The Allen-Bradley 5069-OB16 is a Discrete output module that belongs to the Compact 5000 I/O product family. It provides an output voltage range of 10-32VDC with nominal output of 24VDC. It has an output current rating of 0.5 A resistive per channel @ 10…32V DC and 8 A resistive per module @ 10…32V DC, max. Each channel is able to withstand maximum surge current of 1 A for 10 ms per point that is repeatable for every 2s.

Similar to other output modules, this module is mainly used to energize and actuate electrical loads. However, the 5069-OB16 is compatible with devices that operates at voltage category of 12/24VDC. This module has a minimum On-state voltage of 10VDC and maximum of 32VDC with minimum On-state current of 1 mA per channel. Each channel has an output delay time of ? 100 µs, ±10 µs @ 25 °C (77 °F) @ 0.5 A for On to Off and Off to On transitions. The module’s output has a minimum pulse width of 200 µs @ 0.5 A @ 25 °C (77 °F).

The 5069-OB16 internally features Filed Power Loss detection, No Load detection for each channel and individual Output short circuit, Output overload and overtemperature detection per channel. It is also equipped with Reverse polarity detection and Overvoltage detection with rating of 36VDC. This module has internal fuse protection.

The 5069-OB16 outputs can be controlled even if the controller or module has entered Fault mode, Program mode and fault state. Configurable states include Hold Last State, On and Off which is the default setting.

The nonoperating shock of this module is 50g (3 pulses, 11 ms). The vibration of this module is 5g at 10 to 500 Hz. The weight of this module is around 175g (0.39 lb). The enclosure style of this module is none (open-style enclosure). The Allen-Bradley 5069-OB16 has an ESD immunity of 6 kV in contact discharges and 8 kV in air discharges. The Allen-Bradley 5069-OB16 has a voltage category of 12-24V DC source. The outputs are 16 channels (1 group of 16). The maximum power dissipation of this module is 3.25 W (16 channels at 0.5 A). The maximum thermal dissipation of this module is 11.09 BTU/hr. This module has 1 green/red module status indicator and 16 yellow/red I/O status indicators. The Allen-Bradley 5069-OB16 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge, which can cause internal damage and affect operation. Never touch the connectors or the pins on the component board, never touch the circuit components inside the equipment, and always use a static-free workstation.
