AB 1732E-OB16M12R

  • 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).

Additional Notes:

  • M12 Connectors: M12 connectors are a common industrial connector type used for data and power transmission in automation applications. The 1732E-OB16M12R uses M12 receptacles for connecting output devices. These connectors offer various pin configurations depending on the application.
  • Digital Output Signals: These signals are typically binary (high or low voltage) and are used to turn on or off various devices based on the control program running on the PAC.

Important Note:

The information above is based on publicly available resources and might not be entirely comprehensive. It’s always recommended to consult the user manual or contact Rockwell Automation support for the most accurate details on the 1732E-OB16M12R, especially for critical aspects like:

  • Exact voltage and current ratings for safe operation with your specific application.
  • Compatibility with specific M12 connector wiring schemes based on the pin configuration of your chosen M12 cables.
  • Any specific programming considerations for the digital output signals within the ControlLogix/CompactLogix environment.
