The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 provides eight robust relay outputs for your MicroLogix control system. This module switches both AC and DC loads with high reliability. It directly expands the I/O capacity of compatible controllers. Engineers use it to control contactors, solenoids, and indicators. This module offers a rackless design for easy installation.
Why Procurement Teams Select This Module
Procurement managers value the 1762-OW8 for its proven compatibility and cost savings. It works seamlessly with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers. This reduces the need for multiple spare parts across different systems. The module supports a rackless design that lowers hardware costs. It maximizes I/O points without demanding a large control panel. This makes it a smart choice for system expansions.
You can use this module to control a variety of industrial loads. It energizes magnetic contactors and solenoid valves effectively. It also sends start and run commands to variable frequency drives. The relay outputs handle pilot lamps and alarm panels easily. Each point delivers up to 2.5 A of continuous current. The entire module supports a maximum of 16 A total.
Expert Technical Evaluation and Performance
The 1762-OW8 uses reliable electromechanical relay technology for switching. This provides a clear physical isolation between the controller and field loads. The module has two isolated output groups with four channels each. This isolation helps you wire different voltage sources in one unit. Signal delay is a consistent 10 ms for both on and off transitions.
This module operates with a wide AC/DC voltage range from 5 to 265 VAC and 5 to 125 VDC. It draws a maximum of 80 mA from the 5V DC bus and 90 mA from the 24V DC bus. Heat dissipation is low at only 2.9 total watts. This keeps the enclosure temperature stable. It is designed for Pollution Degree 2 environments.
Engineers should install this module six slots away from the power supply. This distance rating ensures stable bus communication and power delivery. For high-vibration areas, use DIN rail end anchors. For the best stability, choose panel mounting over DIN rail. Always keep debris from falling into the module during installation.
