Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following modules are commonly evaluated as replacements or equivalents for the 1769-OF2. Compatibility depends on your controller platform, backplane, and software version.
- 1769-OF4 — 4-point analog output, same 1769 series; direct upgrade if additional channels are needed
- 1769-OF8C — 8-point current-only analog output; suitable for high-density current output applications
- 1769-OF8V — 8-point voltage-only analog output; ideal for voltage-driven actuators
- 1756-OF2 (ControlLogix) — Functionally equivalent for ControlLogix platforms; not backplane-compatible with CompactLogix 1769
- 1762-OF4 (MicroLogix 1200/1500) — 4-point analog output for MicroLogix platforms; verify firmware compatibility
- WAGO 750-556 — Third-party 2-channel analog output module; requires fieldbus adapter; suitable for non-Rockwell systems
- Beckhoff KL4002 — 2-channel analog output terminal; compatible with Beckhoff Bus Terminal systems only
Note: Third-party replacements require additional configuration and may not support all Logix Designer features such as module-defined data types.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Native Logix Designer Integration: Full support for Add-On Instructions (AOI), module-defined tags, and Studio 5000 configuration without custom mapping
- Guaranteed Backplane Compatibility: Plug-and-play with all 1769 CompactLogix controllers (L1x, L2x, L3x series)
- Dual Output Mode: Single module supports both current and voltage outputs — reduces SKU count and spare parts inventory
- Rockwell Firmware Updates: Eligible for official firmware and security patches via FactoryTalk Update Manager
- Long-Term Support: Active product with Rockwell Automation’s standard 5-year support lifecycle
- Proven Reliability: Widely deployed in food & beverage, oil & gas, and water treatment industries globally
Typical Applications
- Control valve positioners (4–20 mA current loop)
- Variable frequency drive (VFD) speed reference signals
- Proportional solenoid valve control
- Process temperature and pressure setpoint transmission
- Conveyor speed regulation in packaging lines
- Pump flow rate control in water/wastewater treatment
- Burner management and combustion air control
System Compatibility
- Compatible Controllers: CompactLogix L1x, L2x, L3x; MicroLogix 1500 (with 1769 expansion)
- Software: Studio 5000 Logix Designer v16.0 and above; RSLogix 5000 v16+
- Backplane: 1769 Compact I/O backplane only — not compatible with 1756 ControlLogix or 1734 POINT I/O chassis
- Maximum Modules per System: Up to 8 expansion modules per CompactLogix controller (controller-dependent)
- Firmware: Module firmware auto-updated via controller; no separate firmware file required
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 1769-OF2 is the right module for your application:
- Output Channel Count: If 2 channels are sufficient, 1769-OF2 is optimal. For 4+ channels, consider 1769-OF4 or 1769-OF8C/V to reduce module slots used.
- Output Signal Type: Confirm whether your field devices require current (4–20 mA) or voltage (0–10 V / ±10 V). The OF2 supports both; the OF8C/V are signal-type specific.
- Controller Platform: Verify your controller is in the 1769 CompactLogix family. ControlLogix users should select 1756-series modules instead.
- Resolution Requirements: 12-bit resolution is standard for most process control. If higher precision is required, evaluate 1769-OF4 (also 12-bit) or third-party high-resolution alternatives.
- Budget vs. OEM: Third-party equivalents may reduce upfront cost but require additional engineering time for configuration and validation.
- Spare Parts Strategy: For facilities standardized on Rockwell, maintaining OEM spares ensures faster MTTR (Mean Time to Repair).

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 1769-OF2 with a 1769-OF4 without changing my program?
A: Yes, with minor tag remapping. The OF4 uses the same module-defined data structure but adds two additional output channels. Update your I/O configuration in Studio 5000 and verify tag assignments.
Q: Is the 1769-OF2 compatible with MicroLogix 1100?
A: No. The 1769 Compact I/O expansion is only supported by MicroLogix 1500 and CompactLogix controllers. MicroLogix 1100 uses 1762-series I/O exclusively.
Q: Can I use a third-party analog output module in place of the 1769-OF2?
A: Physically, no — the 1769 backplane connector is proprietary. Third-party modules must connect via a separate fieldbus (e.g., EtherNet/IP adapter), which adds latency and configuration complexity.
Q: What is the difference between 1769-OF2 and 1769-OF2CI?
A: The 1769-OF2CI is a conformal-coated variant designed for harsh environments with higher humidity or corrosive atmospheres. Electrically and functionally identical.
Q: How do I verify the firmware version of my 1769-OF2?
A: In Studio 5000 Logix Designer, navigate to the I/O Configuration tree, right-click the module, and select “Properties” → “General” tab to view the firmware revision.
Q: Do you offer warranty on surplus or refurbished units?
A: Yes. All refurbished and tested-surplus units carry a 90-day functional warranty. New OEM units follow Rockwell Automation’s standard warranty terms.
