Product Summary
The 1762-IQ8OW6 delivers eight 24VDC sink/source inputs and six Form A relay outputs. Industrial engineers rely on this module to bridge sensor inputs with discrete control signals. This unit integrates seamlessly into MicroLogix 1100 and 1200 systems.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
The 1762-IQ8OW6 combines eight 24VDC inputs with six relay outputs in a single unit. This integration reduces panel space requirements significantly. Engineering teams benefit from fewer modules to stock and configure.
The input channels accept a 10-30VDC voltage range. This supports both sink and source sensor wiring configurations. Procurement managers value this flexibility for simplifying inventory management.
Input channels split into two isolated groups with four channels each. This group isolation improves noise immunity and wiring organization. Industrial environments with mixed sensor types benefit from this design.
The relay outputs operate from 5-265VAC or 5-125VDC. Each Normally Open contact handles up to 2.5A at 240VAC. This broad voltage range enables direct control of AC solenoids and DC pilot lights.
Relay contacts deliver zero off-state leakage current. This feature eliminates bleed-through issues common with solid-state outputs. Applications requiring absolute circuit isolation perform reliably with this module.
Power supply distance rating limits installation to six modules away. Engineers must plan chassis layout carefully to meet this constraint. The module draws 110mA at 5VDC and 80mA at 24VDC from the backplane.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
Input channels feature a minimum on-state voltage of 10VDC. Maximum off-state voltage sits at 5VDC, providing clear noise immunity margins. This ensures reliable signal detection in electrically noisy industrial settings.
Signal delay for input transitions measures 8 milliseconds. This response time suits most discrete control applications. High-speed counting or fast-pulse detection requires dedicated high-speed modules.
Output relays switch with a 10-millisecond delay for both on and off states. This mechanical switching speed works well for valve control and motor starters. Applications demanding faster response need solid-state output alternatives.
The module dissipates 5.0W at 30VDC and 4.4W at 26.4VDC. Heat generation remains manageable within the MicroLogix enclosure. Proper ventilation around the module ensures long-term reliability.
Continuous current per point reaches 2.5A at 240VAC. Maximum current per common and per module is 8A. Designers must ensure total load across all outputs stays below 8A.
