FAQs

Q1: What is the primary function of the 1794-OE4?
It is a 4-channel analog output module for the FLEX I/O system. It converts digital values from the PLC into precise analog voltage or current signals to control field actuators such as variable frequency drives, control valves, and positioners. It supports both voltage and current output ranges, selectable per channel via software configuration.
Q2: Does the 1794-OE4 provide channel-to-channel isolation?
No. The 1794-OE4 provides 4 single-ended, non-isolated outputs. There is no isolation between individual channels. The module does provide 850V DC isolation between the field wiring and the system side (user to system) for 1 second. For applications requiring channel-to-channel isolation, consider the 1794-OF4I or 1794-OF8IH modules.
Q3: What output signal ranges does the 1794-OE4 support?
Each channel can be independently configured via software for:
The default configuration is 4–20 mA. The output terminals remain at 0 mA or 0V until the module is properly configured by the controller.
Q4: What terminal bases and communication adapters are compatible with the 1794-OE4?
The module is compatible with terminal bases 1794-TB2, -TB3, -TB3S, -TB3T, -TB3TS, and -TBN. The 1794-TB3 is the recommended base. For communication, it works with FLEX I/O adapters including 1794-AENT(R) (EtherNet/IP), 1794-ACN(R)15 (ControlNet), 1794-AND (DeviceNet), 1794-ASB (Remote I/O), and 1794-APB (PROFIBUS).
