The 5069-IB16 is a 16-channel 24VDC sinking digital input module in the Allen-Bradley Compact 5000 I/O platform. Each channel reads 10–32VDC discrete signals through a shared SA power return with configurable input filters from 0–50 ms for noise rejection. The module supports reverse polarity protection, pulse latching, pattern matching, and field power loss detection. Compatible with CompactLogix 5380, Compact GuardLogix 5380, and CompactLogix 5480 controllers via the local 5069 I/O bus or remotely over EtherNet/IP.
