The Allen-Bradley 1769-BOOLEAN, also cataloged as the 1769-BOOLEAN Boolean Control Module, executes Boolean logic using discrete and virtual inputs with sourcing outputs in a CompactLogix system. The module provides 8 real inputs, 8 virtual inputs, and 4 sourcing outputs.

Model Identification

The supplied data identifies 1769-BOOLEAN/A as an alternate model reference. No additional suffix decoding is assigned without documented manufacturer data.

Hardware Specifications

Boolean Logic and I/O Architecture

The 1769-BOOLEAN combines physical discrete inputs with virtual inputs for Boolean control execution. The supplied specification identifies 8 real inputs operating at 10-30 VDC and 8 virtual inputs.

Four sourcing outputs are provided for discrete load control. The stated output rating is 0.5 A at a specified voltage range of 20.4-26.4 VDC.

The specified closed loop time is 1 ms. This value describes the supplied Boolean control loop characteristic and should not be interpreted as a general CompactLogix controller scan time.

Industrial Control Interface

As an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix specialty module, the 1769-BOOLEAN is associated with the 1769 I/O architecture rather than a standalone Ethernet/IP communication interface.

The module's I/O density permits multiple discrete control states to be processed within a compact hardware configuration. Actual controller communication and module addressing depend on the host CompactLogix configuration.

Firmware compatibility should be checked against the installed CompactLogix controller and project revision before commissioning. No specific firmware revision is provided in the supplied data.

Ordering Information

• 1 x Allen-Bradley 1769-BOOLEAN Boolean Control Module
• Alternate model reference: 1769-BOOLEAN/A
• No separate terminal block, cable, or accessory kit is identified in the supplied information.
• Mounting and wiring accessories should be selected according to the installed 1769 CompactLogix configuration.

Installation and Wiring Notes

• Verify that the module is mechanically compatible with the intended 1769 CompactLogix assembly.
• Confirm the DC supply voltage before connecting the real inputs or sourcing outputs.
• Maintain correct polarity for all DC I/O connections.
• Route discrete I/O wiring separately from high-voltage switching conductors where practical.
• Use appropriate field wiring protection for connected loads.
• Do not exceed the specified 0.5 A sourcing output rating.
• Provide adequate conductor retention at the terminal interface to prevent intermittent I/O signals.
• Follow the host controller and 1769 system grounding requirements during installation.
• Do not assume hot-swap capability unless explicitly supported by the complete installed hardware configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How many real inputs are provided?

  The module provides 8 real inputs. The supplied specification identifies an input voltage range of 10-30 VDC.

• How many virtual inputs are available?

  The 1769-BOOLEAN provides 8 virtual inputs. These are separate from the 8 physical real inputs specified for the module.

• How many outputs are included?

  Four sourcing outputs are specified. Each output has a stated rating of 0.5 A.

• What voltage range is specified for the outputs?

  The supplied data specifies 20.4-26.4 VDC for the sourcing outputs. No additional output voltage characteristics are provided.

• What is the closed loop time?

  The specified closed loop time is 1 ms. This is a module-level Boolean control characteristic and is not equivalent to overall PLC scan time.

• Is the module an analog I/O module?

  No. The supplied configuration identifies discrete real inputs, virtual inputs, and sourcing outputs for Boolean control.

• What platform is the module associated with?

  The 1769-BOOLEAN is identified as a CompactLogix specialty module. Controller compatibility must be verified against the installed system configuration.

• Is power consumption specified?

  No power consumption value is included in the supplied technical information. A numerical value should therefore not be assigned without manufacturer documentation.
