Product Summary
The 1794-IB10XOB6 integrates ten digital inputs and six digital outputs into one compact module. This unit operates at a nominal 24 VDC for both its sink inputs and source outputs. It provides a reliable and space-saving solution for demanding industrial control applications.
Why Choose the 1794-IB10XOB6 for Your System?
This module offers a unique combination of input and output channels. It reduces the need for multiple separate modules, which saves valuable panel space. The 1794-IB10XOB6 simplifies wiring and lowers your total system cost.
The unit features ten current sink inputs. Each input draws only 8 mA at 24 VDC. This design minimizes power consumption and heat generation. The module also provides six current source outputs.
Each output channel can drive up to 2 Amperes. This high current capacity allows you to control solenoids and small motors directly. You do not need additional interposing relays for many standard loads.
Key Technical Specifications for Engineers
The module operates within a wide temperature range. It functions reliably from -20°C to 55°C. This makes it suitable for many factory floor environments.
The nominal input impedance is 4.8 kilohms. This high impedance ensures signal integrity across long cable runs. The module draws only 50 mA from the Flexbus backplane, minimizing total system power usage.
The unit has no IP rating. You must install it inside a sealed enclosure to protect it from dust and moisture. This is standard practice for open-style industrial electronics.
Installation and Compatibility Guide
The 1794-IB10XOB6 mounts directly onto a compatible terminal base unit. The recommended base is the Allen-Bradley 1794-TB3. This base provides 52 screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring.
The 1794-TB3 supports daisy-chaining for power distribution. This feature simplifies wiring for multiple modules on the same rail. The module connects to the Flexbus backplane automatically when installed.
You must use a 24 VDC power supply for both the input and output circuits. The input type is current sink, and the output type is current source. Verify your field device polarity matches these configurations.
