Discrete Output Module Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 Relay Output

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 is a discrete output module. It belongs to the Compact I/O family. This module provides 16 normally open relay outputs. Each output can switch AC or DC loads. The operating voltage ranges from 5 to 265 Volts AC. It also works with 5 to 125 Volts DC. This module is a perfect fit for CompactLogix systems. It offers reliable and isolated switching for various loads. The 1769-OW16 has two isolated groups. Each group contains eight channels. This design provides flexibility for different wiring setups.

Application Scenarios

This module is ideal for industrial automation tasks. It controls motors, solenoids, and contactors. Use it in packaging, material handling, and assembly lines. It also works well in HVAC and conveyor systems. The relay outputs handle high inrush currents. They are suitable for switching inductive loads. The module is common in manufacturing plants. It also appears in water treatment facilities. The 1769-OW16 is a standard choice for discrete control.

Technical Specifications

The module has 16 outputs. Each output can carry 2.5 Amps continuously. The maximum per common is 10 Amps. The total module current is 20 Amps. Contact ratings are 0.22 A at 125 VDC. For AC, the make rating is 7.5 A at 240 VAC. The break rating is 0.75 A at 240 VAC. Signal delay for on and off is 10 ms. The module draws 125 mA from the 5.1 V bus. It draws 100 mA from the 24 V bus. Heat dissipation is 2.83 Watts typical. The operating temperature range is 0 to 60 degrees Celsius. It can handle 30G shock and 2G vibration.

Installation & Maintenance Guide

Install the module in a CompactLogix chassis. Use copper wire rated for 90 degrees Celsius. Wire size can be 22 to 14 AWG solid. It also accepts 22 to 16 AWG stranded. Torque terminals to the specified value. Ensure proper isolation between groups. The power supply distance rating is 8 modules. This means you can place it up to 8 slots away. Regularly check for loose connections. Keep the enclosure free of dust and moisture. Follow standard safety procedures during maintenance.
