CompactLogix 16 Pt 24VDC D/I Module

Description: The Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ16K is a Compact I/O digital input module that works with CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. It has 16 digital input channels, divided into two groups of eight, and supports both sink and source input configurations, allowing for flexible integration with a wide range of DC-powered devices, including sensors, switches, and relays. The "K" suffix on the 1769-IQ16K distinguishes it from the normal 1769-IQ16 and denotes the presence of conformal coating. This covering protects the module's internal circuitry from moisture, dust, and corrosive pollutants, making it ideal for usage in severe industrial settings such as chemical factories, food processing facilities, and outdoor installations. The module operates within a voltage range of 10-30V DC at 30°C and 10-26.4V DC at 60°C, with an average input delay time of 8 ms. It contains LED indicators for each input channel to help with diagnostics and system monitoring. The module fits easily on a DIN rail or panel and communicates with the controller via the 1769 backplane. With its high-density input capacity, environmental robustness, and various wiring options, the 1769-IQ16K is a dependable choice for digital signal acquisition in demanding automation applications.
