Product Overview

1769-IQ16 is a CompactLogix 16-point DC input module used in 1769 Compact I/O systems, machine control panels, production line automation, and factory maintenance replacement projects. It is designed to collect discrete field signals from sensors, switches, push buttons, relay contacts, interlocks, and machine status devices, then bring these signals into the PLC control system for logic processing.

This model is commonly used in older CompactLogix installations where the existing 1769 I/O platform must be maintained. It is suitable for users who need to replace a failed input module, restore a machine after downtime, or keep spare parts for production equipment using 1769 Compact I/O architecture.

Main Features

• CompactLogix 1769 series digital input module
• 16-point DC input structure for discrete field signals
• Suitable for sensors, switches, contacts, and machine status inputs
• Used in compact PLC control panels and machine automation systems
• Common spare part for factory maintenance and equipment repair

Technical Specifications

Compatible System and Chassis Use
