Digital I/O Modules | Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ6XOW4
The 1769-IQ6XOW4 is a compact digital combination I/O module designed for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix systems and MicroLogix 1500 expansion assemblies. Providing a flexible, space-saving solution for small-to-medium control applications, it combines six 24 VDC sink/source digital inputs and four normally open AC/DC relay contact outputs on a single Compact I/O footprint.
Digital Inputs and Relay Outputs
The input section features six 24 VDC Type 3 IEC-compliant channels supporting both sinking and sourcing field configurations. Operating across a voltage window of 10 to 30 VDC at 30 °C (derated to 10–26.4 VDC at 60 °C), the inputs handle continuous field signal monitoring with a maximum inrush current of 250 mA.
The output section contains four individually isolated, normally open (Form A) relay contacts rated for switching voltages between 5 and 265 VAC, or 5 and 125 VDC. The contacts support a maximum switching current of 2.5 A per channel, with an aggregate module capacity of 8.0 A across all four relay outputs.
Mechanical Design and Bus Powering
The module features a tongue-and-groove side locking mechanism for direct panel or DIN-rail mounting without a separate chassis backplane. Communication and internal power distribution pass through an integrated movable bus connector. The module draws operating power directly from the backplane bus, consuming 105 mA at 5 VDC and 50 mA at 24 VDC.
Field connections attach to a removable 18-point terminal block (1769-RTBN18), accepting 22 to 14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire rated for 90 °C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the inputs on the 1769-IQ6XOW4 be wired for both sinking and sourcing devices? A: Yes, all six input points support sink or source wiring depending on how the common terminal is referenced to the 24 VDC field power supply.
Q: What is the maximum distance the 1769-IQ6XOW4 can be placed from the system power supply? A: The module has a Power Supply Distance Rating of 8, meaning it must be installed within 8 slot positions of the 1769 system power supply.
