Process Control Solution – Allen-Bradley 1756-OF6CI/A | ControlLogix Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Allen-Bradley 1756-OF6CI/A is engineered for demanding industrial environments where signal isolation, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable. Typical deployment scenarios include:
- Oil & Gas Processing Plants – Driving control valves and actuators in hazardous-area loops where ground isolation prevents noise-induced faults.
- Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – Precise 4–20 mA or 0–10 V output to dosing pumps, variable-speed drives, and modulating valves in GMP-regulated lines.
- Power Generation & Utilities – Isolated outputs eliminate ground loops in high-voltage environments, protecting both instrumentation and personnel.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment – Continuous analog setpoint delivery to flow-control valves and pump drives across electrically noisy plant infrastructure.
- Automotive & Heavy Industry – Coordinating multi-axis motion and tension control where channel-to-channel isolation prevents cross-talk between independent drive loops.
- Food & Beverage Processing – Hygienic-area installations requiring isolated outputs to meet sanitation and electrical safety standards.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- True Channel Isolation – Each of the 6 output channels is fully isolated from every other channel and from the backplane, eliminating ground loops in multi-loop installations.
- High-Resolution 16-Bit Output – Delivers fine-grained setpoint control critical for precision dosing, tension regulation, and valve positioning.
- Flexible Signal Ranges – Supports current and voltage output modes configurable in software, reducing the need for separate module types.
- Seamless ControlLogix Integration – Native backplane communication with Logix 5000 controllers; no external signal conditioning required.
- Diagnostic Reporting – On-board diagnostics detect open-wire, over-range, and under-range conditions, surfacing faults directly in Studio 5000.
- Compact 1756 Form Factor – Fits any standard ControlLogix chassis, maximising I/O density in existing panel layouts.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 1756-OF6CI/A drive a 4–20 mA loop-powered transmitter directly?
A: No — the module sources current into a load; it is not loop-powered. The field device must be separately powered. Maximum load resistance is 1000 Ω for current outputs.
Q: Is channel-to-channel isolation sufficient for ATEX Zone 1 installations?
A: The 1756-OF6CI/A is rated for Zone 2. For Zone 1 applications, pair with a certified Zener barrier or galvanic isolator in the field wiring circuit.
Q: What firmware version is required in the controller for full diagnostic support?
A: Logix 5000 firmware v20 or later is recommended to access all on-board diagnostic tags for the 1756-OF6CI/A.
Q: Can I mix current and voltage outputs on the same module?
A: Yes — each channel is independently configurable for current or voltage output via the Studio 5000 module properties dialog.
Q: Is the /A revision the latest available?
A: Rockwell Automation may release subsequent revisions. Contact us to confirm the latest available revision and compatibility with your existing chassis firmware.
