Product Summary
The 1794-IB10XOB6 Flex I/O module merges ten current sink inputs with six current source outputs. This unit operates on a nominal 24 VDC supply, making it a versatile choice for many industrial applications. It provides reliable digital signal management within a compact chassis design. Engineers value its ability to reduce panel space by combining I/O functions in a single slot.
Why Choose the 1794-IB10XOB6 for Your Control System?
The 1794-IB10XOB6 optimizes your cabinet layout by mixing input and output channels. It features exactly ten 24 VDC sink inputs and six 24 VDC source outputs. This combination reduces the need for separate dedicated modules, lowering overall system cost and complexity. Each output channel supports a continuous current of up to 2 amps.
Procurement experts appreciate the module's standard Flex I/O form factor. It uses the widely available 1794-TB3 terminal base for field wiring. This base provides 52 screw-clamp terminals for secure connections. The module draws only 50 mA from the FlexBus backplane, minimizing power supply load and heat generation within the control panel.

This module provides robust performance across its specified temperature range. It relies on enclosure airflow for cooling because it lacks an IP rating. Your design must house the unit in a clean, dry cabinet to ensure long service life and reliable operation.
Comparing the 1794-IB10XOB6 with Alternative Modules
A key advantage of this model is its integrated I/O design. Dedicated input modules require a separate output unit to achieve the same function, using two chassis slots instead of one. The 1794-IB10XOB6 saves that valuable panel space and reduces overall wiring. Its 24 VDC nominal voltage aligns with standard industrial sensor and actuator networks.
Other Flex I/O modules offer a different channel mix. For example, a 1794-IB16 provides 16 inputs with no outputs. An 1794-OB16 delivers 16 outputs with no inputs. The 1794-IB10XOB6 sits perfectly in the middle, offering a balanced 10/6 split for machines requiring both signal types. This balanced configuration prevents wasted channels and optimizes your investment.
Compatibility with the 1794-TB3 Terminal Base
You must install the module onto the 1794-TB3 terminal base, which handles the 24 VDC field power routing. The 1794-TB3 supports daisy-chaining power to adjacent bases, which simplifies panel assembly. Its screw-clamp terminals accept wires from 22 AWG up to 12 AWG. Terminals 0-15 are for I/O connections, while terminals B-16 and B-33 provide the common return path.
