Here's a breakdown of the module's features:

Digital Inputs (DI): The module has 16 digital input points that can be used for accepting binary signals from devices such as sensors, switches, or other digital devices.

Digital Outputs (DO): The module also provides 16 digital output points that can be used to control or drive external devices like solenoids, relays, or indicator lamps.

Compatibility: The 1794-IB16XOB16P module is designed to work with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation controllers (PACs), specifically the Flex I/O family. It can be used in combination with other modules in the Flex I/O series to create a modular I/O system tailored to the specific application requirements.

Communication: This module communicates with the controller using an I/O network. The specific communication protocol depends on the backplane or network used within the ControlLogix system.

Expansion: The Flex I/O system allows for easy expansion and flexibility. You can add additional modules to the system to increase the number of I/O points or to incorporate different types of I/O modules, such as analog inputs/outputs or specialty modules.

Configuration: The module can be configured using software, such as the Studio 5000 Logix Designer programming environment, where you can define the behavior and interactions of the I/O points.
