Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ6XOW4 Combination Module

The Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ6XOW4 is a CompactLogix combination I/O module that provides a 10-point digital I/O block: six 24V DC digital inputs (sinking or sourcing) and four relay outputs. The inputs accept 10–30 V DC signals (nominally 24 V DC) with an input impedance around 3 kΩ, and typical input switching delays are on the order of 8 ms for both on and off transitions. The four relay outputs are rated for 5–265 V AC or 5–125 V DC, enabling direct control of a variety of loads such as indicators, solenoids, or small actuators. Electrical isolation between the field I/O and the control logic is rated up to 1200 V AC for 1 second or 1697 V DC, providing protection against transients and voltage spikes in industrial environments. Operating from a 24 V DC power domain, the IQ6XOW4 is designed to slot into a CompactLogix I/O chassis and share the 1769 I/O bus with other compatible modules, offering scalable expansion of digital inputs and relay outputs without external interface modules. This makes it suitable for applications like machine control, packaging lines, and simple process automation where a compact, integrated mixed-input/mixed-output solution is advantageous.
