The Allen‑Bradley 1794-OF4I is a precision analog output module designed for the Allen‑Bradley FLEX I/O platform from Rockwell Automation.
It provides four independently controlled current outputs (4–20 mA or 0–20 mA), enabling controllers to send accurate analog control signals to field devices such as control valves, variable-speed drives, and process actuators.

With high-resolution digital-to-analog conversion and seamless integration with FLEX I/O adapters, the 1794-OF4I supports distributed control architectures commonly used in manufacturing, process automation, and infrastructure systems.
