Discrete Output Modules | Allen-Bradley 1794-OV16P
The 1794-OV16P is an Allen-Bradley FLEX I/O discrete output module that provides 16 current-sinking outputs for 24 VDC industrial control applications. Designed for space-saving DIN rail mounting within an IP20 open-style enclosure system, it features integrated electronic protection to safeguard against overcurrent conditions without requiring external fast-acting fuses.
Signal Configuration and Sinking Logic
The module routes DC current from connected field loads to the common DC supply return across 16 independent channel points. Operating at a nominal 24 VDC control level, the sinking logic configuration makes it suitable for switching solenoid valves, indicator lights, and relay coils where load power is sourced separately from the field power distribution bus.
Fault Protection and Modular Installation
Integrated electronic protection continuously monitors output current levels to prevent module failure caused by short circuits or excessive field load draws. As part of the FLEX I/O architecture, the module mounts onto a compatible terminal base unit, allowing maintenance personnel to perform wiring termination independently of the I/O electronics and facilitate module replacement without disturbing field wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the "P" suffix indicate on the 1794-OV16P module? A: The "P" suffix designates integrated electronic protection, which shields the 16 output circuits against short circuits and current overloads without needing external fusing.
Q: Is the 1794-OV16P a sourcing or sinking output module? A: The 1794-OV16P is a sinking output module, meaning it provides a current path to ground/DC common for connected 24 VDC loads.
