FLEX I/O Digital DC Protected Output Modules
• 1794-OB16P provides 16 sourcing 1/2 Amp outputs self-protected 
against shorts, overloads, and over temperature. The faulted output will 
automatically return when the fault is removed. No feedback to the 
processor is provided.
• 1794-OB16PXT is the extended temperature version of the 1794-OB16P 
module. The module is conformal coated.
• 1794-OB8EP provides 8 sourcing 2 Amp outputs with electronic fuse type 
of overload protection, which opens when overloaded. The fuse can be 
'reset' several ways. Fault status is provided to the processor.
• 1794-OB8EPXT is the extended temperature version of the 1794-OB8EP 
module. The module is conformal coated.
• 1794-OB32P provides 32 self-protected sourcing 1/2 Amp outputs in 2 
groups of 16 outputs. Separate voltage sources can be used with 
each group.
• 1794-OV16P is the sinking version of the 1794-OB16P.
