The 1756-OB32 module is a digital output module manufactured by Allen Bradley, a brand owned by Rockwell Automation.
The 1756-OB32 module is a digital output module manufactured by Allen Bradley, a brand owned by Rockwell Automation. It is a part of the ControlLogix series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and is commonly used in industrial automation applications. Here are some key details about the 1756-OB32 module:
Output Channels: The 1756-OB32 module provides 32 digital output channels. Each channel can be used to control or activate external devices such as solenoids, motors, or indicators.
Output Type: The module supports digital output signals, typically in the form of voltage or current. The specific output type (voltage or current) depends on the backplane power supply used in the ControlLogix chassis.
Voltage Range: If the module is powered by a 24V DC backplane power supply, the voltage output range is typically 20.4-28.8V DC.
Current Range: If the module is powered by a 1756-PA75R power supply, the maximum output current per channel is 1.0A, with a collective current for all channels not exceeding 8.0A.
Isolation: The 1756-OB32 module provides electrical isolation between the output channels and the backplane, ensuring signal integrity and protection against electrical noise.
Diagnostic Features: The module incorporates diagnostic capabilities that monitor the status of the output channels. This includes information about open and short circuits, overloads, and other fault conditions.
Configuration: The module is configured using Rockwell Automation's programming software, such as RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000. Through the software, you can define the output channel settings and assign them to specific devices or equipment.
Compatibility: The 1756-OB32 module is designed to be used with ControlLogix PLC systems and is compatible with other modules, processors, and communication interfaces within the ControlLogix platform.
