Engineering Advantages
- Configurable Input Filtering: Software-selectable filter times (0, 1, 2, 9, 18 ms) allow noise immunity tuning without hardware changes — critical for high-vibration environments.
- Sink/Source Flexibility: IEC Type 1 compatibility supports both NPN and PNP field devices without rewiring.
- High Channel Density: 16 points in a single 35 mm slot minimizes panel footprint and reduces per-channel cost.
- Removable Terminal Block: RTB design enables module replacement without disturbing field wiring — reducing MTTR in production environments.
- Native Studio 5000 Integration: Add-On Profiles (AOPs) provide auto-configuration, tag generation, and online diagnostics within the Logix environment.
- LED Status Indicators: Per-channel I/O status LEDs enable rapid field-level diagnostics without a laptop.
- 1500V AC Isolation: Robust channel-to-backplane isolation protects the controller from field-side transients and ground loops.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 1769-IQ16 mounts directly to the CompactLogix 1769 backplane (local or expansion chassis) and communicates via the proprietary 1769 Compact I/O bus. Field devices (proximity sensors, limit switches, pushbuttons) connect to the 20-pin RTB. Each input channel passes through a configurable digital filter before presenting a logic-level signal to the backplane. The controller maps input data to a 16-bit input word (I.Data[0]) accessible in the Logix tag database. Diagnostic bits (I.Fault, I.DiagnosticActive) are available for program-level fault handling.
Typical Wiring Topology: Field sensor (+) → Input terminal (Ix) | Common (–) → COM terminal | 24VDC supply → module power via backplane or local power supply (1769-PA2 / 1769-PB2).

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 1769-IQ16 compatible with CompactLogix L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 controllers?
A: Yes. The 1769-IQ16 is compatible with all CompactLogix controllers that support the 1769 Compact I/O bus, including L23, L24, L27, L30, L31, L32, L33, L35, L43, and L45 series.
Q: Can I use this module with a MicroLogix controller?
A: No. The 1769 Compact I/O bus is exclusive to CompactLogix platforms. MicroLogix uses the 1762 (MicroLogix 1200/1500) or 1769 bus only via specific expansion modules — verify compatibility with your specific MicroLogix catalog number.
Q: What is the maximum number of 1769-IQ16 modules per system?
A: Limited by the controller’s I/O capacity and backplane current budget. Refer to the specific CompactLogix controller user manual for maximum local and expansion I/O slot counts.
Q: Does the module support diagnostics?
A: Yes. The module provides fault and diagnostic active bits accessible via the Logix tag database (I.Fault[x], I.DiagnosticActive[x]) for program-level fault handling.
Q: What field sensor types are compatible?
A: Any 24VDC discrete sensor with NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output — including inductive proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, mechanical limit switches, and pushbuttons.
