equipped with 16 yellow LED indicators for per-channel output status.
  • Durability: Standard operating range 0–55 °C, with XT versions rated for -20–70 °C.

The 1794-OB8 delivers flexible, reliable, and high-performance digital output control for industrial automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1794-OB8
Question: What is the 1794-OB8 used for?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

The 1794-OB8 is an 8-point digital DC output module from the Flex I/O series. It is used to control 24V DC output devices such as solenoids, relays, pilot lights, and other actuators in distributed I/O applications.

Question: Is the 1794-OB8 a sourcing or sinking module?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

The 1794-OB8 is a sourcing (positive logic) output module. It provides a positive voltage to the load when the output is ON. Devices connected to it must be of the sinking type (they sink current to ground).

Question: What is the power requirement for this module?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

The module does not consume power from the field side directly but receives power through the Flex I/O adapter and terminal base. Each output channel can handle up to 0.5 A, and the module supports up to 4 A total across all channels.

Question: Is the 1794-OB8 hot-swappable?
Date Update:23/05/2025
Answer:

Yes. When used with compatible adapters and software, Flex I/O modules like the 1794-OB8 can be hot-swapped, meaning they can be replaced without shutting down the entire system.
