Description
Allen-Bradley 5069-OBV8S
Compact 5000 8-channel safety output module rated for SIL CL 3, PLe, Cat. 4 applications. The 5069-OBV8S can be configured as bipolar (sourcing and sinking) or sourcing-only output channels for integration into safety control systems using Compact GuardLogix 5380 controllers. Each output channel provides up to 1A (0.7A in non-horizontal mounting) with LA power connections. Features per-point diagnostics including field power loss detection, no load detection, short circuit/overload detection, overtemperature detection, overvoltage protection, and reverse voltage protection.
