About the 1794-OB16D
Diagnostic Output Module
The 1794-OB16D diagnostic output module provides 16 24V DC sourcing
outputs with open-wire, short-circuit, and user supply reverse polarity diagnostic
features. The module monitors current and voltage at each output channel.
The module detects:
• an open fault if no current is present at the output terminal.
• a short fault if no voltage is present at the output terminal.
• a reverse-polarity fault if reverse voltage is applied.
When an open or short fault is detected:
• the corresponding channels red indicator is illuminated.
• the module’s red fault indicator is illuminated.
• the module’s open or short error bit is set.
• the module error bit is set.
When a user supply reverse-polarity fault is detected:
• the modules red fault indicator is turned on,
• and the reverse error bit is set.
• the module error bit is set.
