Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the 1769-OB32 is unavailable or under evaluation, the following models may serve as functional replacements or equivalents depending on your system requirements:
- 1769-OB16 – 16-point sourcing output, same series; use two modules to match 32-point capacity
- 1769-OB32T – 32-point sourcing output with individually isolated commons; enhanced isolation version
- 1769-OW8 – 8-point relay output; suitable when higher switching voltage or AC loads are required
- 1756-OB32 (ControlLogix) – 32-point sourcing output for ControlLogix chassis; not directly interchangeable but functionally equivalent in larger systems
- Siemens 6ES7 322-1BL00-0AA0 – 32-point 24VDC digital output for S7-300; cross-platform alternative for non-AB systems
- Mitsubishi QY80 – 16-point transistor output for Q-series; partial equivalent for Mitsubishi-based systems
Note: Always verify electrical ratings, backplane compatibility, and firmware requirements before substituting modules.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the 1769-OB32 is the right module for your application:
- Output Count: Need exactly 32 discrete outputs in one slot? → 1769-OB32 ✓
- Load Type: 24V DC sourcing loads (solenoids, relays, indicators)? → 1769-OB32 ✓
- Current per Point: Load draws ≤ 0.5 A per output? → 1769-OB32 ✓
- AC Loads or High-Voltage Switching: Consider 1769-OW8 (relay output) instead
- Isolated Commons Required: Consider 1769-OB32T for individually isolated output groups
- ControlLogix Platform: Use 1756-OB32 for 1756 chassis systems
- Sinking Output Required: Consider 1769-IB32 (input) or check 1769-OB series sinking variants

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 1769-OB32 with a 1769-OB16?
A: Yes, but you will need two 1769-OB16 modules to match the 32-point capacity. Ensure you have two available backplane slots.
Q: Is the 1769-OB32 compatible with MicroLogix controllers?
A: No. The 1769 series is designed exclusively for CompactLogix systems. MicroLogix uses a different I/O bus architecture.
Q: What is the difference between 1769-OB32 and 1769-OB32T?
A: The 1769-OB32T features individually isolated output commons, providing better fault isolation. The standard 1769-OB32 shares commons across output groups.
Q: Can I use this module with Studio 5000 Logix Designer?
A: Yes. The 1769-OB32 is fully supported in Studio 5000 v21 and later, as well as RSLogix 5000 v16+.
Q: Do you supply both new and refurbished units?
A: Yes. Both conditions are available. All units are tested and include a warranty. Contact us to confirm current stock.
