Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ16 16-Channel Analog Input Module

Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ16 is a 16-channel digital input module in the Compact I/O lineup that accepts 24V DC signals from sensors and switches and can be wired for either sinking or sourcing inputs. It installs in a 1769 Compact I/O backplane and is designed for use with Rockwell Automation CompactLogix controllers, enabling straightforward integration into 24V automation systems. Each of its 16 points provides a discrete digital input to the controller, making it suitable for reading field devices such as limit switches, pushbuttons, proximity sensors, and door interlocks on automated lines. The module is commonly used in manufacturing and packaging environments to monitor machine states, guards, and process signals, and it can be paired with standard 1769 terminal blocks like the 1769-RTBN18 for field wiring. In a typical control panel, you would assign a unique I/O address to each channel, enabling the PLC to detect the on/off status of all connected sensors with a single 16-point block. Because it belongs to the 1769 Compact I/O family, it shares the same hardware platform, backplane interface, and configuration workflow as other 16- and 32-point I/O modules in the CompactLogix ecosystem, simplifying upgrades and expansion.
