Allen-Bradley 1756-OB32/A: Everyday Discrete Output Module for Factories

Introduction

Step onto a factory floor and you’ll notice how timing is everything. Pumps, solenoids, and indicator lights all need to switch on at the right moment, or production slows down. The 1756-OB32/A Allen-Bradley Discrete Output Module handles this task reliably. Operators often call 1756-OB32/A  a “smart switchboard” for the plant—The 1756-OB32/A Allen-Bradley Discrete Output Module controls multiple devices simultaneously and keeps things running smoothly. With 32 discrete outputs, each rated at 2 A, 24 V DC, plus hot-swapping, short-circuit protection, and built-in Diagnostics, 1756-OB32/A Allen-Bradley Discrete Output Module’s designed to minimize downtime and make maintenance easier.

Reliable Output Control for Daily Operations

The 1756-OB32/A manages 32 outputs at the same time. Each output can handle 2 A at 24 V DC, enough to run solenoids, relays, indicator lamps, and other devices. It supports both sourcing and sinking devices, so engineers can use it in different setups without extra adapters.

Technicians on the floor value these features:

• Reliable operation: Short-circuit protection keeps one faulty output from affecting others.

• Quick troubleshooting: The module’s Diagnostics show immediately which output has a problem.

• Compact design: Fits neatly in a ControlLogix rack.

• Hot-swapping: Replace the module without stopping the whole system.

Simply put, the Allen-Bradley 1756-OB32/A  Discrete Output Module removes guesswork and helps operators keep production steady.
