Description
Description
The Allen-Bradley 1769-IQ6XOW4 is a CompactLogix combination I/O module designed for flexible integration within CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500 control systems. This module provides a versatile interface by combining digital DC inputs and relay outputs in a single, space-efficient footprint. It is ideal for applications requiring a mix of discrete signal monitoring and load switching.
Features
- 6-channel DC digital inputs supporting both sinking or sourcing configurations.
- 4-channel isolated normally open (NO) relay outputs for versatile load control.
- Input voltage range of 10-30 VDC.
- Relay contact ratings: 2.5 A at 5-265 VAC or 5-125 VDC.
- Compact I/O form factor for easy DIN-rail or panel mounting.
- Compatible with CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controller platforms.
Applications
This combination module is commonly used in industrial automation tasks where space is limited and a hybrid of input and output signals is required. Typical applications include monitoring sensor states (proximity switches, limit switches) and controlling small external actuators, contactors, or pilot lights via the isolated relay outputs.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure the system power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
- Mount the module on a standard 35mm DIN rail or directly to the panel using the provided mounting tabs.
- Maintain proper clearance for airflow to prevent overheating during operation.
- Use shielded cables for input signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) in high-noise environments.
- Ensure all relay output wiring is appropriately fused based on the connected load and voltage requirements.
- Verify that the module is securely latched to the adjacent I/O modules or controller to ensure proper backplane communication.
FAQ
Is this module compatible with all CompactLogix controllers?
The 1769-IQ6XOW4 is designed for the 1769 Compact I/O platform. Please verify your specific controller's hardware configuration and power supply capacity to ensure compatibility with the module's current draw.
Can the relay outputs be used for both AC and DC loads?
Yes, the relay outputs are isolated and rated for both AC (up to 265 VAC) and DC (up to 125 VDC) loads, provided the current does not exceed 2.5 A per channel.
