Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
Allen-Bradley 1794-OB8EP is an eight-channel FLEX I/O electronically protected DC sourcing output module. It switches 24 V DC field loads and reports channel protection status through the FLEX I/O system.
  • Sources field current from eight independently addressed output points
  • Limits fault energy through electronic output protection
  • Transfers output commands over the FLEX I/O backplane
  • Supports fuse reset through the module button or output image

1794-OB8EP operates with 1794 terminal base, FLEX I/O adapter, 24 V DC field supply, sourcing-compatible field loads.
Typical engineered duties include 24 V DC solenoid control, Interposing relay drive, Machine actuator outputs, Protected distributed-output stations.

Important Notice: Before energizing 1794-OB8EP, confirm terminal-base compatibility, keying, output/common assignments, per-channel load and the 10 A module-current limit.

Read the applicable Allen-Bradley installation instructions before work. Verify 1794-OB8EP and the installed-system configuration.
1
Select an approved 1794 terminal base and set key position 2.
2
Keep total module current within the permitted channel-loading combinations.
3
De-energize field power before landing or moving conductors.
4
Reset an electronic fuse only after the field fault has been found and corrected.
5
Commission 1794-OB8EP under controlled conditions and retain the completed functional-test record before release.

Technical notes

1794-OB8EP uses even-numbered terminal positions for outputs on the supported base arrangements. Commission each load with the field supply controlled and verify that no electronic-fuse indication remains active.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • Which terminal bases accept 1794-OB8EP?
    Rockwell Automation lists 1794-TB2, 1794-TB3, 1794-TB3S, 1794-TBN and the corresponding K variants in the installation instructions.
  • What is the output polarity of 1794-OB8EP?
    It is a sourcing DC output module for loads wired to the module's output and common arrangement.
  • How much current can one 1794-OB8EP channel switch?
    A channel is rated up to 2 A, while all output loading must also remain within the 10 A module limit.
  • How are electronic fuses reset on 1794-OB8EP?
    Correct the field fault first, then use the module reset button, the documented output-image reset bit or a controlled backplane-power cycle.
  • Which key position is used for 1794-OB8EP?
    Set the terminal-base keyswitch to position 2 before inserting the module.
  • Does 1794-OB8EP provide channel-to-channel isolation?
    No. The published isolation is between the field side and system side, not between individual outputs.
  • How should surge loads be reviewed for 1794-OB8EP?
    Compare the load inrush profile with the published 4 A for 50 ms every three seconds surge capability and the module current limit.
  • What completes commissioning of 1794-OB8EP?
    Prove each addressed output, confirm field voltage and load response, clear protection indications and verify the final safe state.
