The 5094-IB16XT sinking input module is a digital 16-point standard sinking input module that has been designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley in the FLEX 5000 safety series of I/O modules. It is made to work with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5380, Compact GuardLogix 5380, ControlLogix 5580, and GuardLogix 5580 series controllers. The 5094-IB16XT sinking input module has 16 I/O points for connection and communication. The minimum on-state current rating per I/O channel is 1 milliamp. It is rated for an on-state voltage range of 18 to 32 Volts DC voltage and it can operate safely in extreme industrial environments. The 5094-IB16XT sinking input module is rated as a standard module rather than a safety module because it does not come with the functional safety capabilities that the safety modules have.

The Allen-Bradley 5094-IB16XT FLEX 5000 digital 16-point standard sinking input module is designed to be used by an Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 controller to control 1 or more devices in an industrial machine or control system like an assembly line or manufacturing rig. The 5094-IB16XT sinking input module communicates through the Producer/Consumer network that allows for intelligent data exchange between the 5094-IB16XT sinking input module and other modules, and all the modules in the system can produce data without being polled first on this network. This FLEX 5000 module can be configured as a remote I/O module on the EtherNet/IP network too. The off-state voltage rating of the 5094-IB16XT sinking input module 5 Volts DC maximum and the maximum off-state current is 1.5 milliamps.
