Allen-Bradley 5069-IB8S — 8-Point Sourcing DC Input Module with Exciter Control | CompactLogix 5069 Compact I/O
Engineering Background: The 5069-IB8S is part of Rockwell Automation’s CompactLogix 5069 Compact I/O platform — a modular, high-density I/O architecture designed for demanding discrete and process control applications. The “S” suffix designates integrated exciter control capability, enabling the module to power field sensors directly without external power supplies, simplifying panel wiring and reducing BOM complexity.
Product Positioning: Targeted at procurement engineers and system integrators specifying I/O expansion for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5069 controllers, this module delivers deterministic 24V DC digital input acquisition with on-board exciter outputs. It is the preferred choice for machine safety interlocks, proximity sensor arrays, and high-cycle discrete feedback loops in automotive, food & beverage, and general manufacturing environments.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 5069-IB8S mounts directly onto the 5069 Compact I/O bus base (5069-FPD or equivalent). Field sensors connect to the 18-pin RTB (removable terminal block). The exciter output supplies 24V DC to sensor transmitters; return signals are captured on the 8 input channels and transmitted across the high-speed Compact I/O backplane to the CompactLogix controller. The controller maps each input to a BOOL tag in the I/O tree, accessible in ladder, FBD, or ST routines within Studio 5000 Logix Designer. Diagnostic tags (Fault, Overrange) are updated each RPI cycle.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 5069-IB8S compatible with CompactLogix 5380 controllers?
A: Yes. The 5069-IB8S is fully compatible with all 5069-L series CompactLogix controllers including the 5380 family, provided Studio 5000 v31.0 or later is used.
Q: Can the exciter output power 3-wire PNP sensors directly?
A: Yes. The integrated exciter provides 24V DC at sufficient current to power standard 3-wire PNP proximity sensors without an external power supply.
Q: What is the maximum cable length for field wiring?
A: Rockwell Automation recommends a maximum of 30 m (100 ft) for unshielded cable in standard industrial environments. Shielded cable is recommended in high-noise environments.
Q: Does this module support RIUP (Removal and Insertion Under Power)?
A: Yes. The 5069-IB8S supports RIUP, allowing hot-swap replacement without controller shutdown — critical for high-availability production lines.
Q: What revision/series should I specify?
A: Konmask stocks the current production series. Please contact us if a specific firmware revision or series letter is required for your application.
