Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The following modules are commonly evaluated as replacements or functional equivalents for the 1769-IQ32T. Always verify firmware compatibility and I/O configuration before substitution.
- 1769-IQ32 — 32-point 24VDC sourcing (PNP) input; same form factor, opposite polarity. Suitable if field wiring supports sourcing topology.
- 1769-IQ16 — 16-point 24VDC sinking input; half the density, same signal type. Use when only 16 inputs are required.
- 1769-IQ16F — 16-point fast-response sinking input; suitable for high-speed encoder or pulse applications.
- 1769-IM12 — 12-point 120VAC input module; for legacy AC field devices in the same rack.
- 5069-IB16 — Compact 5000 platform 16-point 24VDC sinking input; next-generation replacement for new system designs.
- 5069-IB32 — Compact 5000 platform 32-point 24VDC sinking input; direct density equivalent for system migrations to the 5069 platform.
Note: Cross-platform replacements (5069 series) require a compatible Compact 5000 controller and updated Studio 5000 project configuration.
Why Choose the Original 1769-IQ32T
- Proven field reliability — Widely deployed in automotive, food & beverage, and material handling industries worldwide.
- Maximum I/O density — 32 points in a single 35 mm wide slot reduces panel footprint and wiring complexity.

Selection Guide
Use the criteria below to confirm the 1769-IQ32T is the right module for your application, or to identify the best alternative:
- Input count needed: If ≤16 points → consider 1769-IQ16; if 32 points → 1769-IQ32T is optimal.
- Wiring topology: NPN/sinking field devices → 1769-IQ32T; PNP/sourcing field devices → 1769-IQ32.
- Signal voltage: 24VDC → 1769-IQ32T; 120VAC → 1769-IM12.
- Response speed: Standard (>1 ms) → 1769-IQ32T; high-speed (<0.1 ms) → 1769-IQ16F.
- Platform migration: New system design → evaluate Compact 5000 (5069-IB32) for future scalability.
- Series A vs. later series: Series A is fully supported; verify firmware version compatibility with your controller revision.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 1769-IQ32T with a 1769-IQ32 without rewiring?
A: No. The IQ32T is sinking (NPN) and the IQ32 is sourcing (PNP). Swapping requires reversing field wiring polarity.
Q: Is the 1769-IQ32T compatible with MicroLogix controllers?
A: No. The 1769 Compact I/O series is designed exclusively for CompactLogix controllers. MicroLogix uses a different I/O bus.
Q: Can I mix Series A and Series B modules in the same rack?
A: Yes, different series can coexist in the same rack. Verify that your controller firmware supports all installed module series.
Q: What is the maximum number of 1769-IQ32T modules per CompactLogix system?
A: Up to 30 expansion modules total, subject to the backplane current budget of your power supply.
Q: Does the 1769-IQ32T support diagnostics?
A: Basic diagnostics (module fault, communication fault) are available via the controller tag structure in Studio 5000. It does not support point-level diagnostics.
