A-B 1732E-OB16M12DR: Allen-Bradley Output Block
The A-B 1732E-OB16M12DR is an Allen-Bradley 1732E Output Block with Sixteen M12 Receptacles, manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It’s designed for use with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix 5000 and CompactLogix 5000 programmable automation controllers (PACs) in industrial automation applications.
Product Description:
This module provides sixteen digital output channels that can be used to control various devices like actuators, relays, or solenoid valves. The M12 receptacles offer a robust and secure connection method for industrial environments.
Product Parameters:
- I/O Type: Digital Output (DO)
- Number of Points: 16
- Connection Type: Sixteen M12 Receptacles (specific pin configuration might vary)
Product Specifications:
Detailed specifications can be found in the user manual, downloadable from the Rockwell Automation website or through authorized distributors:

-
- User Manual: The user manual will contain detailed specifications like:
- Voltage Rating: The voltage range that the block can provide on the output lines (e.g., 24VDC)
- Current Rating: The maximum current that each output point can deliver (e.g., 2 Amps)
- Output Current Sinking/Sourcing: Whether the module can source current to power devices (sourcing) or sink current from devices (sinking) to activate them.
- Output Logic: How the module interprets high and low signal levels for output activation (e.g., high signal = on, low signal = off)
- Short Circuit Protection: Information on any built-in features to protect against short circuits on the output lines.
- LED Status Indicators: Description of LED lights that indicate operating status and potential faults (e.g., power on, output active, error).
- Operating Temperature Range: The acceptable ambient temperature range for safe operation (e.g., -40 to 85°C).
- Dimensions and Weight
- Certifications: Safety and regulatory compliance information (e.g., CE, UL)
Additional Notes:
- M12 Connectors: M12 connectors are commonly used in industrial automation for data and power transmission. The specific pin configuration of the M12 receptacles on the 1732E-OB16M12DR might vary depending on the application. Consulting the user manual is crucial for proper wiring.
- Digital Output Signals: These are typically binary (high or low voltage) and are used to turn on or off devices based on the control program running on the PAC.
