Description

The Allen-Bradley 1756-OA16I is a 16-point AC digital output module engineered for the ControlLogix programmable automation controller platform. It provides individually isolated output channels for switching 120/240V AC loads in industrial automation applications, with each channel electrically separated from all others and from the backplane to prevent ground loop issues and fault propagation.

Each of the 16 outputs is independently isolated, allowing the module to switch loads at different AC potentials or phases without interaction between channels. This isolation is rated at 250 V continuous with routine testing at 1350 V AC for 2 seconds, ensuring reliable performance in electrically noisy industrial environments. The zero-crossing inhibit voltage of 60 V peak minimizes inrush current and electromagnetic interference by switching AC loads only at the voltage zero crossing point.

Features:

  • 16 individually isolated AC outputs
  • 120/240V AC operating voltage range
  • Pilot duty rated at 2A
  • High surge current capability
  • Scheduled outputs with fault state configuration
  • 250V continuous isolation voltage
The Allen-Bradley 1756-OA16I ControlLogix AC Output Module is a high-performance digital output module designed to provide reliable switching of AC-powered field devices in industrial automation systems. The module offers sixteen individually isolated output channels capable of controlling loads operating at nominal voltages of 120 VAC and 240 VAC. Each channel utilizes triac output technology to provide dependable switching performance and electrical isolation from adjacent channels.

Designed for installation in a ControlLogix chassis, the 1756-OA16I communicates through the ControlLogix backplane and receives output commands directly from the system controller. The module's isolated architecture helps protect the control system from field-side disturbances and allows independent operation of connected devices across different electrical circuits.

The 1756-OA16I Allen-Bradley ControlLogix AC Output Module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Current capacity is 2 A per point at 30°C with linear derating to 1 A per point at 60°C. The module supports a maximum total current of 5 A at 30°C and 4 A at 60°C across all 16 points. A surge current capability of 20 A for 43 ms per point, repeatable every 2 seconds, allows the module to withstand the high inrush currents of cold incandescent lamps, transformer primaries, and capacitor-input power supplies. The minimum load current of 10 mA per point ensures reliable operation with small indicator lamps and solid-state relays.
The 1756-OA16I draws 300 mA from the 5.1 VDC backplane and 2.5 mA from the 24 VDC backplane, consuming a total of 1.59 W. Maximum power dissipation is 5.5 W at 60°C, with thermal dissipation of 18.76 BTU/hr. These low power requirements minimize heat generation in densely populated chassis configurations.

Wiring Order: Begin wiring from the bottom terminals and work your way up to ensure proper organization.
Strain Relief: Secure the wires into the strain relief area (bottom of the RTB) using a tie wrap.
Heavy Gauge Wires: If your application requires heavier gauge wires, order and use an extended-depth housing (catalog number 1756-TBE or 1756-TBEXT).

Technical notes

The module operates over a wide voltage range of 74 to 265 V AC at 47 to 63 Hz, accommodating both 120 V and 240 V nominal systems with significant tolerance for voltage sags and swells common in industrial power distribution. Output delay times are 9.3 ms at 60 Hz and 11 ms at 50 Hz for both turn-on and turn-off transitions, providing predictable switching behavior for time-critical control applications.

FAQs

  • What are the backplane power requirements?

    +
    The module draws 400 mA at 5.1 VDC and 2 mA at 24 VDC from the ControlLogix chassis power supply
  • What is the response time for turning outputs on and off?

    +
    The typical signal delay from OFF to ON is 9.3 ms (at 60 Hz) and 11 ms (at 50 Hz); the same delay applies from ON to OFF.
  • What are the current ratings and load limits?

    +
    Each point delivers continuous current derating to 1.0 A @ 30 °C, and 0.5 A @ 60 °C. The minimum load is 10 mA per output channel.
  • What does the I in 1756-OA16I stand for?

    +
    The "I" stands for Individually Isolated. This means each of the 16 output points has its own separate return/common, allowing you to control devices using different voltage potentials or phases without interfering with one another.
