Allen-Bradley 1794-OV32 | FLEX I/O Communication Module

Product Overview

The 1794-OV32 from Allen-Bradley is a FLEX I/O communication module designed for industrial machine networks. It operates safely in non-hazardous environments and supports overvoltage conditions up to Category II.

This module is classified as Group 1, Class A equipment, ensuring compliance with standard industrial communication requirements. The 1794-OV32 features 32 yellow status indicators for clear and efficient monitoring of input/output signals.

The module ships as open equipment and must be installed inside a protective enclosure to safeguard it from water, dust, debris, flames, and electrostatic discharge. Proper grounding using a zinc-plated yellow chromate steel DIN rail enhances electrical safety.

Installation is flexible, allowing placement on a terminal base with a keyswitch. Terminal screw torque requirements depend on the chosen terminal base. The module is engineered for both operational durability and compact installation.
