Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OB32T is a high-density solid-state output module for MicroLogix controllers. It features thirty-two channels arranged in two isolated groups. Each group contains sixteen outputs for flexible wiring. This module delivers a nominal 24VDC output voltage. It supports source wiring for various industrial loads. Typical applications include solenoids, lights, and small DC motors.
Theme A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide for 1762-OB32T
The 1762-OB32T offers excellent value for control system upgrades. Procurement managers can rely on its proven Rockwell Automation pedigree. This module integrates seamlessly with existing MicroLogix platforms. Its high-density design saves valuable panel space. You can control more loads with fewer modules. This reduces overall system costs and complexity.
The module provides a nominal output voltage of 24VDC. It operates across a wide 10.2 to 26.4VDC range. This ensures stable performance even with fluctuating power supplies. Each channel delivers 0.5 A of continuous current. Each group supports up to 2.0 A of continuous current. The entire module can handle a maximum of 4.0 A. This thermal performance holds at 60 degrees Celsius.
The 1762-OB32T uses solid-state technology for high reliability. It offers a fast 0.5 ms turn-on delay. The turn-off delay is just 4.0 ms for resistive loads. This allows for precise control of fast-acting equipment. The module also features a low on-state voltage drop. It only drops 0.3 VDC at full load current.
Application engineers benefit from the two isolated output groups. Each group provides 1200V AC isolation. This protects your controller from electrical transients. It also allows you to power loads from different supplies. This design simplifies system troubleshooting and reduces downtime. The module fits easily into a Pollution Degree 2 environment.
Theme D: Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
The 1762-OB32T demonstrates excellent signal integrity for industrial use. Its maximum off-state leakage current is only 0.1 mA. This prevents false triggering of sensitive loads. The minimum on-state current is just 1 mA. This ensures reliable switching for low-current devices.
The module handles surge currents very effectively. It can withstand 2.0 A surges for 10 milliseconds. This surge is repeatable every 2 seconds at 60 degrees Celsius. This makes the module robust for driving inductive loads. It can handle the initial inrush current of solenoids and relays.
Thermal management is a key strength of the 1762-OB32T. It dissipates only 3.4 Watts of heat. This low heat output allows for dense installation without overheating. The module operates reliably at altitudes up to 6562 feet. It requires no derating for high-altitude installations.
The module supports wire sizes 22, 24, and 26 AWG. This gives you flexibility in field wiring. The enclosure must have a 5VA or better flame spread rating. This ensures safety in an industrial environment. The module interior is accessible only with a tool.
