PLC module — Model 1769IA16 Key benefits Integrates discrete field signals into PLC logic quickly and reliably, simplifying sensor and switch monitoring. Compact footprint fits tight control panels, enabling I/O expansion without large cabinet changes. Industrialgrade design provides consistent, dependable operation in production and machinecontrol environments. What it does 1769IA16 is a PLC input module that accepts 16 discrete input points (IA16 = 16 inputs) and presents those digital signals to the host PLC for processing. Converts fieldlevel on/off signals from sensors, switches and contacts into PLCreadable data for control, sequencing and safety interlocks. Compatibility and form factor Designed for systems that accept 1769series modules and Compactstyle PLC bases or racks, making it suitable for modular I/O architectures and field expansion. Compact module size minimizes panel space requirements and simplifies wiring layout. Industrial construction intended for standard control environments; mounts and connects as part of a modular PLC I/O assembly. Performance and reliability Delivers stable, repeatable input detection to support machine control, tracking and automation logic. Built for continuous industrial use with a focus on predictable performance and straightforward integration. Clear point mapping makes commissioning and troubleshooting faster for maintenance teams. Typical applications Conveyor and material handling systems: monitor photoeyes, limit switches and presence sensors to control sorting, accumulation and transfer logic. Machine control panels: read start/stop buttons, safety switches and interlocks to ensure coordinated machine sequences. Productionline I/O expansion: add digital inputs to an existing PLC system for additional sensors or workstations without replacing the main controller. Why choose this module Simple, direct solution for adding discrete inputs to a compatible PLC system. Reduces wiring complexity and preserves cabinet space while maintaining industrial reliability. Well suited for OEM machines, retrofit projects and plantfloor expansions where predictable input handling is required.
