Output Module Features
Chapter 4
No Load Detection
No Load Detection detects when a wire is disconnected from the output or a
missing load for each output point in the Off state.
• No Load Detection is disabled by default on Compact 5000 I/O
standard output modules.
You must enable the feature in your Logix Designer application project.
• No Load Detection is enabled by default on Compact 5000 I/O safety
output modules. You cannot configure it.
The output modules support the following minimum load currents:
• Standard output modules:
– No load detection current, max = 0.5 mA
– On-state current per channel, max = 1 mA
• Safety output modules - The load detection current is ≥10 mA. For
example, 2.4 Ω at 24V DC.
In the On state, the module must be connected to a load that draws a minimum
current equal to the following values.

condition is detected

IMPORTANT
The following Compact 5000 I/O digital output modules support No Load
Detection:
• 5069-OB8
• 5069-OB16
• 5069-OB16F
• 5069-OB16K
• 5069-OBV8S
• 5069-OBV8SK
IMPORTANT
An output must remain in the off state a minimum of 250 ms for an open
load to be detected.

Tag Value
I/O Status Indicator State
I.Ptxx.NoLoad tag = 1
• Compact 5000 I/O standard output modules - Flashing red if the No Load
condition exists
• Compact 5000 I/O safety output modules -
– Flashing red if a No Load condition exists and the output is off.
– Flashing red/yellow if a No Load condition already exists and the
output is on.
IMPORTANT
: A No Load condition is only detected when the output is off.
